Woutch ! This means lost of data. You'd better look at supported PDF version of 
pdf2ps.

For the FreeMedForms project, I would like to implement the PDF-FDF populating. 
The PDF-FDF is a PDF form that user can feel directly. I would also like to 
implement notation in PDF.

I've found a JAVA based project called pdftk :

Do you have any other references ?
