Answer 1

Perhaps you should start by researching yourself using Google, and then return to stackoverflow when/if the available information online hasn't satisfied your answers. (In essence, when you're not "totally new", anymore.)

If you still need help, you can ask a question on stack overflow that's more specific and helpful, including the information you've found online and how you've used it to increase your understanding.

Not only does this make it easier for people to help you, but additionally it shows a level of diligence and respect for those who would help you. It would demonstrate that you are eager to learn, and not just posting a question here so that "someone else will Google this for you."

Answer 2

Apparently reportlab does not support creating fillable pdf forms. The only thing I found about it being present in the API dates from 2003, afterwards all statements clearly say no.

I'm answering this so late because this is one of the highest hits when you enter 'reportlab forms' in google. I do agree with Travis you should google easy questions yourself, but this isn't really clearly answered anywhere.
