As for your question: it is possible to determine the type of a field with method AcroFields.getFieldType, this will return one of the following values: AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_NONE AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_TEXT AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_PUSHBUTTON AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_RADIOBUTTON AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_CHECKBOX AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_COMBO AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_LIST AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_SIGNATURE However, if a field is a text field (FIELD_TYPE_TEXT), there is no way to tell if it should contain a name, a date,... or any other construct. br, Bruno Using Tomcat but need to do more?
