If you add widget annotations such as a TextField, a button,... using Acrobat (and Acrobat ONLY), then you'll be able to use those fields. If you create a form using Designer (the separate application that is started when you tell Acrobat you want to create a form), you can run into problems (but recent iText version can fill out static XFA forms, so your specific problem may have disappeared by now). > I would like to ask the community what tool(s) do you use to do what I > do.

PDF: I believe JPedal has an example where you can view the PDF and add fields in a GUI (and iText is used under the hood), but I do this the old-fashioned way, with a ruler, measuring millimeters, converting them to pts and PdfStamper.addAnnotation() to add the fields. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
