It's possible to call .NET from COM but it's not something that comes out of the box. You'll have to write a wrapper around iTextSharp to take care of the COM limitations, like a default constructor, for example.

You can add extra text in any orientation (but it's stamped on top of the existing content, the existing content doesn't move; you can't "insert" a row or a line). > 2.

The best way to do this, would be to ask the supplier of the documents to add text field annotations (AcroForm technology). You can easily do that in Acrobat. iText can fetch the coordinates of those fields, fill them out, and "flatten" the PDF. > 3.

It has been 10 years since I last heard of somebody using Delphi. I have no idea if you could use iText in a Delphi context. Maybe another subscriber of the list can help you further. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ Aviso Legal: Esta mensagem é destinada exclusivamente ao destinatário.
