Hi, Great feedback!
Our goal is to distribute a PDF to users validated via username/password input inside the pdf, for viewing on their desktop using the standalone Adobe Reader. The target audience associates with each other, so to deter unauthorized sharing, we wish to control security by monitoring where the documents are opened. We thought monitoring IP addresses was best. Is that possible with iText? Or is this type of monitoring only possible with a DRM server using Adobe LiveCycle? Hindering unathorized sharing is the reason we thought of populating the PDF's blank pages with FDF data sent from a remote server, every time that PDF is opened. We figured we could simply build text boxes in those blank pages, designated to receive the incoming data, similar to the way forms are populated automatically. The text wouldn't needed fancy formatting. It would need to appear like text in a book. Can iText populate a PDF in this way? As far as implementing a Java server as you suggested, that will not be a problem. We are hardcore PHPers and didn't realize our language is nonsense for serving generated PDFs. We welcome more of your knowledgable insight. You got us all scratchin' our heads over here! Thank you for your help!
