want people be able to fill out the form and email it back even if they only
have Adobe Reader. I take a pdf template copy the file and prefill the form
fields and attach the new pdf to an email. When O open the attachment from
the email useing Reader the form fields are missing it will be correct int
Acorbat Pro but not in Reader I get a message that the file has been edited
and the Reader functionality is no longer available. How can I create the
for so the users can fill it out and email back?

File fileIn = new File(formDirectory+"/"+
pdfFormName);
File fileOut = new File(emailAttachmentDirectory
+"/ContactInfo_"+ theOrganization.getId() +".pdf");
FileCopyUtils.copy(fileIn, fileOut);
InputStream itStrm = new FileInputStream(fileOut);
PdfReader readerNewFile = new PdfReader(itStrm);
FileOutputStream fileOutStream = new
FileOutputStream(fileOut);
ByteArrayOutputStream theNewFile2 = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(readerNewFile,
fileOutStream);
AcroFields formFields = stamper.getAcroFields();
//fill the pdf's organization info fields
