Re: [iText-questions] Pdf 1.7 and merging XFA data - solved
Am I the only one that figures out what I'm doing wrong 10 minutes after I ask for help from the world?!!??? I needed to use the setXfa() method in the XfaForm class and pass the reader and writer from my stamper. Thanks to the iText team for continuing to allow me to get my work done - you guys rock!

Re: [iText-questions] Pdf 1.7 and merging XFA data
Good morning,
I think Is not a limitation; It's the new form especification that is applied
with LiveCycle Designer 8.0
http://www.nabble.com/extent-of-XFA-support-in-itext-t3336804.html
If you save it as Acrobat 8.0 (Static) PDF Form, you can access to your form
fields, but It's probably necessary make the same change in XFA (XML) form.
With the Dinamic one, you can access to your XFA form fields via:
XfaForm xfa_form = new XfaForm(reader);
XfaForm.Xml2SomTemplate templ = xfa_form.getTemplateSom();
org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementNSImpl xfa_form_fieldX = null;
if (templ!=null){
HashMap templ_hash = templ.getName2Node();
xfa_form_fieldX = (org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredElementNSImpl)
templ_hash.get(form_fieldX_Key);
}
With 'xfa_form_fieldX' (if is not NULL) you can now work with XML tools!
