Hi :)
My experience of iText is only a few weeks old, but I'd already made
conditional new pages so I knew that it might help in your circumstance. The
implications depend on what conditions you put into the newPage override. I'd
want to understand it fully as well :) It was only a quick
Hi,
it is the first time i write to the list (pls include my address in the reply),
although we are using successfully iText to produce dynamic PDFs since version
1.01 (currently we are on 1.3).
My question could be considered more PDF-technology oriented rather than
exclusively iText oriented.

That is correct - you need to the XML itself.

Leonard, thanx for your answer.
Does Adobe Acrobat Professional have an API?
Also, we will not be receiving forms, but rather programmatically creating
them.
Can you please be more precise as to where Acrobat Professional gets into the

I think you are right this is not a iText directly related subject, so in
this context you may check IMHO with Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions
technology.

Our suppliers i am talking about are not our clients.
We are their client! And they will not buy or purchase anything just for our
sake. (so your assumption about Acrobar Reader (or any reader, i personally use
kpdf) is correct.
I am not sure that i understood
Reader can't save - which means it can't email a filled in form.

0.5 – and since this is an automated process, Acrobat won’t suffice. You will
need LiveCycle. However, we don’t offer a FreeBSD version though we do have
one for Linux.

It's all about the client.
As you note, Adobe Reader can ONLY save values of forms that have been Reader
enabled (hence the terminology). However, it is true that other PDF
readers/viewers support saving natively and then there are PDF readers/viewers
that don't support saving at all.

Does the LiveCycle implement some standard of PDF? Can iText implement it as
well? Is it a closed adobe extension aiming to work only on Acrobat Reader?
I am not a big PDF techie (standards-wise), just wrote some programs with
iText, thats all.
Reader Extensions (as described in ISO 32000-1) are based on public key
cryptography where the viewer of the document (Adobe Reader, in this case) has
the public key and the authoring software for the document (LC Reader

Hi,
One of the best features IMHO in the LCES workflow about readerExtension
Server and forms, is the functionality for the form originator to:
1. Recall (invalidate) a form that has been issued previously and a client
was handed. This applies if data in the form like Unit Item Price changed!
2.
Adobe's LiveCycle product family (especially Reader Extension Server) is what
one would use in this instance to enable each PDF generated by iText. We have
numerous customers that use tools such as iText to produce the documents but
then enable them with LCRES - no big deal.
No, an ISO 32000-1
Thanx for your precise answer!

You don’t need a database for just Reader Extensions.
Pricing varies based on your usage – you will need to speak to a sales person.

That's not true, you can add a PdfPTable to a PdfContentByte with
