Thanks Paulo, that worked.
I have followup questions now.
In the general properties for the textbox the Fields
for Author and Subject are blank and the Modified
Field is 'Indeterminate'.
I have tried putting MODDATE in addition to
CREATIONDATE.
eg annot.put(PdfName.MODDATE, new PdfDate);
How do I get the Modified date to correctly show?
How do I add the detail for Author and Subject
properties. What PdfNames refer to these? (I did try
Author but suspect this is for the document)
Thanks,
Neil.
