[iText-questions] label on pushbutton

[David Mease]

Hello, I'm creating a pdf form with iText and can't figure out how to get a label on a push button. I've tried showText and all of the setValue methods. Here's the code I hijacked from somplace on the iText site. it works great except no label.

 

Thanks,

David Mease

 

                PdfFormField pushbutton = PdfFormField.createPushButton(writer);
                cb = writer.getDirectContent();
                cb.moveTo(0, 0);
                PdfAppearance normal = cb.createAppearance(30, 30);
                normal.setColorFill(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
                normal.rectangle(0, 0, 30, 30);
                normal.fill();
//                normal.setFontAndSize(BFarialn, 9);
//                normal.beginText();
//                normal.showText("Submit");
//                normal.endText();
                PdfAppearance rollover = cb.createAppearance(30, 30);
                rollover.setColorFill(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
                rollover.rectangle(0, 0, 30, 30);
                rollover.fill();
                PdfAppearance down = cb.createAppearance(30, 30);
                down.setColorFill(Color.GRAY);
                down.rectangle(0, 0, 30, 30);
                down.fill();
//                down.showText("Submit");
                pushbutton.setFieldName("Submit");
                Object options [] = {"Addendum", "type"};
                PdfAction pdfAction = new PdfAction();
                pushbutton.setAction(pdfAction.createSubmitForm("http://localhost:8080/test/servlet/parseManagerAccidentReportServlet", options, PdfAction.SUBMIT_HTML_FORMAT));
                pushbutton.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, normal);
                pushbutton.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_ROLLOVER, rollover);
                pushbutton.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_DOWN, down);
                pushbutton.setWidget(new Rectangle(290, vertLinePos - 125, 340, vertLinePos - 110), PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_PUSH);
                writer.addAnnotation(pushbutton);
