Well, yeah we can dicate the Adobe Reader required.

>> Well, you can certainly tell if a PDF has an action associated with it that is a "Submit Form" action - which is the simple & historical way for form submission. This is well defined and not too difficult to develop a test for (either with iText or other tools).

Any ideas where? Which classes? Sorry, I am 2 weeks into using iText and a tad overwhelmed ;-)

Well, the first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with the PDF Reference and Actions. Actions can occur in MANY places within a PDF - not just inside a "push button", and any of one of those places can be a SubmitForm action.

Once you have that list of all the places you need to look - find the associated class for that PDF object and use it in conjuction with PdfReader to read the objects and their values.
