[iText-questions] iText capabilities

[Bob Haxel]

Hi,   I’m new to iText and am trying to determine if it can do what I want it to. We have a Forms processing application and we need to be able to get into the form and manipulate it somewhat prior to rendering and after it has been submitted back to us. We have experience with the PDF/FDF offering from Adobe and use that now, but it is limiting. I’ve also been mucking around with PDF/XDP, but am having problems populating the form field data (adobe is looking into that now). With the troubles I have been having with XDP, I began to wonder about an API to just modify the PDF directly which brings me here.   Our PDFs will be created in Adobe’s LifeCycle Designer 7. Prior to rendering the form to the user I will need the ability to:   1.)     get/set form field values (Text fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, combo boxes, etc.) 2.)     get/set the submit target URL for a given button. 3.)     Get/set a combo box’s choice list.   Once rendered, it’s fine by me if the form returns an XDP file (in fact right now it’s preferable). So I really just need to do the above.   Is iText what I’m looking for?   Thanks, Bob   Bob Haxel, Sr. Software Developer Patron Systems, Inc. (www.patronsystems.com) 5775 Flatiron Parkway, Suite 230 Boulder, CO 80301 - USA Phone: 303.245.7344  Fax: 303.541.1055 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
