Hi,

What I basically have is the following:

A servlet produces PDF files containing questionaire (AcroForms based)
that are sent to the recipients via email.

Now the recipients have to fill out the questionaire and ideally should
have the ability to save the data they have entered so far and continue
later where they have stopped previously.

And finally they need to send the filled questionaire back (actually not
the entire PDF document, but only the FDF or similar data) via email.

From the AR7 faq

I know, that it is possible to save forms data now using AR7:

--------CUT--------
Q. Can I save Adobe PDF forms in Adobe Reader after I have filled out a
PDF form?
A. Yes, provided your form has had the "local save" capability turned on
with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. Team members both inside and
outside an organization have access to and can interact with forms. You
can easily open, fill out and submit PDF forms, even from handheld
devices and over wireless connections. However, if the "local save"
capability has not been activated in your PDF form, you will not be able
to save the form data with Adobe Reader.
--------CUT--------

So two questions:

1) can this flag be set with itext or
2) is there an alternative to reach my requirements?

I've played with inserting js code to the PDF (eg. there is a
document.saveAs method), but I failed so far.

TIA

Udo Rader
