[iText-questions] Clarification of usage

[rakesh mailgroups]

Hi,

just another point which may or may not be obvious.

I have been tasked with generating an application form, pre-populated with client data.

I have been given a blank pdf form. I was trying to create the pdf programmatically and merge in my dynamic data.

I was looking through the Powerpoint slides that are available and it talks about being able to load a pdf and add data to it. So rather than try and build the pdf in its entirety from scratch, i can just read it in and put in my data.

However, does this only work for AcroForms? A special type of pdf that would have been created specifically for programmatic insertions, rather than any pdf?

Cheers

Rakesh
