Hello Bruno,
Please ignore my prevous mail.
In a console application, I am able to see Fields Text1, Text2 so the way I
have created the PDF is correct and I am able to see Text1 and Text2 through
iText!
So now the only problem is to write the stamper to the HttpResponse.
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("c:\test.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, response.getOutputStream());
stamper.getAcroFields().setField("Text1", "Abhishek1 ");
stamper.getAcroFields().setField("Text2", "Abhishek2 ");
Response.End();
When I run the above line of code I don't see anything in my browser.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Where is the Stamper? You need a Stamper instance too.
Ask the Stamper for the AcroFields and list the fields and field names
first.
That way you will know for sure if you created the form correctly.

When creating the Stamper, you need to pass an OutputStream.
You could use a ServletOutputStream, but there are some browser
issues, please read: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/general/webapp/

I am 99% sure you are creating the TextField correctly.
I think you have an option in LiveCycle Designer to create
Acrobat 6 forms, but doing it the way you did is less confusing.
