I'm sure it is...but when new ways are added and old ways are not being
depricated, case in point PRAcroForm.FieldInformation and AcroField.Item,
well I'm sitting here programming with iText wondering why I have 2 data
structures for what I would logically expect to be the same information,
and nothing provided saying use blah because it's how we do stuff now.  So
finding this simple and logical way of copying information from a reader
to a writer is made all the more complex.

I've got a ref to the (/AcroForm) dictionary.  Does that contain all the
widgets for the fields as well?  In the writer, can I just putAll the
items from that (/AcroForm) dictionary to the new pdf document?

How does one associate an (/Annot) dictionary with a particular page?

What are indirect references used for?  Is it just a way to identify data
so you don't need the actual object reference?  I see them used in a lot
of places and I wasn't clear what they were being used for.

You guys ever given much thought to ditching the current learn by example
stuff and starting an iText wiki?

Thanks,
-Nick
