Hi all,

I'm sorry I didn't include this information in my original post on this 
subject, but I only learned this recently.

I have been poking around a bit with the PDF file I generated with 
duplicated field names. To recap, I generate a form with a TextField 
named "dp" on page 1 and page 2 of a form. When I view the PDF under 
Adobe Acrobat, I see the first "dp", but the second "dp" is invisible. 
However, if I bring up Acrobat's thumbnail view, the invisible duplicate 
field can be seen (in the thumbnail, but noplace else). I can click on 
the field and thereby inspect its properties (they appear corrupted). 
When I fix them in the Acrobat TextField Properties dialog, those edits 
don't "stick" when I click OK or even when I goto another pane of the 
dialog.

My boss sitting next to me running Acrobat v6.0.0, and I'm running 
v6.0.5. He ran my code and he sees slightly different stuff when he 
edits the TextField.

If we do a File | Save As... in Acrobat, the missing duplicate field 
appears and it seems to work after that. He diffed the PDF before and 
after saving, but the changes (e.g. pdf v1.4 vs v1.5) were so extensive 
that we couldn't readily see what fixed it.

Now, I may be wasting your bandwidth, b/c I'm running iTextSharp v3.1.1. 
I don't know if the Java iText has the same behavior. But it looks like 
a bug to me. Could someone point me to the right place in the code and 
who I should  coordinate a fix with?

Thanks in advance,

steve
