> Upon reading some other threads (including mine), concerning PDF's created > by Acrobat's Designer 7, I have some questions. > > 1) Since most of the PDF's (Policies) will be designed as "templates" by > the > graphic design team in my company, to be filled out later through iText > java > Applications with data from a Database. What must the designer team take > in > account (static forms, dynamic forms), when using Acrobat Designer, that I > won't have any trouble with iText commands? The "templates" will contain > some TextFields (filled out with AcroFields) and pages containing maybe a > logo and some static text with a blank area to filled out with more > dynamic > content (e.g. PdfPTable, Paragraph). > Unless you really, really, really have to use Designer forms, don't. Use plain Acroforms. If you have to go that path iText only supports static forms although it can also fill dynamic ones as long as no new fields are created. > 2) A more native PDF question. How does a PDF connect the XFA object with > the actual Acroform Object (e.g. textfield) internally? Where in the PDF > Reference manual can I find info about this? It may be a good start for me > to add more XFA functionalities in iText? > That's another book, see http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html.
