Hi; I've come across iText in my research to create a system for secure processing of forms. Basically, the workflow would be as such:
1) Client places an online order 2) The server prepares a pdf form based on the client order information 3) This form is then sent to a field agent for processing. 4) The field agent processes the form making changes to fields and possibly adding some images. 5) The field agent then digitally signs the pdf and returns it to the server. 6) The server verifies the pdf and extracts some field info. 7) The server sends the signed pdf to the client. This is the basic plan. It appears that iText will be ideal for this job. But, before I head out and order the book, I figured I'd get some clarification, as I know little to nothing about pdf creation and pdf forms. 1) Do you believe iText is well suited for my plans? 2) Does adobe reader support form editing for steps (4 and 5)? Or, would I need to build a client app to support this editing? I'm not expecting anyone to prepare a full explanation of how to do this with iText :) Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
