Thanks a lot Mark. Your fix has worked amazingly well. Many thanks and regards

And that works in Reader 7? Huh.
Looking at the "Manipulating existing PDF documents" example,
"AddWatermarkPageNumbers" in the tutorial section, I see that you've neglected
calls to under.beginText() and under.endText()... which is pretty basic and I'm
a bit embarassed I didn't catch it earlier.
So your code should look something like:
under = stamp.getUnderContent(1);
under.beginText(); // new *******
under.setFontAndSize(bf, 9);
under.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "TEST", 320.0f,730.0f, 0);
under.endText(); // new *******
stamp.close();
Your form may still be Reader Enabled, meaning you'll have to strip out the
ability to save the form from reader and such things that may be present in a
federal form... again, reffer to the previously mentioned thread:
"Acrobat 8 & Some PDFs", starting February 17th by Edwin S. Ramirez. Here's

I don't know what "reader enabled" means. To guess, the form can be opened
in Acrobat reader. In fact it is a (US) Federal application which is
distributed all over the WWW.
Basically, I am stuck with that form and FDF is not an option.
The error I get in Acrobat 8 is:
"An Error Exists on this Page; Acrobat may not display the page
correctly"
When I open the what I think is the filled form, all I see is the original
form without the text stamped on it.

This sounds an awful lot like something that just came up. Is the form
in question "Reader Enabled"?
iText breaks 'enabled' forms, any change will, unless you know exactly how to
update the docment-level rights. iText does not, Acrobat 8 does.
Option 1: Remove the rights from the source form.
Option 2: Remove them programatically within iText. Check the list archives
over the last week, the details are there.
If you're stuck with that particular form, and need to set values, you might
be able to use an FDF instead of creating an entire PDF. FDF files contain
field/value pairs and a URL to the source form. You can stuff other things in
them as well, but that's what they're used for most often.
If your source form is not reader-enabled, then we'll need more information.
Can you tell us the exact text of the error message from reader 8? A URL to a
copy of your modified form would also be helpful.

I start with a PDF form. Here is how the code looks:
String pdfApp="form.pdf";
String pdfFile="filledform.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfApp);
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream(pdfFile));
PdfContentByte under;
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA,
BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
under = stamp.getUnderContent(1);
under.setFontAndSize(bf, 9);
under.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "TEST",
320.0f,730.0f, 0);
stamp.close();

The PDF's generated open fine in Acrobat Reader Version 7 but not in Acrobat
Reader Version 8. Does anyone have this problem?
