That's a relief, because I use the localhost in demos to explain how to pre-fill forms in a web application. Not all classrooms have Internet access to do the demo on line. > Second - you can submit your data to localhost and have the server > return FDF/XFDF (or in the case of an XFA form - XFA/XDP/etc.).

Again I'm happy to hear this because that's exactly what I do in some examples that come with my book, so that people can see what an FDF or an XFDF look like. > What we DO wish to prevent via the EULA is the creation (and > distribution) of software that acts as the local server AND DOES THE > SAVE!

I have given several iText demos now, and I always talk about Reader Extensions. However, based on my experience on the field (the Belgian eGov sector), I have the impression that not many people are aware of this functionality. > We already offer dynamic forms support via XFA forms.

I followed a course on PDF last week, and when somebody asked if you could have forms in PDF that grow and shrink depending on the content of the fields, even the teacher said it wasn't possible!!! I had to stand up and explain the difference between XFA and AcroForms. best regards, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
