Subject: [iText-questions] Setting font on Acroform
>
> Hello,
> I'm new to iText, I have one question;
> I have some pdf files on which I created some Acroforms with Adobe Acrobat
> Professional 6. I manage to write on the fields, but I cannot set font

> Here is my code (between comments are the Exceptions I'm getting):
>
> PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new
> FileOutputStream("/home/rinaldo/moduloriempito.pdf"));
> /*reader opens the existing pdf file*/
>
> form = stamper.getAcroFields();
>
>
> form.setFieldProperty("cognome","textfont",FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.COURIER),null);
> /*if I try to set textfont i get a

> form.setField("cognome", "xxxxx");
> /*only setting this value seems to work*/

> stamper.close();

> What am I doing wrong?
textfont requires a BaseFont.

The sourceforge moderation interface has been down for some hours but in any
case the moderation is a manual process and can take any time.
