Why? Did you also import java.awt.*? If so, that could be the reason because there's also a java.awt.TextField. But then why don't you fully qualify Rectangle, because there's a java.awt.Rectangle and a com.lowagie.text.Rectangle. You need the latter because there's no constructor with the java.awt.Rectangle in com.lowagie.text.pdf.TextField. > I get this error: > > "test.java": cannot find symbol; symbol : constructor > TextField(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter,java.awt.Rectangle,java.lang.String), > > location: class com.lowagie.text.pdf.TextField at line 362, column 69 Aha, your error message is right. There is no such constructor. The constructor you need is TextField(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter,com.lowagie.text.Rectangle,java.lang.String) not TextField(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter,java.awt.Rectangle,java.lang.String) Do you see the difference? > Any help would be appreciated. Was it really necessary to shout "URGENT"? You would easily have found the answer yourself if you had done some effort. This question was completely off-topic on this iText forum: it was a simple Java issue. Please understand that many people just discard mails with "URGENT" as subject, whereas others get angry. It is considered to be very impolite to claim something is urgent (after all you are using free software, you don't have the right to DEMAND assistance). Moreover I don't believe you. It's not very credible to let people who are new to iText give an assignment that involves PDF forms. Especially since your problem was that trivial (with a very obvious answer) I think you were just lazy and I hope you'll think twice before posting another question. best regards, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
