Thanks for pointing it out! My bad! I really appreciate your help!
It was the ambiguity bug and you were right i was too caught up in it.I was
thinking more intems of the right version of the jar than thinking it as a java
bug. and i zeroed in on the error as soon as i sent the mail.
And i am sorry i shouted URGENT. When you have one day to research about all
the java pdf libraries and try them out and find the best one suitable for your
application and incorporate it in your application, i guess i ran out of time
and was not thinking straight..atleast for a moment when i sent the mail. But i
figured it out. You can believe me when i said i am new to itext.

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)>
