Is the online form a PDF? If so, I would reuse it. Is the online form available on paper? If so, do you have the original source that was printed? If the answer is positive to any of the questions above, you could create the empty form as a PDF and then stamp the fields on that PDF using PdfStamper. > The business folks want it to look > very similar to the manual form, so I need to print out the value > (preferably underlined and padded to a certain width) with the label > directly beneath it.

You should use PdfPCell.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP); to draw the top border of each cell. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
