Er... the problem isn't with your PDF. The problem is that you are using setField on the read only AcroFields instance obtained from PdfReader. Have a closer look at the examples in the book. You need the AcroFields instance obtained from PdfStamper. stamper.getAcroFields() instead of reader.getAcroFields() br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
