Hi Paulo, If Itext do not support Dynamic Forms, how come I am able to merge the datas to pdf when I use PdfStamper destStamp= new PdfStamper( destReader, new FileOutputStream(DEST2) , '\0'); without the append flag.?
I am not sure if mine are a dynamic form, i save it as a dynamic form,but there are no creation of field by the click of a button of sort.
