Some of our documents are entirely generated by iText, will that be a problem?
(n.b., I haven't tried signing one of these documents yet, so it might not be a
problem.)
I'll pass on the word to TPTB that we'll need to edit the documents that are
just used as templates. As I understood comments elsewhere the bits should be
passed through on current versions of itext.
Thanks,
Bear

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Client signature of FDF
You need to use Adobe Acrobat Professional or Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions
Server in order to "Reader Enable" the PDF to allow Reader to sign it.

I saw similar questions in the mailing list but nothing quite like this...
We've been generating and caching complete PDF documents in our database and
trusting the user to physically sign the documents and mail them to the
appropriate authorities, but we're expanding our application and the latest
customer wants the users to digitally sign the documents.
I can send a PDF to the client and get a FDF back, per section 15.3.2 in "iText
in Action". I can set up a signature field on the PDF I send to the client.
But....
1. How does the client actually sign the document? I can get the
signature field on the form, but not sign it. Is this handled by embedded
javascript? A problem with my Reader 9 configuation?
2. Will the signature remain on the merged document?
Thanks,
Bear
