Get the field dictionary, and look for the "Ff" key (PdfName.FF; stands for "Field flags"). The value corresponding with this key is a number that you should treat as a bitset. If the first bit is on, the field is read-only. If the second bit is on, the field is required. If the third bit is on, the field mustn't be exported. In other words: you have to look if the second bit is on. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
