And in this FAQ entry: http://1t3xt.be/?X000403
I read the FAQ and tried the second suggestion (used the append flag). It works! I edited the acroform in a rights enabled pdf file using iText and then I was able to edit the acroform again using Acrobat Reader and save the file. I also noticed that if I tried to add a new page to the pdf then I got the same message stating the document has been changed (but that's ok with us). As we are concerned with being compliant with the Adobe License, we would like to have a better understanding of why editing the acroform multiple times is possible. Why is appending "the document changes as a new revision" ( http://www.1t3xt.info/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfStamper.html#PdfStamper(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader,%20java.io.OutputStream,%20char,%20boolean) javadocs ) any different than simply editing a pdf file via a stamper? My assumption is that Adobe allows the developer/user to edit the Acrofield values as many times as they wish, by appending the changes. Changing the pdf structure will remove user rights regardless of the appending flag. Finally saving Acrofield values without setting the append flag to true is treated as changing the structure. Is this correct? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/About-submitting-acrofield-values-and-user-rights-tp23175524p23194954.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
