Wow...terribly sorry for asking a question. I came here because there are experts in here that presumably know more about the inner workings of iText than I do. Pointing me to a 692 page PDF is not exactly helpful, given that it references event examples that pertain specifically to writing Acroscript directly using Acrobat product and not iText for Java.
I am not expecting anyone to help me write my code...in fact when someone asks me for input on a subject such as CF which I know well...I don't lambast them and hurl insults at them...quite the opposite...I try to be direct and give them a working example in hopes they are encouraged to use the product more and at the same time learn something new. Since using iText I have found it to be an amazing API and what I have accomplished with it I am quite proud of...but again, I did go through the documentation, but being a non JAVA person, simply sought out some advice such as "try using this syntax". I certainly didn't envision my professional credentials being questioned and insulted. That being said...I do appreciate the advice. wasegraves wrote: > > fyi, john, the caps in my previous to webpoinz were for emphasis, rather > than shouting. you obviously missed my more direct earlier response to the > op, in which i pointed him directly to the documentation he had missed. > cheers, bill s. > > p.s. in addition, i was gently trying to point out to the op that he was > asking hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, for help doing something he > was perfectly capable of doing himself. in news/discussion groups, it is > considered to be extremely rude to ask many people at once to do your work > for you. > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: John Renfrew <r...@btclick.com> > To: iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Mon, December 7, 2009 1:16:52 PM > Subject: [iText-questions] FW: How can I change contents of a text field > at signing? > > Webpointz, > > ... >>> It is MUCH easier NOT to shout than to be supportive and kind.
