hi Tony Gallo, Thank you so much for the response, few queries below
1. i dont have adove acrobat 2. The PDFs are generated by another application, so i cannot do the setField stuff 3. i am not sure whether this point will be of any help, but the PDF's from which i am trying to read, are written from a template. I mean there is PDF tempalte available, the first application populated the Data into those PDFs and forwards them to my application(second). In my application i have to verify the data populated in the PDF is correct or not. My peice of code works properly in case the purple strip / balloon with the message comes up saying "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data ......". The problem is only with PDF's which dont have the purple strip / balloon. Hope i am clear my about the problem i am facing. Do let me know in case any additional details are required. -Regards Funny 2010/1/5 <itext-questions-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net> > Send iText-questions mailing list submissions to > itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > itext-questions-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net > > You can reach the person managing the list at > itext-questions-ow...@lists.sourceforge.net > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of iText-questions digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
