Hi, Thank you so much for the reply, i kind of agree with your point that no forms no fields, is it possible to have editable text box / line in the PDF without having a form.
As per your reply "without seeing the PDF we can't say anything that makes sense.", are your refering to any specific properties do you want me to check.

If the PDFs don't have a purple strip, chances are there is no form inside. And if there's no form inside, you can't get the content of the fields, because: no form, no fields. (This is only a guess, without seeing the PDF we can't say anything that makes sense.) -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBAhttp://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customershttp://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions <at> lists.sourceforge.nethttps://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Phani Kumar Reddy Pamulapati < phanikumarredd...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi Tony Gallo, > > Thank you so much for the response, few queries below > > 1. i dont have adove acrobat > 2.
