Thanks!, u really followed me all the way. And i have one more question,i
cant change properties of my form (if i remain doing the same things im
doing ofc), do you by chance know a way (any way without iText) that i can
manage to disable edition or make it read only?
Im sorry that i asked something that was documented but ive gathered more
info in forums and mail lists than in the documents ive found. I will try to
find "iText in Action" (the MEAP version) to see what else im ignoring, hope
it covers iText 4th version and on.
