If you are referring to the javascript field formating it's not supported.
However, if you know the formating you can apply it with:
AcroFields.SetField(fieldname, fieldvalue, fielddisplay)
For example SetField("amount", 35, "$35.00").

Paulo,
If you have a minute to let me know about the formatting question I would
greatly appreciate it.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Question about merging pdf documents
Thanks for all of the feedback… I’ve got things working (more or less) the way
that I want. One additional question… in designing my pdf form document I am
accessing the properties of several form fields and setting the format to the
way that I want the values to appear. My resulting pdf document (created with
pdfstamper) is ignoring the formatting. I read one post that indicated the
solution to this problem was to set formflattening to false (and then write
protect the document with some java script)?
Is this the way to do it or is there some other option that I am overlooking?
Thanks again for your help!

See http://1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=35. The idea is to
create the individual files with PdfStamper and then combine them with PdfCopy.

Paulo,
Thanks for the quick response. I’ve tried to find an example or some
documentation as to what you mean but can’t come up with anything. Would you
please tell me exactly how to reload the pdf written by the stamper. Also, I’d
really like to be creating the stamper documents in memory… do I do this just
by changing the os used when creating the stamper?
Thanks again for your help!

After closing stamper you'll have to reload the pdf written by stamper.

Subject: [iText-questions] Question about merging pdf documents
Hi,
I’ve been trying to get this to work for several days now and am pretty close
but, it appears that I am overlooking something. I am writing a comclass using
VS2005 and the itext class. The comclass reads from records from a database and
then, using a pdf document with form fields, creates a separate page (i.e.,
document) for each record in the table. My comclass works just fine if I write
each resulting pdf out to separate file but I’d like to merge the individual
documents into a single pdf. Here is the code that I am using:
Dim out As New System.IO.FileStream(Me._CreateDocumentPath &
Me._CreateDocumentName, FileMode.Create)
Dim document As New Document()
Dim writer As PdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, out)
document.Open()
Dim page As PdfImportedPage
Dim fieldvalue As String = ""
Using connection As SqlConnection = New
SqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString)
Try
connection.Open()
Catch exception1 As SqlException
ProjectData.SetProjectError(exception1)
Dim exception As SqlException = exception1
Interaction.MsgBox((Conversions.ToString(exception.ErrorCode) &
" " & exception.Message), MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, Nothing)
Dim str3 As String = ("Error: on database connection: " &
Conversions.ToString(exception.ErrorCode) & " " & exception.Message)
ProjectData.ClearProjectError()
Return str3
End Try
Using command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM
##PDFFormValues", connection)
Using reader2 As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader
Dim pagecount As Integer = 1
Dim fieldCount As Integer = reader2.FieldCount
Dim num3 As Integer = (fieldCount - 1)
Do While reader2.Read
Dim reader As New PdfReader(filename)
Dim stamper As New PdfStamper(reader, New
FileStream("h:\temp" & pagecount & ".pdf", FileMode.Create)) ' New
FileStream(path, FileMode.Create))
Dim acroFields As AcroFields = stamper.AcroFields
Dim i As Integer = 0
Do While (i <= num3)
If IsDBNull(reader2.GetValue(i)) Then
fieldvalue = ""
Else
fieldvalue = reader2.GetValue(i)
End If
acroFields.SetField(reader2.GetName(i),
Conversions.ToString(fieldvalue))
i += 1
Loop
stamper.FormFlattening = True
stamper.Close()
page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1) 'This gives
blank forms if stamper.close is commented out, otherwise, i get error 14
document.NewPage()
writer.DirectContent.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0)
pagecount += 1
Loop
reader2.Close()
End Using
End Using
End Using
The closest that I have gotten is a document with the correct number of pages
(ie. One for each record in my table) but with none of the form fields showing.
I’d really appreciate it if you could point out what I have done wrong or an
missing.
Regards.
