That's the direction but just worry for now about the actual formatting,
getting the js is trivial.

Paulo,
Much thanks!!! After checking out the updates using tortoise I was able to
build a new release version of itextsharp and the error has disappeared. Now I
need to try and resolve my issue with the text field formatting.
Could you please confirm that this is the direction in which I should be
heading:
Getting the script isn’t all that hard:
1) Get the field’s dictionary
2) From that, get the Action dictionary (PdfName.AA)
3) From THAT, get the formatting action (which has always been a JS action up
to this point), from the PdfName.F key.
4) Get the script from the JS action.
The script can be stored as a PdfString or a PdfStream, either way it’ll be
under the PdfName.JS key.
I just whipped up a number-formatted field in Acrobat 9.x and the script
looks like this:
AFNumber_Format(2, 0, 1, 0, "\u0024", true);
I suspect your best bet will be to parse out the parameters, whip up your own
equivalent functions (in java/c#) and get your results that way. I didn’t find
anything containing the string AFNumber_Format in the Acrobat folder, leading
me to believe they’re embedded as munged resources or not JS at all, but native
functions exposed to their JS environment.
Thanks!

See http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=72954. The easiest way is
to download tortoise svn (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads) and checkout the
repository at
https://itextsharp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/itextsharp/trunk/src/core.

Paulo,
I apologize but, I do not know what you mean by SVN or how/if I can get the
fix.
Thanks!

That's a porting bug introduced with the generics. It's fixed in the SVN.

Subject: [iText-questions] Error using pdfsmartcopy
After going the examples in section 6 of IText in Action (v.2) I have
written a routine to create multiple copies of a single pdf form. The
following code snippet :
Do While reader2.Read
Dim reader As New PdfReader(filename)
Dim baos As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
Dim stamper As New PdfStamper(reader, baos)
Dim acroFields As AcroFields = stamper.AcroFields
Dim i As Integer = 1
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()
Dim newreader As New PdfReader(baos.ToArray)
copy.AddPage(copy.GetImportedPage(newreader, 1))
pagecount += 1
MsgBox(pagecount)
Loop
Produces an error – ‘the given key was not present in the dictionary’ –
when the copy.AddPage(copy.GetImportedPage(newreader, 1)) line is executed.
I’d really appreciate if someone could shed some light on what might be
causing this error.
Thanks!
