I definitely agree about the filtering out of this mailing list though...administrative work on a mailing list is never a fun job.
My intentions really truthfully were not to hijack your message here about the mailing list for my own intentions, I was just trying to use my question as an example of some of the decent uses for the list. However, since you asked... My scenerio is that I have a pdf digital signature field on an acrobat file. This pdf has been digitally signed earlier in the application so it now has signature data already in the file. My goal is to change the contents of an already signed digital signature from earlier in the application to an empty digital signature field. I would prefer not to have to completely delete the entire field but to instead simply clear the values the field has associated with it in order to revert it to an "empty" digital signature field for re-signing later on. I guess my question really breaks down to this: Within this library, is it possible to empty those values or when the library was built was it more with the idea that deleting a whole field and re-adding it into the document was determined best practice. For me, there is a bit of a disconnect to that logic. For example, if I'm creating a web form and want to clear the value of a field in a web form I certainly wouldn't delete the field and recreate it but would instead set the value to an empty string. Similarly, if I'm clearing a value of a form field in a pdf why would it make sense to delete the whole field instead of simply clearing the field's value? -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/About-this-mailing-list-tp2968159p2968250.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
