Hi Mark,
thanks for your reply.
PS: This code won't create radio/check fields.
This code was for TextFields.
My problems (still) are:
- Text and checkbox-fields are modifiable
- When I view the pdf in a viever like Foxit-Reader or on Mac the radio and
check-boxes aren't checked anymore. Acrobat is working.
My stripped code bellow:

If your CellField event makes a copy, then setting the FF_READ_ONLY flag
after creating the event handler won't do you any good.
PS: This code won't create radio/check fields. You should at the very
least be calling PdfFromField.createButton, createCheckBox or
createRadioButton. That or we're missing some Important Code in
CellField.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Unmodifiable
radiobuttons/checkboxes in table cell
Hi,
thanks to your help, I'm able now to to add my
checkboxes/radiobuttons/textfields to my table.
Only one more thing bugs me: I can't get my fields immutable
(except of radiobutton).
...
PdfFormField someField = PdfFormField.createEmpty(writer);
someField.setFieldName("xxx"); PdfPCell someCell = new
PdfPCell(); someCell.setCellEvent(new CellField(writer,
someField, cellFieldName, FIELD_TYPE_TEXT, someText);
someTable.addCell(someCell);
someField.setFieldFlags(PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY);
document.add(someTable);
Cheers
Jonny

Please read chapter 8 for more info.
My problem is that im working with the 2007 book. :(
Read on until you reach p490.
There's a code sample on that page that shows how to:
get the connection between the PdfPCellEvent and how to add a
RadioCheckField into my cell.
Actually, the code sample adds a TextField, not a
RadioCheckField, but
it's easy to adapt the example.
More precise:
I dont't know how to get the rect out of the PdfPCellEvent, to
dynamically create a RadioCheckFields within the table. I
guess I'm missing something here.
As I explained in my previous answer:
The coordinates of the cell are stored in rect.
If I misinterpreted your question, and if you mean you don't
understand how cell events work, read section 10.2.2 in the First
Edition of "iText in Action" (that's the 2007 book).
