iText can create PDFs with form fields, or add form fields to existing PDFs.
But there's a problem with your workflow. Using Adobe Reader, you cannot save form data locally from a PDF... Mostly. The exception is for PDFs that have been "Reader Enabled". You can reader enable a PDF in one of two ways: 1) Save it from Acrobat Pro (I think this was introduced in v8, not sure) with the Proper Settings. 2) Buy an Acrobat Server Thingy from Adobe. Not at all cheap. So saving the form and emailing it has some issues, but might work anyway. As a sure-fire alternative, PDF forms can submit their data over the internet, either in their native FDF, or via an HTML-style POST. I'd think that would be more stream-lined. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com import legalese.Disclaimer; Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard = null; > -----Original Message----- > From: vandiar [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 7:10 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [iText-questions] Adding input via text boxes to > current PDFdocument using .NET > > We are designing an IMS for the University of Louisiana at > Monroe.
