Define "rendering". iText doesn't "render" PDFs to a viewer. iText can create and manipulate PDF documents. For instance: iText can fill out forms resulting a new PDF. - iText has full support for AcroForms. - iText has partial support for XFA forms XFA: * dynamic XFA: iText can fill out these forms, but can't flatten them. * static XFA: [A] static XFA with an AcroForm counterpart: different strategies can be used: 1. fill out "as if" the form is an AcroForm. In this case, iText will update the AcroForm and the XFA. => this works in most cases, the book (deliberately) shows a case where it doesn't work. 2. fill out the AcroForm and replace the XFA stream. => solves problems that can be encountered in 1., but isn't a programmer-friendly solution. 3. throw away the XFA and fill out the AcroForm: this is the safest way to fill out such a form. => note that not all functionality available in XFA is available in AcroForms, so you may lose formatting. [B] static XFA without an AcroForm: iText can fill out these forms, but can't flatten them. If you want to know which forms you have, please read chapter 8 of "iText in Action - Second Edition". Note that pure XFA forms can't be flattened with iText (nor with any other non-Adobe software we know of). Whenever you see examples of static XFA forms being flattened, it's in reality the AcroForm counter-part that is used. We are working on a project to develop pure XFA flattening; there's no ETA for that project. As 1T3XT is currently the only company sponsoring the R&D, it will probably be a closed source product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
