Hi Paulo, Thanks for the prompt reply,
The PDF returned from the client as PdfStamper.getAcroFields().getFields() returns 0 fields so I can't readily loop over the fields to do that. I can certainly call it with the field names having prior knowledge of what should be there but I guess that's not what you meant and it doesn't appear to work.
