Hi Zhang, However, I still don't understand why the example: part2.chapter06.FillDataSheet cited earlier and located here: http://www.itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=122 would not be closer to what you're needing. The only thing that would have to be changed from the FillDataSheet example is how to get the values for each field. In the FillDataSheet, the field names and values are read from a database connection: DatabaseConnection connection = new HsqldbConnection("filmfestival"); In your case, I guess you're getting the names (or keys) and values some other way. > > If you give me your private email address, I can copy the complete code to > you. You should be able to see my email here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/61457 I'd be happy to look at it; however, I doubt if I could be any further help.
