If you have a PDF with a field (e.g. name) that needs to appear twice on the same page (two widget annotations), then the content of those widgets needs to be identical, because the field (name) can only have one value (e.g. Andreas). A single field can never have two different values (that would be a very ambiguous field). However: > I already found an example to create a new page for every dataset in the book > iText in Action.

For instance, you can create parent fields person1, person2,... personN, and create a child field with a single widget annotation for each of these parent fields: person1.name, person2.name,... personN.name. I think that's what you want to do: you want to create a template that you can fill out with iText, adding the content of different records of the same table to different fields on one page. It's not clear if you want to create that template using iText (possible, but some programming work) or a desktop tool such as Adobe Acrobat (no programming involved). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
