I've commented out pdfStamper.Close() because when executed it seemed to close the memory stream, so I couldn't save it to a file anymore (!). The PdfReader.Close() is a little bit silly thing to do, yes (I realize it now). But why there isn't a PdfStamper.Flush() if there are problems like that?
I have tried without closing anything (just letting the `usings` call Dispose) and there were still problems (I will have to check if you want details on the problems). Perhaps it was that the fields weren't filled. I'll have to check (I'm a little dizzy from the 100 different things I've tried). If that's the case, and this is the right approach, then the real problem is in the field setting. But I wonder how can this be, since SetField() returns true... In the documetation of PdfStamper it says: "The reader will be closed when this PdfStamper is closed". Why the heck is the output memory stream being closed on PdfStamper.Close() ?!?! I use a quite recent (or perhaps the latest) version of iTextSharp. >From what I undertand now, this looks like a bug.
