I'm sorry. However, I don't consider this: http://api.itextpdf.com/itext/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfFormField.html or this: http://api.itextpdf.com/itext/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/TextField.html ..to be documentation. They are either an automatic listing of all the available methods or (at best) a developer's tiny comments for each method taken right out of the code.
And books, like "iText in Action", are not considered to be documetation either. That's documetation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.stream.aspx Even now that you have mentioned it, I don't really know where I should have looked to learn that TextFields generate PdfFormFields. Should I spend a whole month reading a book (that is not free and refers to Java, by the way) before start using iTextSharp? And why is it: PdfFormField field = textfield.getTextField(); ..and not : PdfFormField field = textfield.getPdfFormField(); It doesn't even make sense... Perhaps I should have searched more, indeed. But I see no documetation and no obvious hint in the methods that suggest what you've just said to me. It makes me believe that iText is designed to be confusing and weird so that people go and buy the book. Anyway, thanks a lot. :) I'm not nagging about the lack of documentation or anything. I'm just nagging for you wondering why I haven't fugured it out yet. iText has nothing obvious on it. (If there is a documetation somewhere that I don't know of, let me know) Best Regards. > On Thu, 06 Jun 2013 16:40:41 +0200, _ <k...@dataverse.gr> wrote: > >> Can a TextField be locked the same way a PdfFormField can?
