[iText-questions] merging pdf forms

Hi, I created a fillable PDF Form and i am successfully able to fill the form using itext. Now, i am trying to fill the same form for say over 10 people, i am trying to have all the filled forms in one PDF document. Can you suggest me a solution on how do i get to do this? Here is what my pdf form

Re: [iText-questions] iText 5.0.1 embedded fonts and smartcopy

No mistery. As you have a single glyph the subset will be the same and PdfSmartCopy will include a single instance of the file. The difference comes from the width table that has a single element in the case of the subset and 256 entries for the full embed. Paulo - Original Message -

Bruno shouldn't be "proud" of the price of iText because they are way, way too low. I see here questions that involve the other side of software engineering: the part many people ignore. So this is a digression, but maybe not: similar to people who ask obvious questions about iText but since they

Re: [iText-questions] iText 5.0.1 embedded fonts and smartcopy

It might help if you read the Font section in the PDF standard (ISO 32000-1). A couple of points that might help 1) Obviously, a subset font is smaller than the full embed. 2) Even if multiple that smaller number by 100 (or may even 1000) it may/will be smaller than a full embed depending on th

Re: [iText-questions] iText 5.0.1 embedded fonts and smartcopy

In the first case you have 100 subsets with different names and they all show up. In the second case you still have 100 fonts but as the names are the same (full embedd) only 3 show up. Paulo - Original Message - From: Jason Berk To: Post all your questions about iText here Se

Bruno, That's good information. IMHO, the price of your book is a steal...lots of good information for $60. I purchased through Manning and paid $65.24 with all fees/etc. No problem with that. I hope you sell lots of copies so you can make up in volume what you loose in what seems a low royalt

Re: [iText-questions] Performance when flattening form fields

After more digging, I'm wondering if the place to do this wouldn't be in the PdfCopy.PageStamp class? It seems like PageStamp.alterContents() could do the same flattening operation that PdfStamper does. The ideal would be to factor out the behavior so the code isn't duplicated in both PdfCopy an
