Hi
Thanks for your previous advice.
As a first test I tried to use the example form_text.java to add text to a
existing pdf document.
I extracted the first page from the PDFReference an added the textfied and
it worked just fine.
When I tried to do tha same with my scanned forms as the base pdfs the
textfield I added did not show.
No exceptions was thrown. Any Ideas about this? Is it possible my base pdfs
are broken in some way?
thanks

Performance and typography. #1 will be faster and supports
all of the typographical features of iText (kerning, arabic shaping,
font/style selection etc.). #2 will limit you to Acrobat form fields
and their restrictions - unless you want to deal with flattening...
