Indeed, that's the way to go. Go to http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/ download the examples-12x.zip and look for a PdfStamper example. There are also other solutions. For instance, if your original PDF has an Acroform, you could merge the parameters send by the HTML form into this form. That way you don't need to worry about coordinates. iText does it for you. Search the archives of the mailinglist for PdfStamper, FDF, AcroFields and/or merge. I'm sure you'll find some more examples. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
