Hi Paulo,
I am looking through the 1200 pdf ref and it is a nightmare for a
beginner...an example would be great, so far I can imagine that to set
a field to visible it would be something like
stamp.getAcroFields().setFieldProperty("fieldname", "setflags",
whatgoeshere, andhere);
There must be some constants in itext I suppose, to designate the
different flags? In which src file?
thanks
