Hi
everyone,
We're using iText to
form fill PDFs for an application, and are very happy with the library - so
firstly I'd like to thank any developers who are subscribed to this list for
your work.
I do have a question
though - as it stands the user cannot save the PDF offline with the data in the
form. Obviously I can flatten the form fields and the user can then save
it, but that removes the ability for them to make further edits to the form (not
something I can afford to rule out at this stage). I have seen some forms
(see http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf for
an example) that allow the user to edit the form fields, and save them offline
with the form data. I believe this is because they have document rights
enabled, but am not quite sure what this means, or if it's something I can do
within iText, or if it's something I need to do to my template
document.
Has anyone had any
experience with using iText to do this sort of thing? Any
hints/suggestions would be appreciated.
cheers
dim
