[iText-questions] Class Cast exception in writer.addAnnotation(formField2); -- any idea?

[anitha . d . chandran]

Hi,
I am using this chunk of code to add form fields in an existing pdf.
But I am getting a class Cast Exception


PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream("c:\\Test.pdf"));
             document.open();
                  System.out.println("*******");
                  PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
                  cb.moveTo(0, 0);

                   System.out.println(writer.getPageNumber());
                         PdfFormField formField2 =
PdfFormField.createTextField(writer, true, true, 0);
                                int x1 = Integer.parseInt(100);
                           int x2 = Integer.parseInt(120);
                        int x3 = Integer.parseInt(120);
                        int x4 = Integer.parseInt(68);
                        rect = new Rectangle(x1, x2, x3, x4);
                        formField2.setWidget(rect,
PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_INVERT);
                        formField2.setFlags(PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_PRINT);
                        formField2.setFieldName("SigCustomerSignature");
                        formField2.setPage(4);
                        writer.addAnnotation(formField2);
                  document.close();

I am getting a classCastException in the line
writer.addAnnotation(formField2);

Any idea, how to get rid of this?

Thanks,
Anitha

Hi,

I have an existing Pdf ( say  x.pdf).
I want to add a few form fields in  this Pdf.

Is there a way to do that? Do you have some examples, you can show me?

Thanks,
Anitha.
