Does anyone have any example java illustrating the filling of PDF Forms?
First a clarification: you can use iText to fill in AcroForms (forms created with Acrobat), not to fill in XFA Forms (forms created with LiveCycle).
I thought I saw some, but lost it. I see that the "iText by Example" has still left that to be filled-in (the rest of that work is tremendously helpful).
The tutorial isn't updated because I have written a book about iText. This book is now being revised by an editor (it isn't published yet).

Suppose you have a form like this: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/forms/fill/SimpleRegistrationForm.pdf Then you can turn it into a form like this: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/forms/fill/registered.pdf or into a flattened PDF (without a form) like this: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/forms/fill/registered_flat.pdf The code to do this looks like this: http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/forms/fill/Register.java There's much more to tell about forms. The book will have examples that tell you how to fit the text into a text field if the text is too long, how to replace a button field by an image, and so on... br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
