> For our application, we have an interactive form that we use
> to merge xfdf data into. Some of the fields on the form are
> right aligned and have trailing dots, i.e.
> "Language.....English", where "English" is a field on the form.
> Obviously, names of languages occupy varying amounts of
> space. The first thing we tried to do was to make a
> right-justified textbox and add a large number of periods.
> Despite the fact that the box is right-justified, the result
> in Acrobat is that only the periods show and not the language name.

> to use iText to get the coordinates of a field and much less
> how to change those coordinates.
