Yes, but the examples in the tutorial can only carry you so far. What you really, really need to do if you wish to work with iText is purchase a copy of the book _iText in Action_ (see the "Buy the eBook" link at www.lowagie.com/iText). > I am running into several forms that do not > return any fields using this approach that I need to find a way to > populate. You should not expect to be able to populate fields that do not (yet) exist. Burn this fact into your brain permanently. You'll be glad you did. > I am a beginner, so any help is greatly apprciated.

There are several examples in the book (see Chapters 2 and 15) and on the book support site that will be helpful to you in your quest to convert PDF forms (unfillable) into AcroForms (fillable). > Thanks in advance. > You're very welcome!
