I don't know who made that recommendation here - but I can vouch for
the fact that XPAAJ is dead. I was involved in the discussions to
kill it.

Leonard,
That is strange because I have in my hands a recent (6 months old,
maybe) recommendation from Adobe, and they told us to use XPAAJ.

FYI: XPAAJ has been discontinued and is unsupported technology.
Adobe recommends that you NO LONGER USE it...

In the first choise, and because you would have bought Reader
Extensions, you could then use XPAAJ instead of iText, because
merging (only) data with XPAAJ should not take the Reader enabled
"thing" from your form. This would improve your solution because
you would need to send only one time the pdf template to Reader
Extensions.
Off course iText is more powerful than XPAAJ, but it doesn´t seems
to be the best solution in this scenario.
