Aha, "Usage Rights" rings a bell for me. Normally, you can fill in a form using iText without removing the usage rights. However, in versions prior to 2.1.3, the usage rights were lost as soon as an end user saved the form. The reason: iText replaced the complete XFA stream. I changed this, so that only 2 parts were replaced. I didn't replace any security stuff and this keeps the usage rights intact. > Unfortunately, the latest version of iText 2.1.3 doesn't appear to be > working correctly with the same certification process.

Do you have any sample PDFs we can work with? A temporary hack could be adding a flag to indicate if the usage rights have to be kept or not. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
