OK. > but is > it possible to create an Acroform in a webapplication, Yes, don't you have a standard form you can use? You can always fill in fields before sending it to the browser. (Of course, if the forms are really personalized; that is: different for each user, you can create them on the fly; it's just that I know few situations where that is necessary.) > send the form to > a servlet (using the submit button) "Send the form": you can send the filled in fields to the server as FDF, XFDF or an HTML query string. > and write result to a ‘real’ pdf > document on our fileserver? Yes, you can use iText to fill in the form on server site; - if the data is sent as an HTML query string, use setField; - if the data is sent as (X)FDF, use this example: http://1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=250 Look for XfdfReader en FdfReader, and form.setFields(fdfreader); or form.setFields(xfdfreader); This is easy if every user gets the same form; if the forms are created on the fly, you'll have to save the original form somewhere (on disk, in a database, as a temporary file,...) -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
