We create PDFs using XSL-FO/Java but not Adobe LiveCycle. We would like to distribute the PDFs to users not connected to our system so they can comment on the text, then send the comments back where the comments would be programatically extarcted and saved back to our system.
Does anyone have any suggestions for the best way to do this? One idea (which may or may not be possible) would be to a) add empty comments using itext at fixed positions throughout the document (ready for thers to edit?) b) attach a unique ID to the comment (so that we can link back to the content item in our system) The theory would then be for a user to add text to the comment, save (offline), then send the PDF back to the system where we woudl read the comments usign Itext and macth back again. Another possibility would be to use form fields but the "text comment" part would have to be dynamic (revealed or pop-up) so that it does not obscure theconent on the page (which is why we thought of using comments). Not lookign for any code, just an idea of best approach or if its even possible. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-Itext-create-read-comments-in-a-PDF-tp22850515p22850515.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
