This is a PDF that has an AcroForm entry in the root object, but the AcroForm doesn't have any fields. In other words: this is not a form. > http://old.nabble.com/file/p28099416/F01.pdf F01.pdf This is a PDF that has the two technologies: - it has an AcroForm that can be filled out and flattened with iText. - it has an XFA form that can be filled out with iText, but that can't be flattened. XFA is more recent technology than AcroForm technology. For instance: the field "otra parte" in AcroForms has the following coordinates: [56.542 540.017 558.129 591.96] and that's it. In XFA, the same field is described as: <field h="18.3243mm" name="otra_parte" w="176.9488mm" x="19.9468mm" y="70.5697mm"> <ui> <textEdit hScrollPolicy="off" multiLine="1" vScrollPolicy="off"> <border hand="right" presence="hidden"><?templateDesigner StyleID aped0?></border> <margin/> </textEdit> </ui> <font size="9pt" typeface="Helvetica"/> <para lineHeight="16.875pt" textIndent="21.6pt"/> <assist> <toolTip>ADMINISTRADORA" quien constituye domicilio legal en calle San Lorenzo 1657 de la ciudad de Rosario, por una parte, y por la</toolTip> </assist> </field> Stuff like "textIndent" didn't exist in AcroForms. If you fill the AcroForm with iText "the AcroForm way", the indentation will be ignored (because it's not present in the AcroForm). iText can fill out pure XFA forms, BUT: iText can't change the properties of an XFA form, nor can iText flatten an XFA form. Changing the properties of fields and/or flatten the form can only be done for AcroForms with iText. You could have know all this if you had read chapter 8 of the second edition of "iText in Action" (the MEAP version). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
