Thank you, Mark. I tried setting the acroFields.setGenerateAppearances(false) resulting nothing being displayed on the form.
Please find the code snippet below ( you may please refer to one of the examples available @ http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=157) public void manipulatePdf(String src, String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException { PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src); PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream(dest)); stamper.setFormFlattening(true); AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields(); form.setGenerateAppearances(false); form.setField("text_1", "<strong>Bruno Lowagie</strong>"); form.setFieldProperty("text_2", "bordercolor", BaseColor.RED, null); form.setField("text_2", "bruno"); stamper.close(); } My understanding is that just setting the GenerateAppearances to false is throwing away the field appearances. > 2a. That means you cannot flatten a rich value within iText without > opening AND SAVING the PDF in acrobat (or reader if its been Reader > Enabled) first. Can you please elaborate a bit more on this.
