[iText-questions] Question about concatenate PDF

2002-10-10 Thread Frannie 



Hi, in first instance i must to make my compliments 
for the great package you create.

If i solve my problem, i am seriously thinking 
about a donation (not a great because i am not rich at all).

Just a simple question :
When i use the method illustraded in the Concat 
examples if i have FORM fields in the original PDF they are not copied in the 
result.
I do something wrong? Or i must do something 
different?

I will appreciate an answer

Many regards

No, you aren't doing anything wrong.

iText, currently (until I get my act together and submit my 
patches!), doesn't support real page copying - it simply transfers 
content between documents.

HOWEVER, even once the page copying patches are submitted, 
there are STILL a number of issues present when trying to concat 
documents with form fields - ESPECIALLY if the fields have the same 
names in each documents.   This is one reason why form flattening 
was invented.

There are some commercial products that can do what you want...
