And even if you were able to do this, you'd get a PdfDocument object, not a Document object to which you can add objects with Document.add(). Adding content to an existing PDF is done with PdfStamper.getOverContent() and PdfStamper.getUnderContent(). If you want to add Paragraphs, and so on, you need to use ColumnText. -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Many questions posted to this list can (and will) be answered with a reference to the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Please check the keywords list before you ask for examples: http://itextpdf.com/themes/keywords.php
[iText-questions] Reader enabled pdf
Happy New Year! I am trying to create a pdf with some readonly data and some unsigned signatures for external approval. I have read 8.7.1 in the iText in Action book and I am struggling to get around this "Reader Enabled" issue. First off, I am using Seam 2.2 with iText 2.1.2 for this effort. I am extending some of the facelet components to provide the addition of an unsigned signature. Here is what I am attempting to do. Take a "reader enabled" pdf that was created using Acrobat Pro; lets call it what it is: pdf_template.pdf. It is just a blank "reader enabled" pdf file with an empty page. I want to take a copy of the pdf_template.pdf and use the "stamper" in append mode to keep the "reader enabled" sign document/approval features. However, I would still like to add other elements to the document (i.e. paragraphs, etc). It looks like the PdfStamper.getPdfDocument() method is not exposed for me to do this. Any ideas on how I might go about achieving this? Thanks, Keith D.

[iText-questions] reader-enabled PDF for saving form data
Hello, using the "reader-enable" functionality of Adobe 8, it is possible to actually save form input inside the PDF for Adobe Reader users. I've yet not come across to any free tool that supports this functionality. Are there plans to support that from iText?
