I am attempting to do something which seems like it should be simple and straight-forward, yet I've had great difficulty with. I am trying to read an existing PDF document and use the AcroFields component of iText to change some of the data in the fields, then send the result back to the browser as a stream of data. The short program that I have compiles fine, but when I try to load the webform in my browser (either Firefox or IE), I get a 'The file is damaged and could not be repaired' error. I am using C#, iTextSharp, and .NET 2003. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here's the iText-related portion of my code:

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("http://localhost/WebProject1/testForm.pdf";); MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
           PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, stream);
AcroFields acroFields = stamp.AcroFields;
           acroFields.SetField("Employee.firstName", "Martin");
           acroFields.SetField("Control.printOnly", "false");
acroFields.SetField("Control.serverURL", "http://www.myurl.com";);

           Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
           Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", stream.Length.ToString());
           Response.OutputStream.Flush();
Response.OutputStream.Close(); Response.End();
           stamp.Close();
