This is something that can only be fixed by having access to the machine. It
may be a file access problem or a broken Java install or something else.

Subject: [iText-questions] Stamping on my Windows XP box doesn't copy thepdf
elements.
Suppose my code looks something like this:
PdfReader reader = new Reader("foo.pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
Acrofields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setField("fieldName", "test");
form.setField("fieldName2", "test");
stamp.close();
reader.close();
...
If I compile my app on an XP machine and generate a pdf with the app none of
the form elements will display, and adobe reader says that there are errors
on the form. The fields that I set to 'test' will display; I'll see a
mostly blank pdf form with the words 'test' appearing on the page where you
would expect them to.
I'm not seeing this problem on my Vista, os X, or linux machines only my
Windows XP machine.
If I take the same code and generate the .jar on any of the operating
systems listed above and run it on an XP machine everything works fine. If I
take the .pdf generated by the xp-compiled jar and run it on other platforms
they show the same behavior. I've used in house generated .pdfs as well as
external ones to feed into PdfReader and they're all having the same
problem.
I'm just not sure where to begin looking to solve this, any suggestions
would be most welcome.
