Hi Gilad, I have run the code again with a former 2.0 release candidate of PDFBox. The sample code and the sample PDF along with an XFDF can be downloaded from here: http://www.stolli.de/downloads/xfdf/gilad.zip
You simply compile the class and run it with 3 arguments (the first 2 files are part of the ZIP, the third one generates the PDF with the stamped XFDF in it) Multipage_Sample_PDFA.pdf Multipage_Sample_annots_freetext.xfdf testoutput.pdf The code runs with any PDFBox version, but the very old 1.8.10 version I used to use when I filed the JIRA did not print the text in correct color (and had other XFDF errors). The more recent PDFBox versions all do the job. Please let me know how it works. Cheers, Matthias -----Original Message----- From: Gilad Denneboom [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Freitag, 23.

Because I tried it with 2.0.6, 2.0.0 and 1.8.13 and the results were pretty much the same in all of them.
