Hi

I m doing in the following way:

  String key;
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("C:\\src\\EditPdf\\IPC-1752-1_v1.02.pdf");
    AcroFields form = reader.getAcroFields();
    HashMap fields = form.getFields();
    for (Iterator i = fields.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
       key = (String) i.next();
       System.out.println(key);
    }

after this I am inserting the values like this:

try {
       PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("C:\\stamped.pdf"));
       stamp.getAcroFields();
       //set the field values in the pdf form
       form.setField("MCD[0].RoHSpage1[0].RequestInformation[0].RequestCompanyName[0]", "Rahul Gupta");
       stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
       stamp.close();}
   
    catch(Exception e) {
       System.out.println("Error: " + e);
    }

But now also its giving me the the same error.

sorry for such simple question, as I am not so expert in java.

Thanks
Rahul

Use PdfStamper.getAcroFields().
