Back
In adobe professional 8.0, there is a setting called: Enable Usage rights in
adobe reader. This setting allows you to create a pdf document so a person
can enter data into the pdf and save it.

If I populate the pdf document using the setnodetext method below, the
populate method works; however, the document seems to lose the ability for a
user to type in data into the document and resave it.

Here's what I'm trying to do. The code below will populate some basic
fields on a pdf. The pdf will be sent to a user that will add additional
text in the pdf. He will save the pdf with the data he entered; however, the
save option is lost. Any ideas?

Sample code:

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(sourcefilename);

stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, File.Create(base.NewFileName));

AcroFields form = stamp.AcroFields;

XfaForm xfaForm = form.Xfa;

XmlNode internalIdNode;

internalIdNode = xfaForm.FindDatasetsNode("firstname");

xfaForm.SetNodeText(internalIdNode, "john doe");

stamp.FormFlattening = false;
stamp.Close();

Thanks...
