Hello all, I am new to iText and am facing a problem when filling a form. First, the form is created using the example in the online tutorial. It creates a combo box with three values ('Red', 'Green', 'Blue' ). The exact code is in the example: com.lowagie.examples.forms.FormCombo You get the attached form: combo.pdf Then code to select the value from the combo box is written and the form is flattened. PdfReader reader = new PdfReader( 'combo.pdf'); PdfStamper chooser = new PdfStamper( reader, new FileOutputStream('combo _selected.pdf'));
AcroFields fields = chooser.getAcroFields();
fields.setField( 'ACombo', 'Blue' );
chooser.setFormFlattening( true ); chooser.close(); This result is a form with nothing on it: the attached form combo_selected.pdf I checked the mailing lists but couldn't find anything that would explain this behaviour. I tried on both iText 1.5.3 and iText 2.0.4. Thankyou in advance for your time.
