Setting field values and locking fields in iText

  • Follow


I'm looking at iText (1.02b) to see if I can use it for taking an
existing "open" PDF document, read it in, set one or more field
values, "lock" specific fields, and then output the document to a
browser.

It's the "lock" functionality that I don't see.  I can do everything
else.  I noticed that the Acrobat GUI has the ability to lock fields,
but I don't see that in the iText API.

I like to "flatten" form fields with PdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true). 
  The latest version of iText-paulo flattens only select fields, though 
I haven't tested it yet:
