  Hi. Your post is very helpful. I want to ask you, how can I do it to have the pdf updated in real time? I want to show it near to some textboxes. When the user is completing the textboxes, he should see how the fields are fill.

    There is now a problem with leaving them writable. Only PDFs built with the newer reader extensions (later than 6.1 I think) will leave the PDF writable.

  I have a web form that a user fills out and is supposed to create a pdf from that info. I first used itextsharp to create the pdf from scratch and got that to work, but then came across this method. For some reason the pdf does not get created with this method though. Any insight as to why it is not being created?

  Great article. One problem - When trying to complete a government generated PDF form I get the following error : PdfReader not opened with owner password. when trying to create the new PdfStamper. I do not have access to this password. Is there any way around this ?

    I have the same problem. If government supplied a PDF form that can be filled and printed and why the password? I am also stuck at the same issue. How to get the password?
