Re: Adding form fields to a pdf

ok, adding form fields is not supported....
but even if I try to add something else (like a pdf template) it is not 
working because cb (see below ) is null...

any clues?

     PdfReader pdf_reader;
     FileOutputStream pdf_os;
     pdf_reader = new PdfReader(pdf_file);
     pdf_os     = new FileOutputStream(dest_file);
     PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(pdf_reader, pdf_os);

     int nb_pages = pdf_reader.getNumberOfPages();
     for (int i=1;i<=nb_pages;i++) {
       PdfContentByte cb = stamper.getOverContent(i); // <== *cb is here*
       //System.err.println("cb: "+cb);
       //*add smth here!!!*
     }
     stamper.close();
