I created a pdf in adobe acrobat, from a webpage. I then added additional fields, that I intend to replace with regular content.

I used itextsharp, which seems to work, with the exception you cant format the text as RTF if you wanted to.
I was hoping since pdfsharp appears to be a much more organized project it may be able to do that.

In itextsharp you can make the field readonly and then change the value. It works great. Is there a reason why this library cant work the same way?

The field itself is comprised of richtext, but appears to just render as such (the field is marked as allows RTF. Can I not spit text into that from rich text of sorts as it is?

Is this project still a work in progress? If it is, I'd like to contribute where I can to help speed up development. Seems to be REAL well rounded but some features appear to be missing.

We don't need AcroForms in our applications.

Does PDFsharp support AcroForms?ΒΆ
There is limited support for AcroForms included with PDFsharp 1.30.

Feel free to improve AcroForms in PDFsharp.
We won't do it in the forseeable future.

Thats fine... I'd be MORE than happy to contribute in that dept, looks like you all have a decent start on it.

Just to make sure I am not barking up the wrong tree here... is there another concieveable way to open an existing pdf, render a block of text in a specified location and write it out?

Thank you.
