Creating a fillable PDF form with ITextSharp

I have created a PDF file using Acrobat Adobe 8 that contains fillable fields.

Can that be programmed with ITextSharp instead of Adobe?

Note: I am not referring to filling out the PDF with ITextSharp, instead I would like to create the fillable fields on the PDF file using ITextSharp.

Any code would be appreciated.

thank you for your time!

You can create PDFs that contain fillable fields with iText[Sharp], but they won't look as nice as Adobe Acrobat, which is a much better design tool.

By fillable fields, I'm guessing you mean a TextField. Here's a link with some simple example code from the book to get you started. Specifically, take a look at the CreatePdf() and CellLayout() methods, and the iText API if you need more information.
