After finished Batch “Enable for Commenting in Adobe Reader”(Batch ReaderEnable) and Batch “Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader”, As A client’s requirement, I finished Batch “Enable TypeWriter Tool in Adobe Reader”.

P.S.
About TypeWriter Tool,
Adobe has released a free tool called the Typewriter Tool. This feature is included in the latest version the free Acrobat Reader (ver. 7.05) and allows one to enter text into a PDF document. In other words, if you have a PDF document that is a form that you would normally print out and use a typewriter to fill out, then you can simply use this tool to do what you would do with an ordinary typewriter. If you have version 7.0 of Adobe Reader and need to update it click here (Windows) or here (Mac).

This is just a screenshot I developed for a customer from RentAcoder.com, what he want is:

• populate data from XFDF(XML FDF, send by customer after they filled the PDF Form) to PDF Form and Create a new PDF with data.
• Signature the new PDF
• send the new PDF to the customer who send the XFDF data.

It uses iTextSharp.

and I am thinking about release it as a useful product.

btw, it does not support Adobe Designer Form(different with Acrobat Form).

thanks for Robert R. Boerner, he is the first customer of my Batch “Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader”.
it bases on Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0, but it really works and save you much time if you have many PDF Form to convert to let Adobe Reader can fill, comment, digital signature a PDF and save it.

So Robert said”Thank You — Thank You — IT WORKS”.

At the same time, I want to thank Robert too, he help me complete this program.
