>Yes that is very much like the situation I had and this worked very well.

I tried that earlier on and was unable to make it work. It seems to be related to the same problem I have in this example:

    ' Get all the fields from a PDF file
    ' expC1 File
    Private Function GetFields(ByVal tcFile As String) As Boolean
        Dim loAcroFields As iTextSharp.text.pdf.AcroFields = Nothing
        Dim loDictionaryEntry As DictionaryEntry = Nothing
        Dim loPdfReader As iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader = Nothing

        ' Get the file
        loPdfReader = New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(tcFile)

        ' Get the fields
        loAcroFields = loPdfReader.AcroFields

        ' For each field
        For Each loDictionaryEntry In loAcroFields.Fields

        Next

        Return True
    End Function

As you can see, this example is very sample. But, the designer doesn't like the loAcroFields.Fields in the For/Next loop. It says:

"Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair(Of String, iTextSharp.text.pdf.AcroFields.Item)' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.DictionaryEntry'."

I also tried with all the imports. This has no effect. In my code, I include the namespace as is where needed.

This is an example I took from http://blog.pagesd.info/post/2008/09/25/Lister-les-champs-d-un-formulaire-PDF.
