I am trying to make it simpler. I took this example from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3367390/read-pdf-form-data-using-itextsharp.
        Dim pdfTemplate As String = "my.pdf"
        Dim pdfReader As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(pdfTemplate)
        Dim fields As iTextSharp.text.pdf.AcroFields = pdfReader.AcroFields.Fields
        Dim val As String = fields.GetField("fieldname")
It doesn't give any error. However, if you would take fields, how you would do a For/Each loop with it? I tried various declarations but I cannot find the right one. There has to be a way to scan that collection.
