I'm doing some tests with iTextSharp to see it would work to automate a workflow I have. So, I am using Pandoc to generate some pdfs from markdown. But when I generate the files iTextSharp doesn't recognize the fields I have generated. It recognizes the fields in a different pdf I didn't create so I figure it is something that I am doing wrong.

Solution:

I guess I needed the form wrapper around it:

begin{Form}



My field: underline{TextField[name=AField]{}}



end{Form}

So, I start with this code in Test.md:

My field: underline{TextField[name=AField]{}}

If I use this command pandoc -s .Test.md -o Test.tex to generate the tex file I get this result:

... see pre code below if this part of the latex file matter to you



begin{document}



My field: underline{TextField[name=AField]{}}



end{document}

Of course, I use this command pandoc -s .Test.md -o Test.pdf to actually generate the pdf. Should I be using a different command to generate the TextField?

Note: I asked this question over on StackOverflow but it is probably better here.

I guess I needed the form wrapper around it:
