  private void listfieldnames(string s)     {         try         {             string pdftemplate = @"z:\temp\pdf\passportapplicationform_main_english_v1.0.pdf";             string newfile = @"z:\temp\pdf\passportapplicationform_main_english_v1.0.pdf";             pdfreader pdfreader = new pdfreader(pdftemplate);              (int page = 1; page <= pdfreader.numberofpages; page++)             {                 pdfreader reader = new pdfreader((string)pdftemplate);                 using (pdfstamper stamper = new pdfstamper(reader, new filestream(newfile, filemode.create, fileaccess.readwrite)))                 {                     acrofields form = stamper.acrofields;                     var fieldkeys = form.fields.keys;                     foreach (string fieldkey in fieldkeys)                     {                         //replace address form field custom data                         if (fieldkey.contains("address"))                         {                             form.setfield(fieldkey, s);                         }                         }                     stamper.formflattening = true;                     stamper.close();                  }              }         }

as documented in book itext in action, can't read file , write simultaneously. think of how word works: can't open word document , write directly it. word creates temporary file, writes changes it, replaces original file , throws away temporary file.

you can too:

  • read original file pdfreader,
  • create temporary file pdfstamper, , when you're done,
  • replace original file temporary file.

or:

  • read original file byte[],
  • create pdfreader byte[], and
  • use path original file pdfstamper.

this second option more dangerous, you'll lose original file if causes exception in pdfstamper.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
