ItextSharp VB Help Needed!

I found this code snippet made with c#

OK, let's say I have a PDF document called "Form.pdf" with 4 form fields. The form fileds are "name", "address", "postal_code" and "email".

Here's the code to create a new PDF file using "Form.pdf" as a template:

private void fillForm()
{
    string formFile = @"N:\.NET\Form.pdf";
    string newFile = @"N:\.NET\Filled-out Form.pdf";
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(formFile);
    PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(
                newFile, FileMode.Create));
    AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;

    // set form fields
    fields.SetField("name", "John Doe");
    fields.SetField("address", "2 Milky Way, London");
    fields.SetField("postal_code", "XX1 4YY");
    fields.SetField("email", "[email protected]");

    // flatten form fields and close document
    stamper.FormFlattening = true;
    stamper.Close();
}

How would I code this in vb???

There are many free C# to VB.Net conversion utility on the net that you can use and don't under estimate the power of Google
Here is the code converted to VB.Net using the developerfusion site
http://www.developerfusion.com/tools.../csharp-to-vb/

Private Sub fillForm()
	Dim formFile As String = "N:\.NET\Form.pdf"
	Dim newFile As String = "N:\.NET\Filled-out Form.pdf"
	Dim reader As New PdfReader(formFile)
	Dim stamper As New PdfStamper(reader, New FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create))
	Dim fields As AcroFields = stamper.AcroFields

	' set form fields
	fields.SetField("name", "John Doe")
	fields.SetField("address", "2 Milky Way, London")
	fields.SetField("postal_code", "XX1 4YY")
	fields.SetField("email", "[email protected]")

	' flatten form fields and close document
	stamper.FormFlattening = True
	stamper.Close()
End Sub

Is it possible to take a pdf, and paste it on top of an existing pdf in the upper right hand corner on the same page.



Basically to make it look like below.

From what you described, it sounded like you need to merge 2 pdf files together. If that is what you need, search in VB.Net codebank for the code to merge 2 or more pdf files.

The question is though, can i merge two documents onto the same page? one on top of the other.
