RenderX is pleased to provide a technical white paper with some XML and XSL
samples which are part of a complete, generic framework for creating
modifiable, flowing PDF forms based on XML content and standard XSL
templates. 

Recently RenderX has seen many opportunities arise for creating "dynamic"
forms. We mean dynamic because both the shape and the content of the form
may depend on the actual content.  This paper presents one method used for
generating dynamic forms using RenderX's XEP, an XSL FO formatting engine,
combined with the iText library for PDF manipulation to produce dynamic,
fill-able, custom forms in a high-volume, multi-threaded application.

The white paper is available at
http://www.xportability.com/RenderX/RenderX-iText.htm or a PDF version if
you prefer is at
http://www.xportability.com/RenderX/RenderX-iText-Forms.pdf.

This solution uses the C# port (itextsharp) of the iText Library for
generating form fields in the document. The iText Library is Copyright (C)
