Hi!

I'm using itextsharp to generate the PDFs, but I need to change some text dynamically. I know that it's possible to change if there's any AcroField, but my PDF doen's have any of it. It just has some pure texts and I need to change some of them.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks in advance!
