Strange results after parsing document

Getting the Field Description/Alternate Field Name using C#
Submitted by jtburbine on Tue, 03/08/2011 - 02:45How do I get the Field Description/Tooltip (Alternate Field Name) using a C# (C-Sharp) program?
I found the following FAQ: "How can I add a tooltip to a text field? You need to set the /TU key in the field dictionary with the setUserName() method. This is an alternate name that’s used in place of the actual field name wherever the field is identified in
the UI. This alternate field name will show up when the user moves the mouse pointer over the field."
I need to get the "User Name"? How do I do it?

Combining Muliple PdfOutlines from Individual PDF Documents to Create a New PdfOutline
Submitted by 44gsus on Fri, 03/04/2011 - 17:05I am merging multiple PDF documents into a single PDF. Each of the initial documents may contain a distinct PdfOutline (Bookmark tree) which I need to preserve in the final merged document. Since all of the individual documents are related in content, I would like to create a single contiguous PdfOutline in the merged document. I have accomplished a pseudo-solution by using PdfCopy to add imported pages from each individual document and I also preserve the existing bookmarks by adding them to a master ArrayList> object.
Saving PDF to Client Folder
Submitted by notace on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 03:09I have a web page which contains details of a product. Part of this is a number of options, which the user can select using radio buttons. I want to be able to generate a PDF which summarises the selections made, along with general information from the page (description, pricing etc.) Not all of this data is in form fields, but I think I can pass a memory object back to the server, which can be interrogated to produce the PDF.
Can I generate the PDF and save it to a Folder and filename selected by the user, and which is on the user's PC, rather than somewhere on the server.
Thanks
