If the field does not exist or is invalid it returns FIELD_TYPE_NONE.
Parameters:
  fieldName - the field name the field type

 String pdfFile = ...;// the pdf file used as template
 ArrayList xfdfFiles = ...;// the xfdf file names
 ArrayList pdfOutFiles = ...;// the output file names, one for each element in xpdfFiles
 HashMap cache = new HashMap();// the appearances cache
 PdfReader originalReader = new PdfReader(pdfFile);
 for (int k = 0; k < xfdfFiles.size(); ++k) {
 PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(originalReader);
 XfdfReader xfdf = new XfdfReader((String)xfdfFiles.get(k));
 PdfStamper stp = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream((String)pdfOutFiles.get(k)));
 AcroFields af = stp.getAcroFields();

• textfont - sets the text font. The value for this entry is a BaseFont.
  
• textcolor - sets the text color. The value for this entry is a java.awt.Color.
  
• textsize - sets the text size. The value for this entry is a Float.
• bgcolor - sets the background color. The value for this entry is a java.awt.Color. If null removes the background.
  
• bordercolor - sets the border color. The value for this entry is a java.awt.Color. If null removes the border.
  

• flags - a set of flags specifying various characteristics of the field's widget annotation. The value of this entry replaces that of the F entry in the form's corresponding annotation dictionary.
  
• setflags - a set of flags to be set (turned on) in the F entry of the form's corresponding widget annotation dictionary. Bits equal to 1 cause the corresponding bits in F to be set to 1.
  
• clrflags - a set of flags to be cleared (turned off) in the F entry of the form's corresponding widget annotation dictionary. Bits equal to 1 cause the corresponding bits in F to be set to 0.
  
• fflags - a set of flags specifying various characteristics of the field. The value of this entry replaces that of the Ff entry in the form's corresponding field dictionary.
  
• setfflags - a set of flags to be set (turned on) in the Ff entry of the form's corresponding field dictionary. Bits equal to 1 cause the corresponding bits in Ff to be set to 1.
  
• clrfflags - a set of flags to be cleared (turned off) in the Ff entry of the form's corresponding field dictionary. Bits equal to 1 cause the corresponding bits in Ff to be set to 0.
  

An example:

 af.setField("ComboBox", "b");
 stp.close();
