button.setBackgroundColor(new com.itextpdf.text.BaseColor(255, 255, 255));
button.setVisibility(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PushbuttonField.VISIBLE_BUT_DOES_NOT_PRINT);
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfFormField submit = button.getField();
submit.setAction(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAction.createSubmitForm("/book/fdf", null, 0));
writer.addAnnotation(submit);
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.TextField file = new com.itextpdf.text.pdf.TextField(writer, new com.itextpdf.text.Rectangle(90, 500, 140, 800), "image");
file.setOptions(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PushbuttonField.FILE_SELECTION);
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfFormField upload = file.getTextField();
upload.setAdditionalActions(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfName.U, com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfAction.javaScript("this.getField('image').browseForFileToSubmit();"+ "this.getField('submit').setFocus();", writer));
