After set the value in the acroForm fields, i want to flatten the pdf. so that
there should not be any form fields in my output pdf and when i am writing
acroForm.flatten() it's not working.
Here is my java code:
package com.sdrc.image;
import java.io.File;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDField;
public class PDFBoxLanguageTest {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String formTemplate =
"C:/Users/XXXX/Downloads/CPIS_test_language.pdf";
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(formTemplate));
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
acroForm.setNeedAppearances(true); //need this line for Hindi
if (acroForm != null) {
// Get field names
List<PDField> fieldList = acroForm.getFields();
for (PDField pdField : fieldList) {
if(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName().equals("Text1")){
// Here i am passing a text in "English"
acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("Welcome");
//pdField.setReadOnly(true);// not working
}else if(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName().equals("Text3")){
// Here i am passing a text in "English-Hindi"
acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("Welcome-नमस्ते");
}else{
// Here i am passing a text in "Hindi"
acroForm.getField(pdField.getFullyQualifiedName()).setValue("नमस्ते");
}
}
}
// acroForm.flatten(); // not working
pdfDocument.save("C:/Users/XXXX/Downloads/CPIS_test_languageE.pdf");
// acroForm.flatten(); // not working
pdfDocument.close();
System.out.println("Done");
System.out.println("============================================");
}
}
