I am using Acroform and acrofields for this. Below is the program I had written for accomplishing this. When I tried to the no of fields it gave me 0 and it is not changing value of tag. Is this the correct way of reading a template pdf using acroform. If so am I doing wrong any where. Any help on this would be appreciated. import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import com.lowagie.text.*; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*; Import java.util.*; public class EncroachTemplate { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Starting to read pdf template and build new pdf"); try { PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("c:/pdfwriter/General_Encroachment_Test.pdf "); PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("Test.pdf")); AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields(); HashMap formfields = form.getFields(); System.out.println(" No of fields "+formfields.size() ); if(formfields.size>0) //set the field values in the pdf form form.setField("ENCROACHMENT","TEST"); stamp.setFormFlattening(true); stamp.close(); }catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Error: " + e); } } } Thanks ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
