Subject: [iText-questions] Urgent: Not able to set value to the form field
Hi,
I have form with fields and want to fill data from DB.I have the following
code, but when I read the new create pdf form, the field doesn't show the
value that I put it.
This code create an identical pdf file as the original, but the field name
is still in blank.
I went through the mailing list and still could not find the solution.

public class PDFServlet
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("Application.pdf");
PdfDictionary acro =
(PdfDictionary)PdfReader.getPdfObject(reader.getCatalog().get(PdfName.ACROFO
RM));
if(acro !=null)
{
acro.remove(new PdfName("XFA"));
System.out.println("Read2");
}
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("aNewPDF.pdf"));
stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
AcroFields af = stamp.getAcroFields();
HashMap f = new HashMap();
f = af.getFields();
System.out.println(" No of fields "+f.size() );//ALWAYS SHOWS '0' on my
console
for (Iterator it = f.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext();)
{
System.out.println("in the loop");
String name = (String)it.next();
System.out.println("Field is " + name);
af.setField(name,"1234");
}
//stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
stamp.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception is -->"+e);
}
}
}
