Hi everyone,
[I sent this earlier this week but didn't see it come through - sorry
if others get it twice]
I'm currently trying to get my head around acrobat 7, and am finding
that if I take a pdf (with a form) that works fine, and edit it in
acrobat 7 (without changing anything in the form) and save it, I can
no longer find the form fields.
Upon further investigation, I find that my field names are now
prefixed with "F[0].P1[0]." and suffixed with "[0]", which I assume
means "form 1 page 1" or something similar. The problem is, that when
I change my field names in the code to match these, I still can't set
the fields (despite setField returning true).
Here's the code I'm using:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(".....");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("....");
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, fos);
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
Map fields = form.getFields();
for (Iterator iterator = fields.entrySet().iterator();
iterator.hasNext();)
{
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iterator.next();
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " => " + entry.getValue());
}
String name = "F[0].P1[0].salesPersonName[0]";
String salesPersonField = form.getField(name);
System.out.println("salesPersonField = " + salesPersonField);
boolean fieldSet = form.setField(name, "dim", "dim");
System.out.println("fieldSet = " + fieldSet);
stamp.close();
fos.flush();
fos.close();
the output of this is:
F[0].P1[0].salesPersonName[0] => [EMAIL PROTECTED]
....
salesPersonField =
fieldSet = true
(trimmed).
Any ideas on what I need to do to set these fields, or is it just not
possible to use 1.6 PDFs with forms?
cheers
