Hi All,
With reference to the below thread in march 2006. I would like to know
for the point (1)
(1) Creates pdf forms (editable).
Yes but not rights enabled. --> What this means ??
A Form that is 'rights enabled' is something that can only be created
with Adobe products (Adobe wants to sell products too, you know).
If editable forms can be created using itext , can we fill the forms
Yes.
and save to local
No.
or send the filled pdf
Yes: you can send the data
- as an HTML query string
- in Forms Data Format (FDF)
- as XFDF
- as a filled in PDF document
as email attachment.
I don't think so.
Maybe if you add some JavaScript, but I think it's
a bad idea to use e-mail as a means to submit data.
(A) Geneating Editable PDF form
Possible with iText, but more work that with other products that have a GUI.
(B) Extracting form data from the PDF.
Possible with iText if you have an AcroForm (no XFA).
(C) Importing the data (XML, or CVS, or FlatFile) into the PDF form,
with this the corresponding fields in form will be populated with the
data.
Why XML, CVS or FlatFile if you can use FDF?
It's possible to use iText to import the data as long
as you know how to parse the XML, CVS or FlatFile
into key-value pairs.
I would like to know whether the above functionalities are available
in the itext.If yes pls let us know which API to use for the above
three operations.
With reference to adobe Live Cycle Designer will generate the Editable
PDF forms by importing the xml schemas and adobe have JAVA API for
extraction and merging.
Read the most recent posts about XFA.
You will not find many tools that support forms that are created with
Adobe Live Cycle Designer.
best regards,
Bruno
