It sounds like you're trying to do things that would require both PdfCopyFields and PdfStamper, in which case you'll have to make multiple passes on each document.
Little Known Fact: All the fields in a PDF form with the same name HAVE THE SAME VALUE. If two different forms have a field called "First Name", the combined PDF will have a single value in those two fields. It's very hard to combine forms (particularly multiple copies of the same form) in PDF without flattening their fields. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com #include <disclaimer> typedef std::Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard; > -----Original Message----- > From: luy [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 1:50 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] PDF merge with some fields > still editable > > > > Is is possible that pdf1, pdf2... pdfN to be merged into > pdf_merge.pdf and at > the same time, > > pdf1.editable fields are still editable? > > It seems that when all pdf files are merged, editable fields > are flattened? > Each pdf1... pdf2 are pdf files generated with partialFormFlattening > > <pre> > Tried many ways but still cannot generated the merged pdf > file with fields > in each pdf file is still editable. > > Need help about how itext do this: > > pdf1: 2 fields are flattened; 5 fields are editable > pdf2: 3 fields are flattened; 4 fields are editable > ... > pdfN: 1 field is flattened; 6 fields are editable > > result.pdf (merging pdf1, pdf2.... pdfN) > pdf1: still 2 fields flattened; 5 editable fields > pdf2: still 3 fields flattened; 4 editable fields > ... ... > > </pre> > > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/PDF-merge-with-some-fields-still-editabl e-tp26015529p26016955.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
