Hi, I have a working piece of code that does the following:
1. Read a PDF and fill out the form fields. 2. Create a new document from scratch 3. Read a fix PDF 4. Concatenate the 3 pages and save to file. I don't want to save anything to file but the resulting PDF. I'd like to know if there a any big mistakes. What could be done in a better way. Thanx and greetings Frank // Loading first PDF with form fields into baosFirstPage FileInputStream fisFirstPage = new FileInputStream(SRC_FILE_1); ByteArrayOutputStream baosFirstPage = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfReader readerFirstPage = new PdfReader(fisFirstPage, null); PdfStamper stamperFirstPage = new PdfStamper(readerFirstPage, baosFirstPage); stamperFirstPage.setFormFlattening(true); AcroFields form = stamperFirstPage.getAcroFields(); // Filling form fields setFields(form); stamperFirstPage.close(); // Building 2nd page from scratch into baosProducts Document document = new Document(); ByteArrayOutputStream baosProducts = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baosProducts); document.open(); document.add(new Paragraph("Products")); document.close(); // Loading lastPage into baosLastPage FileInputStream fisLastPage = new FileInputStream(SRC_FILE_2); ByteArrayOutputStream baosLastPage = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfReader readerLastPage = new PdfReader(fisLastPage, null); PdfStamper stamperLastPage = new PdfStamper(readerLastPage, baosLastPage); stamperLastPage.close(); // Concatenating the 3 byte array streams into baosResult; ByteArrayOutputStream baosResult = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfCopyFields copy = new PdfCopyFields(baosResult); copy.addDocument(new PdfReader(baosFirstPage.toByteArray())); copy.addDocument(new PdfReader(baosProducts.toByteArray())); copy.addDocument(new PdfReader(baosLastPage.toByteArray())); copy.close(); // Write result to file PdfReader readerResult = new PdfReader(baosResult.toByteArray()); PdfStamper stamperResult = new PdfStamper(readerResult, new FileOutputStream(DST_FILE)); stamperResult.close(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
