Re: Reading a Stream reported as EmbeddedFile
Hi Andreas, maybe I should have been clearer in my question. What I' trying to do is reading the XFA part of a form, where the XFA is part of an array COSString{xdp:xdp} COSObject{61, 0} COSString{config} COSObject{4, 0} COSString{template} COSObject{5, 0} COSString{datasets} COSObject{62, 0} COSString{localeSet} COSObject{7, 0} COSString{xmpmeta} COSObject{8, 0} COSString{xfdf} COSObject{9, 0} COSString{form} COSObject{63, 0} COSString{} COSObject{64, 0} Now the array acts as as key value pair where the odd entry is the key (e.g. xdp:xdp) and the even part is the content of this subsection of the XFA. In my sample the content of is contained in <62,0>. Now this is a stream with the following dictionary COSDictionary{(COSName{Filter}:COSArray{[COSName{FlateDecode}]}) (COSName{Length}:COSInt{477}) (COSName{Type}:COSName{EmbeddedFile}) } And this is what I'm trying to read. The other possible implementation for an XFA form is that the content is not splitted into individual parts contained in an array but the whole XFA is contained in a single stream. Plan is to provide a patch to extract the XFA and in another stage to replace the XFA with new content so people using pdfbox can extract data from XFA forms and prepopulate XFA forms using pdfbox.
