Hi!
Hi Lukas,
How do I "flatten" a PDF-form (remove the form-field but keep the
text of the field)?
Jason asked this question already.
(see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pdfbox-users/201009.mbox/%[email protected]%3E)
The answer was this:
a quick way to do this, is to remove the fields from the acrofrom.
For this you just need to get the document catalog, then the
acroform and then remove all fields from this acroform.
The graphical representation is linked with the annotation and stay
in the document.
So I wrote the following code.
I can write some text in the form-field. But I don´t know how to
remove the form-field.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Lukas
[some code]
You will need to get the Fields over the COSDictionary. Try this
code...
PDDocument pdDoc = PDDocument.load(new File("E:\\Form-Test.pdf"));
PDDocumentCatalog pdCatalog = pdDoc.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdCatalog.getAcroForm();
COSDictionary acroFormDict = acroForm.getDictionary();
COSArray fields = acroFormDict.getDictionaryObject("Fields");
fields.clear();
Hope this help.
Best regards
Thomas
