Hello I installed pdfbox-app-1.8.8.jar and I have been able to run any example
codes successfully. I am working on this one and I get "cannot find symbol" on
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDFieldTreeNode;import
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDTextField;
Are these classes in a different jar?
Code:
package org.apache.pdfbox.examples.acroforms;import java.io.File;import
java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDField;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDFieldTreeNode;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDTextField;
public class FillTestField { public static void main(String[] args) throws
IOException { String formTemplate = "Users/Dad/Desktop/TCRM/game plan
12-16.pdf"; String filledForm = "Users/Dad/JavaTest/game plan
12-16.pdf"; // load the document PDDocument pdfDocument
= PDDocument .load(new File(formTemplate),null); // get
the document catalog PDAcroForm acroForm =
pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm(); // as there might
not be an AcroForm entry a null check is necessary if (acroForm !=
null) { // Retrieve an individual field and set it's value.
PDTextField field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField( "Goal" );
field.setValue("Testing"); // If a field is nested
within the form tree a fully qualified name // might be provided to
access the field. field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField(
"fieldsContainer.nestedSampleField" ); field.setValue("Text Entry");
}
// Save and close the filled out form. pdfDocument.save(filledForm);
pdfDocument.close(); }}
