so you have only imported the pages but not the AcroForm. If you import the AcroForm this will only have the fields pointing to the source page. You need to create new fields from the ones you have with unique names as I assume the fields on subsequent pages shall have their own content. There is a sample available at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29371129/java-pdfbox-fill-out-pdf-form-append-it-to-pddocument-and-repeat/29417945#29417945 <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29371129/java-pdfbox-fill-out-pdf-form-append-it-to-pddocument-and-repeat/29417945#29417945> BR Maruan > > > ----- Mail original ----- > De: "Maruan Sahyoun" <[email protected]> > À: [email protected] > Envoyé: Mardi 21 Avril 2015 14:53:48 > Objet: Re: Filling out PDPage forms > > Hi, > >> Am 21.04.2015 um 12:35 schrieb [email protected]: >> >> >> The source PDF contains a form which I need to make multiple copies of, in >> the destination PDF. >> >> I have adapted code found on Stack Overflow to retrieve the source PDF's >> first page: >> >> PDPage firstPage = (PDPage) >> templatePDDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(0); >> ... >> >> and then to import it into the destination PDF: >> >> PDPage clonedPDPage = clonedDocument.importPage(firstPage); >> ... >> >> The destination PDF now contains several copies of the form. >> >> I now need to fill out the forms with data from a CSV file. >> >> How do I retrieve each page's form field, given that there's no >> PDPage.getAcroForm() function? > > AcroForms are not page related as a field can appear on multiple pages.
