Hi Tilman
My bad. The form already exists.
Is more about filling it out progmatically from the database.
I can use any version of Pdfbox.
Then get the field, and use setValue(). See e.g. the FillFormField
example in the source code download, or the SetField example.
// Retrieve an individual field and set it's value.
PDTextField field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField(
"sampleField" );
field.setValue("Text Entry");
// 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");

Al

Hi All,
I am looking for a way to get a PDF Form to be partly populated from a
database.
Is your question how to create a form dynamically, or how to fill an
existing form? What PDFBox version are you using?
Tilman
The database is propriety and I will scrape the data, then use PDFBox to
generate a copy of the form with some of the fields filled out with the
relevant information that was previously scraped.
Does anyone see any issues with this?
The environment is XP, and it only has to work across a company LAN.
Regards,
Al
