Hi.
My task at hand is to change the various field properties like
foreground color, back color, font name etc for the fields of an
existing pdf file.
I understand that there is a method setFieldProperty(...) and
subsequently calling the regenerateField() method for doing the
same. This strategy is working fine but only for a pdf file that's
created using the iText api.
If i attempt to do the same on an existing pdf created using
Acrobat Professional edition 6.0, setFieldProperty returns false
(as if the property name doesn't exist).
Below is a code snippet for doing the same :
try {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader
("c://SamplePDF2.pdf");
PdfStamper stamp1 = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("c://SamplePDF2Filled.pdf"));
AcroFields form1 = stamp1.getAcroFields();
boolean outcome = form1.setFieldProperty
("pdfName","bgcolor",Color.yellow,null);
System.out.println(outcome);
form1.regenerateField("pdfName");
form1.setField("pdfName", "Aprajit");
form1.setField("pdfAge", "23");
stamp1.close();
}
catch (Exception de) {
de.printStackTrace();
}
The field whose property i want to set is pdfName (which is the
name
of field in pdf generated using Acrobat) It is able to set the field
value, but unable to change the field property on an acrobat
generated form.
Please let me know, if somebody could come with a solution.
Thanks and Regards
Sunny
