--------------------------------------
Summary: Javascript actions on form fields cause data to become
hidden
Key: PDFBOX-3393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3393
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Scott Coldwell
We have run across numerous PDFs that contain javascript actions on some of the
form fields. When trying to set a value for the field, the data is there in
the field, but only visible if you place the cursor in the field. And since we
flatten forms before saving them, it looks as if the data was never populated.
Some of the actions we've seen are like the following:
AFDate_KeystrokeEx("mm/dd/yyyy")
AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 0, 0, 0, "", true);
As a workaround we are remove any actions associated with a field before
setting a value by doing the following:
{code}
final PDField field = form.getField(fieldName);
if (field instanceof PDTerminalField)
{
// Need to clear any actions (typically javascript) from the fields
((PDTerminalField)field).setActions(null);
}
{code}
