Cristin Donaher created PDFBOX-3809:
---------------------------------------
Summary: PDAcroForm.flatten(PDField list, refreshAppearances
boolean) flattens all form fields instead of specified ones.
Key: PDFBOX-3809
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3809
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Reporter: Cristin Donaher
Priority: Minor
Thanks for the excellent PDF library. For my use case I need to flatten a
subset of the AcroForm fields. I was attempting to use the PDAcroForm.flatten
call, passing in my field list. However, after the method is called, all the
fields are gone.
The method itself appears to remove all PDFAnnotationWidgets from each page and
at the end clears the acroform's field set.
Is the javadoc description (This will flatten the specified form fields.) just
misleading? Could a flatten call for a subset of fields be added?
Thanks
