Shadrack created PDFBOX-3837:
--------------------------------
Summary: PDFBox does not maintain the font appearence of a field
if it appears severraly in a PDF Form
Key: PDFBOX-3837
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3837
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: AcroForm
Affects Versions: 2.0.5
Environment: java web application running on ubutnu 14 and windows 10.
Reporter: Shadrack
Attachments: countycode.pdf
I have 5 fields with same name(lets say 'wcode') in different places on a one
page pdf form. This fields have different fonts. Normally when you fill out one
field manually the other fields automatically pick the sames value, the same
this happens when I fill it using PDFbox except that PDFBox changes all my 5
fields to have same font as the first field to appear in the pdf form.
Here is the code used to fill the field.
PDDocument _pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(originalPdf))
PDAcroForm acroForm = _pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
PDTextField myCodeField = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField("wcode");
if (myCodeField != null) {
myCodeField .setValue(my.getCode());
}
//Refresh layout && Flatten the document
acroForm.refreshAppearances();
acroForm.flatten();
_pdfDocument.save(outputFile);
I added
acroForm.refreshAppearances();
after some research but that did not change anything.
So if the first 'wcode' field to appear on the pdf form is 6pt all the other
'wcode' fields in the rest the pdf will be 6pt even if I had set them in
appearance properties to 12pt.
On the attached pdf the affected field is called CountyCode
