Maruan Sahyoun reassigned PDFBOX-3809: -------------------------------------- Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun > 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: 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7 > Reporter: Cristin Donaher > Assignee: Maruan Sahyoun > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Example of fields that need to enter and the calculated > field from those values.docx, sf270.pdf > > > 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 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
