Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-5007:
----------------------------------------
Well - a dynamic XFA consists basically of a template, data and scripting. An
XFA processor will take that and render it into what you see on screen (using a
supporting viewer). So the resulting document is generated on the fly. E.g. a
template might have a definition for a single data line of a purchase order. No
supplying (or entering) data for multiple lines the XFA processor takes the
data creates a runtime model of the template and the binding result of the data
into what might now be a purchase order with several hundred lines.
What changes are required:
- use a XFA processor to render the XFA together with the data being held into
a PDF document or
- save the Form in Adobe Form Designer into a *static* PDF. You can the merge it
Added note. I'm working a lot with XFA based forms and workflows for customers.
Using the proper software this can be a good technology. But pdfbox is not (and
likely will not) be an XFA processor. For Firefox or others you need to ask the
appropriate projects.
I will be closing the ticket - for further questions please do use the users
mailinglist https://pdfbox.apache.org/mailinglists.html but be aware that -
again - pdfbox can't help.
