Hi,
Is there a way to add form fields to a pdf using PdfStamper? The only thing I
have found is that I can set fields if the field exists in the PdfReader. I
want to add fields though like I can do using PdfWriter. I have tried two
methods to read in a page from a pdf file that has a graphic I made using
Acrobat's pencil tool and add form fields. In the first one below, it doesn't
seem as though I can add them. In the second one, I can add them, but I don't
get the graphic I made using the pencil tool on the template. Any suggestions?
Example 1
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("C:\\approvalSheetTemplate.pdf");
FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream("C:\\approvalSheet.pdf");
PdfStamper outStamper = new PdfStamper(reader, outFile);
outStamper.close();
Example 2
PdfReader reader = new
PdfReader("/com/test/ed/mls/inboard/approvalSheetTemplate.pdf");
int numberOfPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document document = new Document(reader.getPageSize(1));
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.addTemplate(writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1), 0, 0);
fieldName = "test";
rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 750, 26, 765);
TextField testTextField = new TextField(writer, rectangle, fieldName);
testTextField.setText("testText");
writer.addAnnotation(testTextField.getTextField());
Thanks,
Ed
