I'm having the same problem below.
Does anyone has a solution to that ?
My task is to populate fills in an existing pdf file and display it in a pop-up
browser.
For some of the text input field on the pdf, I also need to fill the field
value as a combo box to limit the user to only be able to select from the combo
box.
To display the pop-up browser, I use PdfReader to read the odf file, PdfStamper
to "direct" to a ByteArrayOutputStream, then direct the out put to the browser.
One work around I can think of is to read the original pdf file, create a new
temporary pdf file with the combobox that I needed using PdfWriter. Then use
PdfReader to read the odf file, PdfStamper
to "direct" to a ByteArrayOutputStream, then direct the out put to the browser.
Can anyone suggest a better solution ?
Thanks.
