Subject: [iText-questions] Flattening ActivePDF generated form fields.
I'm trying to use iText to flatten PDF's with form fields in them and am
running into trouble when trying to flatten PDF's populated with
ActivePDF's
toolkit.
The original (yet to be populated--but still containing the form fields)
PDF
flattens just fine. It's only after populating it from the toolkit.
Specifically the code is crashing with a NullPointerException on line 725
of
PdfStamperImp.java because objReal in the objReal.isDictionary()call is
null.
Following the code, the reason ObjReal is null is that the call to
appDic.get
(PdfName.N) returns null. So, when objReal is created from PdfReader it
returns null.
After stepping through the code a number of times, I cannot figure out
what is
going on. It appears this section of code is trying to some special
positioning, but I'm no expert.
I can get around this by checking to see if obj is null after the call to
appDic.get(PdfName.N) and skipping the code. It runs and flattens the
form
just fine, however since I don't know what is really going on I assume
it's not
the smartest thing to do.
Any comments?
