| Hi list, I have 2 existing pdf files each containing text fields, an invoice form and a summary form I need to generate a pdf file that consists of a number of invoices and one instance of the summary report. Each of the invoices has to be merged with invoice information from a database. Now, I am able to generate one invoice by doing the following: PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("invoiceForm.pdf"); PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, bos); PdfContentByte contentByte = stamp.getOverContent(1); AcroFields form1 = stamp.getAcroFields(); form1.setField("name", "Birthe Berland"); ... stamp.setFormFlattening(true); stamp.close(); How do I repeat this to generate a pdf file containing a number of invoices and how do I append the summary report to the end of the file? I know the number of invoices. I tried something like, but I am not sure it is the right approach. ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("invoiceForm.pdf"); Document document = null; PdfCopy writer = null; for (int i=0; i<invoiceCount; i++) { if (i == 0) { document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1)); writer = new PdfCopy(document, bos); document.open(); } PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1); writer.addPage(page); PRAcroForm form = reader.getAcroForm(); if (form != null) writer.copyAcroForm(reader); } document.close(); reader = new PdfReader(bos.toByteArray()); ByteArrayOutputStream bos1 = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, bos1); for (int i=0; i<invoiceCount; i++) { PdfContentByte contentByte = stamp.getOverContent(i+1); AcroFields form1 = stamp.getAcroFields(); form1.setField("name", "Birthe Berland"); } stamp.setFormFlattening(true); stamp.close(); I seems that I get a number of pages but they are all copies of the last invoice. I appreciate any help. Birthe |
