I think I was looking at the wrong place. Try:
PdfReader pdfCoverReader = new PdfReader("C:\\hihi.pdf"); <-- this is the
flattened form
PdfImportedPage pip = _pdfWriter.getImportedPage(pdfCoverReader, 1);
Image foo = Image.getInstance(pip);
foo.setAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
_pdfDocument.add(foo);
_pdfDocument.newPage();

Hi Paolo,
thanks for looking into this. I have attached the original form from LC 7,
the result of the filling and flattening and below is the function that is
used for filling, flattening and appending to the document.
Nevermind my funny namings :-)
If I have time this weekend I will try to reproduce it with a small code
sample.
Thanks for the exellent work.
private void printFolderCoverSheet (com.filenet.wcm.api.Folder folder,
PdfOutline outline, int numDocs){
PdfOutline tmpOutline;
try {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("FolderPrintCoverSheet.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader,
new
FileOutputStream("C:\\hihi.pdf"));
/**
* @todo better naming convention
*/
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
HashMap fields = form.getFields();
String key;
for (Iterator i = fields.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
key = (String) i.next();
// We retrieve a field name from the acro form. Field name is
defined as the last character sequence in the name hierarchy
// which contains a [] at the end
String acroFieldName =
key.substring(key.lastIndexOf(".")+1,key.lastIndexOf("["));
System.out.print(acroFieldName + ": ");
switch (form.getFieldType(key)) {
case AcroFields.FIELD_TYPE_TEXT: // We only look at fields
of type text
try{
form.setField(key, getFolderProperty(folder, acroFieldName));
//getFolderProperty retrieves a property value from the folder with the same
name property as the acro field name
} catch (PropertyNotFoundException pnf){
// Explicitly do nothing when the property is not found.
}
}
}
reader.close();
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
stamper.close();
//Append just created PDF to the output stream
PdfReader pdfCoverReader = new PdfReader("C:\\hihi.pdf");
PdfImportedPage pip = _pdfWriter.getImportedPage(pdfCoverReader, 1);
Image foo = Image.getInstance(pip);
_pdfDocument.add(foo);
_pdfDocument.newPage();
}
catch (DocumentException de) {
System.out.println(de.getMessage());
}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
}

Subject: [iText-questions] Is a flattened form special?
I am using iText 2.0.4 to create a single document out of many document
contained in a DMS repository. This works flawlessly. Some of the documents
in the DMS are already PDF and inclusion of them is no problem.
To separate the documents I insert a cover sheet with some information about
the following document (date created, owner , whathaveyou) and use a static
PDF form (created in LC Designer 7) to fill in the fields.
Then I flatten the single page form and want to include it in my output
stream. The same code that works with other PDFs gives me an empty page and
absolutely no error.
This is the absolutely trivial code snippet which I basically copied from
'iText in Action' which I'm a proud owner of.
PdfReader pdfCoverReader = new PdfReader("C:\\hihi.pdf"); <-- this is the
flattened form
PdfImportedPage pip = _pdfWriter.getImportedPage(pdfCoverReader, 1);
Image foo = Image.getInstance(pip);
_pdfDocument.add(foo);
_pdfDocument.newPage();
Since this works in other places, this makes me wonder if there is something
special about the flattened forms.
