Hi,
Wonder if someone can help...
I'm generating some individual PDF pages using Adobe LiveCycle DS by
creating template PDF files using LiveCycle Designer and then binding an
XML dataset to the document to create a data-populated PDF.
I then want to concatenate the pages together - but when I try to do this
using iText, only static text shows on each page, except for the final
page.
I try merging the pages by hand using Acrobat and I get an error that says
"Adobe XML Forms Cannot be Merged". When I use Acrobat to assemble the
files into a PDF package, it's all good.
So I'm guessing that iText is having the same problem - that it's trying
to do a basic merging of the files but in fact I need it to assemble a
package...
Can iText do this?
I'm currently using pdfCopyFields to merge the files.
Incidentally, when I look at the version of the resulting PDF file that
iText creates, it's PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat V5). The source files are PDF
Version 1.7 (Acrobat V8). I tried using the 'Version' parameter with
pdfCopyFields, setting it to '8' but it gets ignored - guess I'm doing
that wrong!
Is it possible to somehow 'flatten' the individual PDF files so that they
are no longer form-based PDF's? I really don't need them to be, once they
have the data inside. If I could do this, I think the problem is solved.
Anyway, to summarize... is iText able to accomplish the concatenation I'm
attempting? If so, how... if not then does anyone have any thoughts on
what other product I might try?
Thanks for your time and patience ;-)
Cheers,
Jamie.
