I am populating an AcroFields form dynamically in a Java Servlet.
It's almost perfect. The problem area is the
VISIBLE_BUT_DOES_NOT_PRINT option is lost in the process. The
original pdf "template" has a PushbuttonField name "Edit". What I am
doing is getting the "Edit" button and setting the url I want to
associate with the button so the user may edit the contents of the pdf
on a jsp page. This works fine. The problem is that the button
prints after I use the iText magic. He is the code I am using. The
form variable is the instance of AcroFields passed in to the method
that has the code below.
PushbuttonField pushbuttonField = form.getNewPushbuttonFromField("Edit");
PdfFormField editFormField = pushbuttonField.getField();
editFormField.setAction(PdfAction.createSubmitForm(
request.getContextPath() + "/someurl",
null,
PdfAction.SUBMIT_HTML_FORMAT));
form.replacePushbuttonField("Edit", editFormField);
