Hi,
I've successfully filled AcroForm fields in a template I created with a
stand-alone application and now I'm trying to do the same via a web application
(using Spring).
According to the output messages I get, the template is successfully accessed,
the code can check the presence of AcroForm fields in the PDF but using the
same code as in the stand-alone application, I get as output the template (same
size and all) but the fields are not filled, and I have no idea why it is not
working?
I'm due to give this part of the project back in a couple of hours and I'm
struggling since quite some time now. Can someone know what's wrong?
In the book (iText in Action), the examples with servlet do not contain the use
of templates to generate the PDF.
Here is the code I'm using:
private static void fillForm(String filename, CustomerData data,
OutputStream out) throws IOException, DocumentException, ParseException {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(filename);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
Date date = new Date();
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setField("date", FORMATTER.format(date));
form.setField("companyAddress", data.getCustomerName());
form.setField("customer", data.getCustomer());
stamper.setFormFlattening(data.isFlatten());
stamper.close();
}
I even tried this
public static String test(String templateSource, String pdfView,
ITextRaupeDealer raupeDealer) throws IOException, DocumentException,
ParseException {
String outputPDFTemp = tempFolder + File.pathSeparator + pdfView + "_"
+ raupeDealer.getCustomer().getId() + ".pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(templateSource);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, baos);
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
Date date = new Date();
Set<String> keys = form.getFields().keySet();
for (String string : keys) {
System.out.println("Key found: " + string);
}
form.setField("date", FORMATTER.format(date));
form.setField("companyAddress", "Test");
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
stamper.close();
return outputPDFTemp;
}
But to no avail.
Thanks.
Daniel W.
