Hello,
I am trying to use IText to populate a PDF form. I am able to
accomplish this as expected however when closing the PDFStamper, I receive the
"[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog." error. This started
occurring when I modified a PDF Form. Previously the form had more fields to
fill but I needed to change the field names or add new fields. Either way I
tried to accomplish this resulted in that error. I am able to edit the actual
PDF text but I am not able to edit the form fields or add form fields.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
try
{
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(this.getTemplateFullFile());
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new
FileOutputStream(this.getFilledFullFile()));
AcroFields pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(false);
for (int i=0; i<pdfValues.size(); i++){
ArrayList tempArray = pdfValues.get(i);
String tArray0 = tempArray.get(0).toString();
String tArray1 = tempArray.get(1).toString();
if (tempArray.get(0).toString().equals("rbField") &&
!tempArray.get(0).toString().equals("1") &&
!tempArray.get(0).toString().equals("2")){
this.setPeriodic(true);
}else{
try{
if (tArray0.contains("ddress")){
pdfFormFields.setField(tArray0, tArray1);
}else{
pdfFormFields.setField(tArray0, tArray1);
}
}
catch(IOException e){e.printStackTrace();}
catch(DocumentException e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true);
try{
pdfStamper.close();
pdfReader.close();
}
catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}
catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("\n\nPDFReader Problem: "+e.getMessage()+"\n\n");
}
