> Subject: [iText-questions] Concatenating multiple PdfForms!! URGENT!!
>
>
> Hi all,
>
> I have multiple PDF Forms created using Adobe Live Cycle manager. The
> requirement is to read the forms, stamp the form with the
> user provided
> values. And then concatenate the forms to build a single pdf.
> In some of my forms I have a text field, which can flow to
> next page. For
> this I have set flowed as the subform property and the text
> field's Y-axis
> expand to fit as true.
> I tried two approaches:
>
> Approach 1: Using PdfCopyFields
> 1. I create a PdfReader and PdfStamper to read and stamp the forms.
> 2. Create an instance of PdfCopyFields(FileoutputStrem fos)
> 3. Keep calling PdfCopyFields.addDocument(PdfReader) for each form's
> PdfReader
> 4. Close the PdfCopyFields
> When I am doing this, the TextField within flowed form and
> whose Y-axis
> expand to fit is set does not exapnd to next page. Instead
> the text field is
> shown within the first page with a + mark.
>
> Approach 2: Programmatically reading and adding fields
> 1. Create a PDFWriter on the output file.
> 2. Read and stamp the forms and return all the fields (using
> AcroForm.getFields())
> 3. Read each field's position and other details like field
> name and value,
> create the same element in the output PdfWriter
> In this approach I need to manipulate and calculate the
> coordinaties of each
> of the field, as the positions of each field in the output pdf will be
> relative to its previously added field (which could be from a
> different
> form).
> Here also I see the same problem, where in the text field
> does not flow to
> the next page, instead it shows some lines and then shows a + mark.
>
> Please let me know if you have any idea on this or have
> implemented this
> kind of requirement in your projects.
