Hi all,
I've got a PDF form that has a dynamic subform in it. My goal is to
combine an original PDF and the XDP datasets from a submitted form into
a single PDF. This is working just fine. However, if I call
setFormFlattening(true) on the PdfStamper then the dynamic subforms do
not show up. If I don't "flatten" the form then they appear just fine.
Unfortunately flattening is a requirement for what I'm doing. It
appears that other Java libaries (I tried JPedel) do the exact same
thing - they chop off all but the first dynamic subform.
My code looks like:
// XDPDOMParser is an XML parser class that understands the format of XDP
// data. It uses standard Java XML DOM parsing.
FileOutputStream pdfOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
getOutputPdfFileName() );
PdfReader inputReader = new PdfReader( getInputPdfFileName() );
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper( inputReader, pdfOutputStream );
XDPDOMParser inputParser = new XDPDOMParser( getInputXdpFileName() );
XfaForm xfaForm = new XfaForm( pdfStamper.getReader() );
XDPDOMParser xdpParser = new XDPDOMParser( xfaForm.getDomDocument() );
// replace the datasets in the existing PDF with the contents of the XDP
datasets
xdpParser.copyDataSets( inputParser.getDocument() );
xfaForm.setChanged( true );
XfaForm.setXfa( xfaForm, pdfStamper.getReader(), pdfStamper.getWriter() );
// pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true); // if run, chops off the
dynamic subforms after the first
pdfStamper.setFullCompression();
pdfStamper.close();
pdfOutputStream.close();
I can email the PDF I'm using if needed.
Is there anything obviously wrong that you can see?
Environment is Java 1.6.0_13, iText 2.1.7. This is a version 1.6 PDF.
