Hi all,
I am using iText5.0.4.jar. I want to merge 2 pdf files and show the
prepoluated data in pdf fields and leave them editable.
Before merge process, I need to get data from the database and populate the
pdf acrofields.
I am getting 2 PdfReader objects for 2 pdf files after populating pdf files
with data.
I am using the below given code for merging pdf files.
=======================================================================
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document pdfDocument = new Document();
//pdfDocument.
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter writer =
PdfWriter.getInstance(pdfDocument,out);
pdfDocument.open();
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
// Holds the PDF
pdfDocument.newPage();
Set> set = readerMap.entrySet();
java.util.Iterator> iter = set.iterator();
Map.Entry entry = null;
int totalPages = 0;
while (iter.hasNext()) {
entry = (Map.Entry) iter.next();
totalPages = entry.getValue().getNumberOfPages();
reader = entry.getValue();
// Importing multiple pages;
for(int i=1;i<=totalPages; i++){
cb.addTemplate(writer.getImportedPage(reader,i), 0,
0);
pdfDocument.newPage();
}
reader.close();
// reset total pages for next reader;
totalPages = 0;
}
pdfDocument.close();
=======================================================================
Now app is opening and merging the 2 pdf files successfully but not showing
any DB data that was populated.
if i use stamper.setFormFlattening(false) then app wont show any
prepopulated data and make all the fields non editable.
if i use stamper.setFormFlattening(true) then app shows the prepopulated
data but make all the fields non editable.
Objective:
I want to show the prepoluated data as well as leave the fields editable for
the end users.
Thanks in advance,
Mahmood
