I have tried the following and it did not do any better, I am still not
getting the data across to my swf that is embedded in the pdf.
TextField tf = new TextField(writer, new Rectangle(1,1,1,1), "Data");
tf.setVisibility(TextField.HIDDEN);
PdfFormField field = null;
try {
field = tf.getTextField();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use
File | Settings | File Templates.
} catch (DocumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use
File | Settings | File Templates.
}
writer.addAnnotation(field);
return table;
Later on I set the xml data using:
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setField("Data", dataString);
stamper.close(); reader.close();
