Hi,
I have a PDF form in Chinese and have a requirement to prepopulate some of
the fields and set them as read-only. The PDF form uses font STSong-Light,
UniGB-UCS2-H. I have included the itext-asian.jar in the classpath for the
same. I am able to prepulate the field and set it as read-only. However, on
the resulting PDF, once the user clicks on any of the pre-populated
readonly field, he is no longer able to enter chinese characters in any of
the fields. The chinese character input works just fine, till the time the
pre-populated read only field is not clicked. The problem also does not
occur if the pre-populate field is left as editable. Only for read-only
fields the problem occurs. I have tried setting form.setGenerateAppearances
(false); but that does not help.
Also, is there a way to disable the clicking on a particular field. I am
just guessing that if I am able to disable the user from clicking on the
read-only field the problem won't occur.
Would really appreciate if someone could help with a solution for the above
problem. Please find my code snippet below:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
FileInputStream pdf_fis = new FileInputStream("C:/Documents and
Settings/My Documents/China.pdf");
FileOutputStream pdf_fos = new FileOutputStream("C:/Documents
and Settings/Filled_China_NEW.pdf");
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdf_fis);
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader, pdf_fos);
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setGenerateAppearances(false);
form.setField("Text2", "Test Value");
form.setFieldProperty(fieldname, "setfflags",PdfFormField.
FF_READ_ONLY, null);
stamp.close();
}
catch(Exception de)
{
de.printStackTrace();
}
}
Thanks.
