I am creating a PDF from another PDF which contains acrofields and getting
following issues:
1.
The acrofields behave strangely because of which the text is shifted
down (sometimes up) to its placement in the created PDFs after the cursor
is placed and clicked in the form field to edit the text. This behavior
does not occur in the original PDF documents.
2.
Now if we make flat pdf from this by setting stamper
.setFormFlattening(true), then text of acrofields are not written at
exact position by small amount which result in overlapping of text if two
acrofields are very close to each other.
The code which i am using is
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.AcroFields;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamper;
String pdfName = "pdfName.pdf";
PdfStamper stamper = null;FileOutputStream fout = null;
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfName);
fout = new FileOutputStream("outputpdf.pdf");
stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, fout);
AcroFields acroFields = stamper.getAcroFields();Map fieldMap =
acroFields.getFields(); Set keys = fieldMap.keySet();
for (Iterator it = keys.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
String fieldName = (String) it.next();
acroFields.setField(fieldName,acroFields.getField(fieldName));}
stamper.setFormFlattening(false);
stamper.close();
I have tried it for the latest version of itext (itext5.4.0).
The PDF which i am using is
