Hi all, I'm posting here to ask for a
huge help from you..I need to accomplish a task and I'm having some problems..I
need to implement a method to merge fields in a PDF with forms created in Adobe
Life Cycle.I'll receive the template PDF and a XML to populate the PDF and need
to return the new filled file. The xml is something like this: <?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><form1> <ReportDescription> <body
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/";> <p><span
style="font:Arial bold 12px">Name of the document</span></p> </body>
</ReportDescription> <ReportCode>GEP-DO-PA-XX-000</ReportCode> <Contents>
<UserData> <UserName>Ego ille</UserName>
<UserPhone>Si manu vacuas</UserPhone> <UserNIF>999999999</UserNIF>
</UserData> </Contents></form1> So, I have something like the following:
private MemoryStream GeneratePDF(string m_FormName, XmlDocument oData)
{
PdfReader pdfTemplate;
PdfStamper stamper;
PdfReader tempPDF;
Document doc;
MemoryStream msTemp;
PdfWriter pCopy;
MemoryStream msOutput = new MemoryStream();
pdfTemplate = new PdfReader(m_FormName);
doc = new Document();
pCopy = new PdfCopy(doc, msOutput);
pCopy.AddViewerPreference(PdfName.PICKTRAYBYPDFSIZE, new
PdfBoolean(true));
pCopy.AddViewerPreference(PdfName.PRINTSCALING, PdfName.NONE);
doc.Open();
for (int i = 1; i < pdfTemplate.NumberOfPages + 1; i++)
{
msTemp = new MemoryStream();
pdfTemplate = new PdfReader(m_FormName);
stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfTemplate, msTemp);
// map xml values to pdf form controls (element name = control
name)
foreach (XmlElement oElem in oData.SelectNodes("/form1/*"))
{
stamper.AcroFields.SetField(oElem.Name, oElem.InnerText);
}
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
stamper.Close();
tempPDF = new PdfReader(msTemp.ToArray());
((PdfCopy)pCopy).AddPage(pCopy.GetImportedPage(tempPDF, i));
pCopy.FreeReader(tempPDF);
}
doc.Close();
return msOutput;
} Hope someone can help me. Kind Regards,GV
