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>Name of the document</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
