Could you add a sample PDF and the list of fields you'd like to get flattened to

• PDFBOX-3809

I'll look to get something done but that's based on the requirements that all 
fields and their annotations need to be properly defined i.e. have the pages 
they relate to set etc.

The stackoverflow link you provided has an example code. Does that work
for you?

Please note that at this point in time you can not fill out a form
which contains Reader Extensions i.e. you need to reaply these after
you've filled out the form or they will be deactivated.

Fill XFA pdf using PDFBox

[Kush Patel]

Hello apache,


I'm new to PDFBox library. I want to fill an XFA pdf by extracting the fields 
and setting their corresponding value. I did a basic research and came across 
this 
(https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pdfbox-users/201409.mbox/%3c420ecc47-637a-4abf-9544-e0eadeaed...@fileaffairs.de%3E
 and https://stackoverflow.com/a/21169130/8603014).


Also, I did not find any example for filling an XFA pdf on the SVN repository 
for PDFBox 
(https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/).


Can you please provide a simple example to do the aforementioned task?


Many thanks,

Kush
