I've modified your code a bit and have a question. I have a single page pdf
with a form (attached as rider_release.pdf). In my database, I have 100's
of entrants (first name, last name, etc..), each of which, need to be
completed on the form in the rider_release file. I am trying to take the
original document, open it, and while looping through my entrants, populate
the form and concatenate to the previous page. So, in the end, I will end
up with a 100+ page pdf, each page containing the same page with the
exception of the form data.
I've attached the concatenatedPDF file so you can reference my output from
the code below. Notice how all pages are empty. The first page still
retained the form, while the other two pages did not.
Please help when you have time.
// begin code
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Document document = null;
PdfCopy writer = null;
// original document (release form for bike riders)
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("c:/temp/rider_release.pdf");
reader.consolidateNamedDestinations();
document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
// my result document of all race waivers concatented
writer = new PdfCopy(document, new
FileOutputStream("c:/temp/concatenatedPDF.pdf"));
writer.setViewerPreferences(PdfWriter.PageModeUseOutlines);
document.open();
// simulate looping through 3 bike riders
int i = 0;
while (i++ < 3) {
reader = new PdfReader("c:/temp/rider_release.pdf");
reader.consolidateNamedDestinations();
ByteArrayOutputStream baosPDF = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// the only way to change the form is with a stamper...?
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, baosPDF);
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setField("Phone", "402-555-1212");
form.setField("EMail", "jdhank...@cox.net");
form.setField("TODAYS DATE", "4/20/2010");
form.setField("Emergency Contact", "Stephanie Mattoon");
form.setField("RACESACTIVITYIES ENTERED", "Men's Open
(CAT1)");
form.setField("City", "Omaha");
form.setField("Name", "Justin Hankins");
form.setField("State", "Nebraska");
form.setField("ANNUAL LICENSE", "123456789");
form.setField("Address", "1620 North 51st");
form.setField("Emergency Contact Phone", "402-555-0558");
form.setField("EVENT DATES", "5/1/2010");
form.setField("RACING AGE as of December 31 2009", "40");
form.setField("Age", "40");
form.setField("CLUBTEAM NAME", "The Wild Hares");
form.setField("Zip", "68104");
form.setField("ChildName", "Justin");
form.setField("EVENT NAME", "Swanson River City Shootout");
PdfImportedPage page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, 1);
writer.addPage(page);
writer.freeReader(reader);
}
document.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// end code
