Adobe has a class called the FDF toolkit that you can use (Sun uses it for
the J2SE 1.3 and JSDK 2.3 documentation).
You have to add it to the classpath. They have a couple of examples on
their web site.
The command to set a value is:
doc.SetValue("A157","NEW BRUNSWICK",false);
The "A157" is a named field.
"New Brunswick" is the value.
false is a flag.
// define
import com.adobe.fdf.*;
// initialize
private FDFTK THE_FDFTK;
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
super.init(config);
THE_FDFTK = new FDFTK();
THE_FDFTK.FDFTKInit();
then you do something like this:
public void toPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
FDFDoc doc = new FDFDoc();
doc.SetFile("http://localhost/SF86Form.pdf";);
doc.SetValue("A157","NEW BRUNSWICK",false);
} catch (FDFException e) {
/*PrintWriter toClient = res.getWriter();
toClient.println("Caught FDF exception");
toClient.println(e.toString());
toClient.close();
*/
}
