The code you posted doesn't call any of the doc.save() methods. It also never sets anything in the acroform. What version of PDFBox are you using? When you say it doesn't work, do you mean it throws an exception? Is this only an issue with AcroForm, or with the entire PDF (i.e. Can you make other changes to the PDF and save them properly)? Can you provide all your code and put the PDF online somewhere and send us a link so we can try to duplicate the issue?
I haven't dealt with AcroForms at all, so I'm not sure I can help you, but I can tell you that we'll at least need the code which updates & saves the data before we can help with why it won't update & save. ---- Thanks, Adam From: mathieu fabre <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 08/24/2010 14:09 Subject: Re: need help for stream part in a PDF file No one can help me for this problem ...? 2010/8/13 mathieu fabre <[email protected]> > Hi, > > I recently use the PDFBox librairy and I would like to change the stream > part of an object which is an AcroForm Object (a stream in PDF Form object). > > in the PDF, for example we have this: > * > 83 0 obj<</Subtype/Form > /Length 637 > /Filter[/FlateDecode] > /Name/FRM > /Matrix[1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 -9.21249 -82.235] > /Resources 214 0 R > /Type/XObject > /BBox[0.0 0.0599976 18.425 164.41] > /FormType 1>> > stream > > some stream unreadable... that i want to change with other stream > > endstream > endobj* > > > In the JAVA code, i am able to go to the object with the code : > > // Create the PDF Document > PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(myFile); > > // Extract the catalog > PDDocumentCatalog catalog = doc.getDocumentCatalog(); > > // Retrieve the AcroForm > PDAcroForm acroForm = catalog.getAcroForm(); > > // Retrieve all fields that should be change > List listField = acroForm.getFields(); > Iterator<PDField> it = listField.iterator(); > > // Loop on each field > while(it.hasNext()) > { > // Cast to PDField > PDField field = (PDField)it.next(); > > // Retrive the COSObject containing the stream part > COSDictionary dicoField = (COSDictionary)field.getCOSObject(); > COSDictionary mkField = > (COSDictionary)dicoField.getDictionaryObject(cosName1); > COSDictionary iField = > (COSDictionary)mkField.getDictionaryObject(cosName2); > > // Here, i am on the good object (83 0) and if I print the iField, I > obtain same information as in the PDF file > // But I am not able to have acces to the STREAM part of the > COSObject/COSDictionary > } > > Could you help please ?
