Hello,
we want to create a pdf-document containing form elements like textbox or
checkbox. Unfortunately in the pdf-output of our test programm the form
elements are not visible. Just a blank page is produced. Can you tell us, what
we are missing or doing wrong. We are using pdfbox 1.8.4. Our source code is:
PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage(page);
PDAcroForm acroForm = new PDAcroForm(doc);
doc.getDocumentCatalog().setAcroForm(acroForm);
COSDictionary dictionary = new COSDictionary();
COSArray rect = new COSArray();
rect.add(new COSFloat(10f)); // lower x boundary
rect.add(new COSFloat(10f)); // lower y boundary
rect.add(new COSFloat(200f)); // upper x boundary
rect.add(new COSFloat(100f)); // upper y boundary
dictionary.setItem(COSName.RECT, rect);
dictionary.setItem(COSName.FT, COSName.getPDFName("Tx")); // Field Type Text
// Type
dictionary.setItem(COSName.TYPE, COSName.ANNOT);
dictionary.setItem(COSName.SUBTYPE, COSName.getPDFName("Widget"));
dictionary.setItem(COSName.T, new COSString("yourFieldName"));
PDTextbox textBox = new PDTextbox(acroForm, dictionary);
acroForm.getFields().add(textBox);
page.getAnnotations().add(textBox.getWidget());
doc.save("c:/temp/checkbox.pdf");
doc.close();
Your help would be much appreciated,
