Hello, I am reading a PDF which has editable fields and which can be edited by opening it through Adobe Reader. I am using PDFBox to generate an output PDF with data filled for the fields in input PDF. The output PDF can be opened using Adobe Reader and I am able to see the field values but I am unable to edit those fields directly from Adobe reader.
There is also a JIRA ticket : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1121 Can anybody please tell me if this got resolved? Also, if possible please answer the following questions. 1. Is there any protection policy or access permission that I need to explicitly set in order to edit the output PDF from Adobe reader? 2. When i try to write/overwrite data present in the output PDF acro form fields using PdfBox. The API is able to get the list of all fields from the acrofields and programmatically I am able to see those values are being set to the respective fields. When I open the output PDF though, the values are not there. I see the old values. Could you please let me know if this a known issue/behavior with PdfBox? 3. Every time I open the PDF that was written to using pdfbox APIs, I get this message prompt: " The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer avalable...." I am using PdfBox 1.8.6 jar and Adobe reader 11.0.8. I would really appreciate if anybody could help me with this issue. Thanks, Balaji
