Hi Maruan,
I have tried importing the form using LayerUtility.importPageAsForm(), into the
destination PDF, as follows (sorry, Scala code, but comprehensible).
However, the page is blank.
Is importPageAsForm the right method to import a form?
Cheers,
Philippe

val clonedDocument = new PDDocument
val pDPage = new PDPage(new PDRectangle(612, 792))
clonedDocument.addPage(pDPage)
val aLayerUtility = new LayerUtility(clonedDocument)
val aPDXObjectForm = aLayerUtility.importPageAsForm(templatePDDocument,
0)
clonedDocument.save(pathToClonedFile)
clonedDocument.close
templatePDDocument.close
}
}

so you have only imported the pages but not the AcroForm. If you import the
AcroForm this will only have the fields pointing to the source page. You need
to create new fields from the ones you have with unique names as I assume the
fields on subsequent pages shall have their own content. There is a sample
available at
