Hi Kevin,
I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2970
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2970> for that.
In addition you can start playing with that code based on the current PDFBox
2.0.0 snapshot.
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File(...));
PDAcroForm acroForm = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
// Iterate over all form fields and their widgets and create a
// FormXObject at the page content level from that
for (PDField field : acroForm.getFieldTree())
{
for (PDAnnotationWidget widget :
((PDTerminalField)field).getWidgets())
{
PDPage page = widget.getPage();
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true);
I wasn't 100% sure what was meant with "flatten", but now I get it!
I think the first one of the "new PDPageContentStream" should have the
fifth parameter and be true, in case the existing content stream isn't
included in q...Q.

PDFormXObject fieldObject = new
PDFormXObject(widget.getAppearance().getNormalAppearance().getAppearanceStream().getCOSStream());
Matrix translationMatrix = Matrix.getTranslateInstance(widget.getRectangle().getLowerLeftX(), widget.getRectangle().getLowerLeftY());
contentStream.saveGraphicsState();
contentStream.transform(translationMatrix);
contentStream.drawForm(fieldObject);
contentStream.restoreGraphicsState();
contentStream.close();
}
}
// preserve all non widget annotations
for (PDPage page : doc.getPages())
{
List<PDAnnotation> annotations = new ArrayList<PDAnnotation>();
for (PDAnnotation annotation: page.getAnnotations())
{
if (!(annotation instanceof PDAnnotationWidget))
{
annotations.add(annotation);
}
}
page.setAnnotations(annotations);
}
// remove the fields
acroForm.setFields(Collections.<PDField>emptyList());
doc.save(...);
doc.close();

I am trying to refactor for 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT now.
Can someone tell me how to flatten a PDDocument in PDFBox 2 ?
All the examples seem to pertain to v1.x
there are non but I've started to get that into the project

Maruan,
That would be great. Please have a look at:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=9CCA324BE57ADA7!76929&authkey=!A
KE0x0fh5QDkIIw&ithint=file%2czip This should demonstrate the problem
by processing several files.
I took a quick look. Which version of PDFBox are you using? Would it be
possible to go to (the yet to be released) 2.0.0 version?

The users complaint is: Boxes are being greyed out and font sizes are being
changed by the flatten.
My flatten is done by the PDFBoxUtils.flatten() method.
Thanks,

how urgent is it for you? If you could share a sample file and your code for
flattening I could take a look.

I have not been able to successfully flatten a document without affecting the
formatting of the field.
There are some example codes out there but none of them work correctly for me.

Hi Kevin
None of these field values will need to be changed afterward the merge. They
are set to read-only.
I tried flattening the source fields but most of these documents rely on field
annotation for the field value formatting and this is not to be changed.
when a field is flattened correctly the formatting of the annotations visually
representing the field become part of the page content stream. So if you don't
need the fields at all - as there is no further input - you could flatten the
source documents prior to merging them.
