Don't know / never observed this. The only thing I can think of is
related to "submit", I think this was discussed in an earlier answer.

I assume the value of the fields in a form cannot be updated while the
form
is open?
You mean, while the form is displayed in Adobe Reader?

Yeah. That's pretty much what I plan to do.
Just checking my method.
Thanks.

Hi Tilman
My bad. The form already exists.
Is more about filling it out progmatically from the database.
I can use any version of Pdfbox.
Then get the field, and use setValue(). See e.g. the FillFormField
example in the source code download, or the SetField example.
// Retrieve an individual field and set it's value.
PDTextField field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField(
"sampleField" );
field.setValue("Text Entry");
// If a field is nested within the form tree a fully
qualified name
// might be provided to access the field.
field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField(
"fieldsContainer.nestedSampleField" );
field.setValue("Text Entry");

Hi All,
I am looking for a way to get a PDF Form to be partly populated from
a
database.
Is your question how to create a form dynamically, or how to fill an
existing form? What PDFBox version are you using?
Tilman
The database is propriety and I will scrape the data, then use PDFBox
to
generate a copy of the form with some of the fields filled out with
the
relevant information that was previously scraped.
Does anyone see any issues with this?
The environment is XP, and it only has to work across a company LAN.
Regards,
Al
