I would greatly appreciate any help with this endeavor. I have a document with 3 textboxes and I'm trying to set the value of the 3rd with the sum of the first 2.
My resulting PDF is at http://aapro.net/PDF/actionTestOnChangeElsewhere.pdf. A PDF created is at http://aapro.net/PDF/actionTestAcrobatCalculated.pdf. The two are pretty similar. Perhaps someone can point out what is the significant difference between the two, or the error in my code, below. There is another possibility, that my PDF file is somehow invalid, which makes anything I do inadequate. Anyway, I'll be grateful for any advice. public static void addTextboxAtRect(PDPage page, PDAcroForm acroForm, String name, Map<String, String> optionMap, PDRectangle rect) { System.out.println("addTextboxAtRect(" + name + ", " + rect.toString() + ")"); PDTextField textBox = new PDTextField(acroForm); // Ideally we would make sure each name is unique. String nameStr = name; textBox.setPartialName(nameStr); String tip = optionMap.get("tip"); if ((tip != null) && !tip.isEmpty()) { textBox.setAlternateFieldName(tip); } if (Utils.isTrue(optionMap.get("nospell"))) { textBox.setDoNotSpellCheck(true); } if (Utils.isTrue(optionMap.get("ro"))) { textBox.setReadOnly(true); } if (Utils.isTrue(optionMap.get("req"))) { textBox.setRequired(true); } int maxlen = Utils.getInt(optionMap.get("maxlen")); if (maxlen > -1) { textBox.setMaxLen(maxlen); } String defaultAppearanceString = "/" + Utils.fntStr(optionMap.get("fnt")) + " " + Utils.fszStr(optionMap.get("fsz")) + " Tf " + Utils.hexToRgb(optionMap.get("fclr")) + " rg"; System.out.println("defaultAppearanceString=" + defaultAppearanceString); textBox.setDefaultAppearance(defaultAppearanceString); // add the field to the acroform acroForm.getFields().add(textBox); // Specify the annotation associated with the field PDAnnotationWidget widget = textBox.getWidgets().get(0); widget.setRectangle(rect); if (rect.getHeight() < MIN_RECT_HEIGHT) { float diff = MIN_RECT_HEIGHT - rect.getHeight(); rect.setLowerLeftY((float) (rect.getLowerLeftY() - diff/2.0)); rect.setUpperRightY((float) (rect.getUpperRightY() + diff/2.0)); } widget.setPage(page); COSDictionary apNDict = new COSDictionary(); apNDict.setItem(COSName.BBOX, rect); apNDict.setItem(COSName.FORMTYPE, COSInteger.ONE); apNDict.setItem(COSName.TYPE, COSName.XOBJECT); apNDict.setItem(COSName.SUBTYPE, COSName.FORM); PDAppearanceDictionary appearance = new PDAppearanceDictionary(); PDAppearanceEntry appearanceNEntry = new PDAppearanceEntry(apNDict); appearance.setNormalAppearance(appearanceNEntry); widget.setAppearance(appearance); PDFormFieldAdditionalActions fieldActions = new PDFormFieldAdditionalActions(); PDAnnotationAdditionalActions annotationActions = new PDAnnotationAdditionalActions(); setWidgetActions(optionMap, fieldActions, annotationActions); widget.setActions(annotationActions); PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary fieldAppearance = new PDAppearanceCharacteristicsDictionary(new COSDictionary()); fieldAppearance.setBorderColour(Utils.hexToPDColor(optionMap.get("brdclr"))); fieldAppearance.setBackground(Utils.hexToPDColor(optionMap.get("bclr"))); widget.setAppearanceCharacteristics(fieldAppearance); PDField field = acroForm.getField(nameStr); field.getActions().getCOSObject().addAll(fieldActions.getCOSObject()); // make sure the annotation is visible on screen and paper widget.setPrinted(true); // Add the annotation to the page try { page.getAnnotations().add(widget); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } String dflt = Utils.unescapeChar(optionMap.get("dflt")); if ((dflt != null) && !dflt.isEmpty()) { try { textBox.setValue(dflt); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } private static void setWidgetActions(Map<String, String> optionMap, PDFormFieldAdditionalActions fieldActions, PDAnnotationAdditionalActions annotationActions) { if ((optionMap.get("js") != null) && !optionMap.get("js").isEmpty()) { String[] jsStrings = optionMap.get("js").split("\\|"); String[] evts = optionMap.get("evt").split("\\|"); for (int ix = 0 ; ix < jsStrings.length ; ix++) { String jsString = jsStrings[ix]; String evt = evts[ix]; // jsStrings and evts are assumed to be parallel arrays PDActionJavaScript jsAction = new PDActionJavaScript(); //Creating PDActionJavaScript object jsAction.setAction(Utils.decodeJsString(jsString)); System.out.println(jsAction.getAction()); if ((evt != null) && !evt.isEmpty()) { switch (evt) { case "onCursorEnters": // This refers to the mouse pointer, not the typing cursor. annotationActions.setE(jsAction); break; case "onCursorExits": // This refers to the mouse pointer, not the typing cursor. annotationActions.setX(jsAction); break; case "onFocus": annotationActions.setFo(jsAction); break; case "onBlur": /* * This will set an action to be performed when the annotation loses the input focus.
