Hi,
I need to create a new PDF from an existing
PDF that contains PDF form. I need to fill the data into the form dynamically.
The code creates a new PDF nicely. but
when i open the new file with PDF reader ( i am using acrobat reader
7.0), i get the following error
"Wrong type parameter supplied
to a PDS procedure."
After this error the document opens
up with filled in data. Now, when i print the file, PDF reader crashes.
I am using iText 1.4.
The code that i am using is:-
/**
*
Fills data into an existing pdf form.
*
@param fileToRead The Pdf file to be filled.
*
@param fileToWrite The Pdf file to be created.
*
@param formData HashMap containing field names and values.
*/
public
static void fillPdfForm(String fileToRead,String fileToWrite,HashMap formData)
{
try
{
PdfReader
reader = new PdfReader(fileToRead);
PdfStamper stamp1 = new PdfStamper(reader,
new FileOutputStream(fileToWrite));
stamp1.setEncryption(true,null,null,PdfWriter.AllowPrinting);
AcroFields form2=stamp1.getAcroFields();
HashMap fields = form2.getFields();
Set keys = formData.keySet();
for(Iterator i =keys.iterator();i.hasNext();)
{
String
key = (String)i.next();
System.out.println("key
=" + key);
if(fields.containsKey(key))
{
String value = (String)formData.get(key);
System.out.println("value =" + value);
form2.setField(key,value,value);
}
}
stamp1.setFormFlattening(true);
stamp1.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
