Back
Paulo,
Thanks for your help. Rather than clog the mailboxes of every iText
mailing list user I put a sample at
http://www.xigole.com/scott/itext/pdf1.7issue.zip to download (1.4Mb).
This file contains roughly the source I'm using and shows that only
Acrobat 8 dynamic files have a problem but Acrobat 7 static and dynamic
and Acrobat 8 static work.
The file contains a sample XDP (my "source" data), 4 PDF's (7 and 8
static and dynamic), the source code (single Java file) and a build
file. Once built run either the batch or shell script to generate 4
different PDF's from the source PDF's. If there is anything I can do to
assist this effort I would be happy to do so. I am reading the
generated PDF with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 Professional.
Thanks again for any help.

Subject: [iText-questions] Pdf 1.7 and merging XFA data
Hello,
I've got a version 1.7 PDF that I'm trying to get the
AcroFields out of,
merge XFA data into it, and save it. If I save the PDF as an
Acrobat 7
(static or dynamic) PDF in LiveCycle Designer 8.0 I can merge
fine. If
I save it as an Acrobat 8 PDF the result from
PdfStamper.getAcroFields()
seems to be empty and my resulting PDF does not have the any of the
fields filled in.
Is this an existing limitation of iText and PDF version 1.7 or should
the code look different? Thanks very much for any help.
The code:
// inputDataElement is the xfa:data element from an existing XDP file
PdfReader inputReader = new PdfReader( "input.pdf" );
File tempPdfFile = File.createTempFile( "sd", ".pdf" );
FileOutputStream tempPdfOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(
tempPdfFile );
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper( inputReader,
tempPdfOutputStream );
AcroFields fields = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
fields.mergeXfaData( inputDataElement );
pdfStamper.close();
tempPdfOutputStream.close();
</pre>
