Don't you think it's worth validating the submitted content before the
comma, and perhaps inspecting the first few bytes of the "image data"
to ensure they comply with the header bytes required by the PNG or
JPEG spec?

I may run into this soon as well.
Do you think you'd be able to generate the font cache once, create a
one-off call to serve it back to yourself, and then package the font
cache files in with the app to prevent it from being regenerated every
time (and also avoid any S3 charges)?

Something in a zip cannot be a File. You can use getResourceAsStream
to get the contents of the PDF as an InputStream.

I have a PDF workflow where I take a base document with forms, then
append a footer that puts values in the form fields and save the
result, then open it with PDFBox and flatten it:
doc = PDDocument.load(tempFile);
doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().flatten();
Then I add an image to the page
DFBox itself.

I am trying to fill out this PDF form programmatically with PDFBox 2:

When I look at it with the PDF Debugger, I see different fields than if I
look at it using the PDFBox API. For instance:

Is there an "easy" option to do a linear gradient fill that includes an
alpha component of the colors? Basically, I want to draw one shape with a
gradient fill over a different shape with a different color gradient fill
and use an alpha < 1 so that you can see the back shape through the front
one.
Is there a way to use the PrintPDF command-line tool and force it to use
duplex and a specific paper tray? These options are available via lpr (I'm
on a Mac). I have been printing PDFs via lpr but there's a new printer and
maybe 5% of jobs fail to print (the printer says "cancelling job" in the

That's great, thanks!
On a side note, the issue printing PDFs directly to the printer was with a
Brother printer. For some fraction of PDFs, it just silently canceled the
job with no error message returned to the Mac that issued the job. This
never used to happen with the HP it replaced. It see
I'm using PDFBox to generate PDF documents.
I find that I need a few functions that are a bit higher-level than
PDF commands, yet not to the level of e.g. a report writer or
something. Things like drawing circles (or fourths of a circle),
fitting text into a rectangle by shrinking the font and/or
I see that the file that the font cache file is saved to a location

I'm deploying my PDFBox app to OpenShift. The font cache directory
should be set to the value of an environment variable in that
environment (or some offset from the path in the env var). And, while

than "keep your fingers crossed". Might be as good to just hardcode

go update the system property.

If the form isn't changing, can you just check out the field
definition in the PDF doc? Here's one from the PDF form I'm working
with:
<< /Type /Annot /T (SlotsTotal 19) /V () /Rect [ 51.855 457.452 91.095 478.332
] /DV () /FT /Tx /DA (/Helvetica 12 Tf 0 g) /F 4 /MK 1972 0 R /Q 1 /Subtype
/Widget
So I've had an issue with a third-party PDF with forms where once I
complete the form the layout of the completed form field text is
slightly different in Preview on the Mac compared to Acrobat Reader on
Windows, and also across browsers with built-in pdf rendering. For
instance, the text might be

I could combine #2 (if I bump out all the field Rects 2 points in each
direction to avoid the minuscule text) for non-Preview users and #3
for Preview users, except neither works with printing.

I was poking around the code for string widths in PDFont.getStringWidth and etc.
It looks like to compute the width of a string it just adds up the
widths of each individual character in the string:

So, I guess I don't understand this part.
I'm having trouble emitting a copyright (C) or registered trademark
(R) sign in an appearance stream using the built-in Helvetica font.
Here's what I'm trying:

12 TL
(\256\251This is a test) Tj

with /Helv defined as:
/Helv << /Type /Font /Subtype /Typ

Thanks,

Right now I have an "original" PDF document with blank form fields.
I've appended to the end a document revision that includes a set of
overrides to specify values for those form fields. However, for a
variety of reasons I've ended up specifying appearance streams and
setting /NeedAppearances tru

OK this is a long shot but... have a look at this PDF:
https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/phb/downloads/DnD_2024_Character-Sheet.pdf
It's 16 MB. Eyeballing the thing, it doesn't seem like there's that much
complexity in there, though it does have a lot of background images or
textures
se tell when you got it, so I can delete it.
