Hi Everyone,
I filled in an interactive PDF document using Pdfbox. It works in the sense
that the right field does get the value, but after it gets saved, it
becomes read-only and can't be manually changed using pdf reader.
I have attached the form for your reference. Thank you.
PDDocument pdfTemplate = PDDocument.load(file);
PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfTemplate.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
// Get field names
List<PDField> fieldList = acroForm.getFields();
// String the object array
String[] fieldArray = new String[fieldList.size()];
int i = 0;
for (PDField sField : fieldList) {
fieldArray[i] = sField.getFullyQualifiedName();
i++;
}
for (String f : fieldArray) {
PDField field = acroForm.getField(f);
System.out.println("field is: " + f);
System.out.println(" type: " + field.getFieldType());
if (f.contains("area")) {
field.setValue("York");
}
}
try {
pdfTemplate.setAllSecurityToBeRemoved(true);
pdfTemplate.save(output_file);
pdfTemplate.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Best Wishes,
Jason
