[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-3924) How to flatten pdf which contains
acroform fields
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3924?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-3924.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Closing as duplicate of PDFBOX-3550. I've added you as a watcher there, but don't expect anything to happen soon. PDFBox is an unpaid volunteer project, we all have day jobs. None of us (AFAIK) has any knowledge of any language that uses complex scripts so it would be difficult to do it alone. According to google trends, India has a lot of users of PDFBox. India has over a million of software developers. So we'll have to wait for the day when some people will step in. Until then, try commercial solutions, e.g. itext.

> import java.util.List;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
> import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDAcroForm;

> String formTemplate = "C:/Users/XXXX/Downloads/CPIS_test_language.pdf";
> PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(new File(formTemplate));
> PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
> acroForm.setNeedAppearances(true); //need this line for Hindi
>
> if (acroForm != null) {
> // Get field names
> List<PDField> fieldList = acroForm.getFields();
> for (PDField pdField : fieldList) {
