How to create Acroforms and populate them using PDFBox

[Suraj Mundada <su...@cashcare.in>]

Hi,

 

I am new to PDFBox. 

 

I want to create a Acroform with labels and text boxes (a regular form
template) which I can use to populate with dynamic values and create a new
pdf for different customers. 

 

I can see PDFBox sample code to load and populate a Acroform. However, I am
unable to find any info on how to create a Acroform. 

 

Got some references on web about using Adobe, LibreOffice tools to create
Acroforms. But they are paid tools. Is there a opensource tool or some other
way to create Acroform?

 

Regards,

Suraj

Hi Suraj,

Did you look at https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/interactive/form/CreateSimpleForm.java?view=markup ?
