[jira] Created: (PDFBOX-481) renaming a field and not able to set
value to the saved PDF document ...
renaming a field and not able to set value to the saved PDF document ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-481
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-481
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel.AcroForm
Affects Versions: 0.7.3
Environment: Windows XP Professional SP3, jre1.6.0_07/jdk1.6.0_11 , PDFBox-0.7.3.jar
Reporter: Venkatesh Prasad.B.K.
Fix For: 0.7.3
I will explain what I want to do.
1. I have a PDF Document with Fields and let us call this 'Source_Original.PDF'. The field names in this PDF document have to be renamed and stored as 'Source_Target.PDF'. I then have to set/change the values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF'.
The issue I am facing is given below:
1. I renamed the form fields in 'Source_Original.PDF" using the code given in my earlier mail (below) and saved it as 'Source_Target.PDF'.
2. I checked the form fields in 'Source_Target.PDF" and form-fields were renamed correctly.
3. However when I tried to set/change values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF' using PDFBox code, I was not able to do so.
I used iText to set/change values of form-fields in 'Source_Target.PDF' and was successful. But we want to use only PDFBox.
To summarize - We are not able to set/change values of form fields of a PDF Document whose form-fields have been renamed. There is no issue if the form-fields are renamed manually using Adobe Acrobat 9. The issue is only
when the form-fields are renamed using PDFBox option - setPartialName(newFieldName);
> Only to be sure, changing values in 'Source_Original.PDF' works with the same code you use to
> manipulate 'Source_Target.PDF'??
Yes
I have attached the 2 files - "Source_Original.PDF' and 'Source_Target.PDF',
----- Code
try
{
PDDocument pdfDocument = PDDocument.load(pdfSource);
try
{
if (pdfDocument.isEncrypted())
{
pdfDocument.decrypt("");
}
PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
if (acroForm != null)
{
List pdfFields = acroForm.getFields();
if (pdfFields != null)
{
PDField pdfField;
for (int i = 0; i < pdfFields.size(); i++)
{
pdfField = (PDField) pdfFields.get(i);
String fieldName = pdfField.getPartialName();
if( pdfFieldNames.containsKey(fieldName) ){
String newFieldName = (String) pdfFieldNames.get(fieldName);
pdfField.setPartialName(newFieldName);
}
}
pdfDocument.save(pdfOutput);
} else {
return "No Acro Form Fields found in PDF Document " + pdfSource + "!";
}
} else {
return "PDF document " + pdfSource + " not able to access!";
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return "PDF Document " + pdfSource + " is encrypted! Cannot process.";
}
pdfDocument.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
return "PDF Document " + pdfSource + " cannot be found!";
}

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-481:
-------------------------------------------
During my debugging I found an issue concerning the scaling of lines. Some lines are too thick. e.g. on the last page the 2 lines for the signature.
The solution is to scale the linewidth with the current transformation matrix. But at this point It is important that the scaling is done just before the path is stroked and not during setting the linewidth as implemented in my former patch (see PDFBOX-454). With version 782401 everything seems to be ok.

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-481:
-------------------------------------------
I've tried to set several values in the Source_Target.pdf and it works fine. I'm using the trunk version of pdfbox but I guess 0.7.3. should work too. But the problem is, pdfbox can't display the whole pdf with PDFReader because of some problems with the PDSeperation during setting the nonstroking color (see stacktrace). This issue doesn't depend on the modifications done to the acroform, the NPE already appears if you try to display Source_Original.pdf.
