Hi,

It is possible to manipulate XFA by using PDFBox?

Thank you,

Thank you for the hints.

At this very moment I am beginned in Java, so that I can only use examples, but I will do all my best to use what you point out.

There is some kind of a starting point but AFAIU the code it is only a 
placeholder for the code which has to be implemented. Have a look at [1] and you 
will see what I'm talking about. If you want to play around with that code, have 
another look at [2]. It's an example how to get access to a form and its fields. 
Further informations about XFA Forms can be found in chapter 8.6.7 of adobes pdf 
1.7 reference manual.

Thank you for this quick answer.

I think I expressed myself in a wrong way.

My intention is to get the XFA, modify it outside PDFBox and set it again within the PDF file, replacing the original one.

If this is possible, there is an example?


Thank you,

AFAIK there isn't any support for XFA.
