如何填写PDF文本框注释 到目前为止我已经尝试过的

问题描述

我可以使用以下代码填充文本框批注，但文本不会在诸如Adobe Acrobat的某些阅读器中显示，尽管确实会在Chrome和其他基于Webkit的浏览器中显示。我尝试填写的PDF不使用AcroForms或FDF。我使用的是Apache PDFBox，但我不认为PDF库甚至在不同语言/平台之间都没有太大区别。

// edited for brevity
PDAnnotation annotation = doc.getPages().get(0).getAnnotations().get(0);
COSDictionary cosObject = annotation.getCOSObject();
cosObject.setString(COSName.V,content);

示例文档为IRS form W-4。

到目前为止我已经尝试过的

我尝试将我的PDF输出与Chrome中填充的文档进行比较，但是我看到的唯一区别是默认外观（DA）属性。我试图设置像这样的默认外观文本内容，但无济于事：

COsstring defaultAppearance = (COsstring)cosObject.getItem(COSName.DA);
COsstring newAppearance = new COsstring(defaultAppearance.getString() + "0 0 Td (" + value + ") Tj");
cosObject.setItem(COSName.DA,newAppearance);

我还弄乱了一些听起来很有前途的标志：

int FLAG_PRINT = 4;
int FLAG_READ_ONLY = 64;
annotation.setAnnotationFlags(annotation.getAnnotationFlags() | FLAG_PRINT | FLAG_READ_ONLY);

我还尝试了其他属性：

cosObject.setString(COSName.CONTENTS,content);

我相信the PDF 1.7 spec中的相关部分是12.7.4.3。

我想念什么？

解决方法

您的PDF确实使用了acroform字段。窗口小部件注释是字段的可视表示。您要做的是设置字段。这是源代码下载中的SetField.java示例。使用以下参数进行调用：文件名，字段名称（名字为“ topmostSubform [0] .Page1 [0] .Step1a [0] .f1_01 [0]”）和一个值。

要获取字段名称，请下载PDFDebugger并将鼠标悬停在您要设置的字段上。

这是设置字段后的样子：
