Aspose Team,
I’ve been trying to concatenate Dynamic XFA PDfs to one single PDF using evaluation version.
Our goal is to import XML data to PDFs, then concatenate all files into one single PDF.
I’ve tried 2 different options using Aspose PDF java version.
1. Convert XFA pdf with data to standard PDF
Result : data entered in all fields are cleared using below code.
Document document = new Document(dataDir+“RR_SF424_2_0_V2_0_48742.pdf”);
//Set the form fields type as standard AcroForm
document.getForm().setType(FormType.Standard);
document.getForm().flatten();
//Save the resultant PDF
document.save(dataDir+“Standard_AcroForm.pdf”);
2. Open PDF, flatten all fields and save Pdf with a different filename. (import xml and flatten all fields also works same way)
Result : Some fields like checkbox, selection lists are still editable. and some data is not retained using below code.
com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form form1 = new com.aspose.pdf.facades. Form();
form1.bindPdf(dataDir + “RR_SF424_2_0_V2_0_48742.pdf”);
form1.flattenAllFields();
form1.save(dataDir + “RR_SF424_2_0_V2_0_48742_data_flatten.pdf”);
//different PDF Test (first few fields are not retained with data )
com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form pdfForm = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form();
pdfForm.bindPdf(dataDir + “BSRI_RR_Budgetv.pdf”);
pdfForm.flattenAllFields();
pdfForm.save(dataDir + “BSRI_RR_Budgetv_flatten.pdf”);
Please suggest the right way of converting and concatenation process.
