Convert Dynamic XFA form to Standard AcroForm not working - Aspose.PDF for .NET

DavC · November 28, 2013, 11:29am

Hi,

I’m trying to convert the following PDF with XFA forms to standard Acroform but it failed using the following code from your example:

var license = new License();
license.SetLicense(@“D:\Dev\Aspose.Total.Product.Family.lic”);

Document document = new Document(@“D:\Test\cerfa_13754-02.pdf”);
// set the form fields type as standard AcroForm
document.Form.Type = FormType.Standard;
// save the resultant PDF
document.Save(@“D:\Test\Standard_AcroForm.pdf”);

Could you provide me with an estimate of when this feature will be integrated into Aspose.Pdf JAVA?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

We have made some progress towards the resolution of earlier reported issue and when using latest release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 10.5.0 no exception is being generated and forms are being converted to Standard format. Can you please try using latest release and in case you still face any issue, please feel free to contact.

Thanks for info,
Do you have any update for Java platform?
I just tried the last 10.4.1 aspose.pdf, but still not working.I am not getting exception during converting to Stardart type for dynamic XFA files as with older versions. But when i am merging to another pdf, the result is only pdf with message in content: "Please wait…
If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF
viewer may not be able to display this type of document."
Also when i am asking the type after setting pdf to standart, i get the same as before -dynamic.
It seems setting type is ignored for dynamic pdf files.

code i am using:
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(“output.pdf”);
InputStream dynamicPdfStream = new FileInputStream(new File(“dynamic.pdf”));
com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDynam = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(dynamicPdfStream);
com.aspose.pdf.Document outputPdf = new com.aspose.pdf.Document();

pdfDynam.getForm().setType(FormType.Standard);
pdfDynam.save();

outputPdf.getPages().add(pdfDynam.getPages());
outputPdf.save(outputStream);

outputStream.close();
dynamicPdfStream.close();

Hello..Sorry for intruding here -

I am using Aspose.pdf with c#.net

I Have a requirement to disable all the options from PDF other than printing and Viewing since it will be sent to some clients and we do not want them to edit it by any means. I have disabled all the signing options , but there is an option called "get others to sign" Powered by echosign .

How do i disable it.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for contacting support and sorry for the delayed response.

As per my observations, when using Aspose.Pdf for Java 10.4.1 with resource files (XFA Forms) shared in first post of this thread, I am able to notice that XFA forms are not being converted to Standard AcroForm. However for the sake of correction, I have separately logged them as

cerfa_13754-02.pdf conversion issue is logged as PDFNEWJAVA-35021
demande_carte_grise.pdf conversion issue is logged as PDFNEWJAVA-35021

Besides this, can you please share your resource/input files, so that we can test the conversion in our environment. Please note that the results might be different based on structure and complexity of input document.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.
