I am trying to open a PDF template file and import an XML file into it and output the new and filled PDF file.
This is my code:
package com.company;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import com.aspose.pdf.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-pdf/Aspose.Pdf-for-Java
// Open document
com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form form = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form();
form.bindPdf("C:/Users/Coto/Desktop/importxml/mq_template.pdf");
// Open XML file.
java.io.FileInputStream xmlInputStream = new FileInputStream("C://Users//Coto//Desktop//importxml//C-385180_Monitoring_questions_20180822_HOR_Final.docx_XML.xml");
// Import XML data
form.importXml(xmlInputStream);
// close file stream
xmlInputStream.close();
// Save updated PDF
form.save("output.pdf");
// dispose the form object
form.dispose();
}
}
The exceptions which you are facing seem general Java IDE generated. You need to enclose your code snippet in Try block and use Catch to handle FileNotFoundException and IOException. You may please surround your code with Try/Catch block and in case you still face any issue related to Aspose.PDF, please share your sample PDF and XML files with us. We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.
package com.company;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import com.aspose.pdf.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-pdf/Aspose.Pdf-for-Java
// Open document
com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form form = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.Form();
form.bindPdf("C:/Users/Coto/Desktop/importxml/mq_template.pdf");
try {
// Open XML file.
java.io.FileInputStream xmlInputStream = new FileInputStream("C:/Users/Coto/Desktop/importxml/C-385180_Monitoring_questions_20180822_HOR_Final.docx_XML.xml");
// Import XML data
form.importXml(xmlInputStream);
// close file stream
xmlInputStream.close();
// Save updated PDF
form.save("C:/Users/Coto/Desktop/importxml/output.pdf");
// dispose the form object
form.dispose();
}
catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println("File wasnt found");
}
catch(IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Cant read");
}
}
}
And the code finishes successfully with exit code 0.I check and a new file “output.pdf” has been created, however, it’s as if it didn’t import the XML file at all. When I import the XML using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, it works fine, but not using the above script…
My PDF template file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/299995740711682058/522817436622258176/mq_template.pdf
My XML file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/299995740711682058/522817444860133386/C-385180_Monitoring_questions_20180822_HOR_Final.docx_XML.xml
Normally, the forms should be filled with text, but none of this appears to happen - it just creates a new output.pdf file that looks more like mq_template.pdf.
We were able to replicate the issue in our environment using Aspose.PDF for Java 18.11 and logged it as PDFJAVA-38237 in our issue management system for the sake of correction.
