PDF Forms Tutorials
PDF files can include FDF forms to add interactive features to pages. It comes with an existing implementation for PDF forms objects and handling PDF actions in Swing, but also allows these to be replaced or mixed with custom java implementations if required.
JPedal is not only able to display FDF forms, static XFA forms and PDF Annotations, and PDF files created with LiveCycle but offers some powerful features allowing the user to access this PDF data and control the PDF display.
JPedal tutorials on PDF forms
- Extract data from PDF forms.
- Add standard Java listeners to any PDF form component.
- Resave altered PDF forms data back to a PDF file.
- A Custom Component Factory can be created to replace the default Swing set with your own widgets.
- Custom Javascript/ActionHandlers AF validation functions (Date, Keystroke, Number, Range, Simple, Time) and the ability to add custom PDF action handling code.
Possible uses
JPedal opens up a number of exciting possibilities. It means that with JPedal, not only can display PDF forms, but they can be fully customised in the way they appear and behave.
Furthermore, you can access the PDF data from them within Java allowing the creation of sophisticated backend server solutions with no additional code. This opens up some very exciting possibilities for workflow!
Viewing forms data
The SimpleViewer example PDF viewer includes an option to display PDF forms as part of the properties tab.
