• Question

    By Howard D Greenberg 1 decade ago

    Great presentation today!

    My immediate use case would be to take a pdf that has editable fields on the pdf.  I then want to populate those fields and create a new pdf that is not editable.  The use case is that I am printing out a certificate that has a graphics background, etc. and don't want the end user to be able to change these fields.

    Would this be achievable using the project?

    thanks,

    Howard

    • Conver your pdf word?

      By Christian Güdemann 1 decade ago

      Hello Howard

      Out of the box is this use case not supported. But I would do the following:

      1. Convert the PDF back to Word

      2. Replace the Fields with placeholders (see the examples)

      3. Make the mapping with a POI Document and select "pdfOutput = true"

      The result should bring you the PDF.

       

      Your use case is on my list for consideration.

      Hope my proposed work a round will help!
