DynamicPDF Merger for Java (v6) Forum

Hi

i am using dynamic  pdf api to prepopulate my PDF forms.
But when i draw the bytes out of it and render to browser, display is screwed because of setting values.

My code sample..

MergeDocument doc=new MergeDocument(filepath, new MergeOptions()true);

doc.getForm().getFields().getFormField("fieldname").setValue(someValueString);
.....
doc.draw();

I dont see any error or exception.
Please advise.

Hello,

Can you please send over the input PDF document and the output by saving it to disk using Draw method to our support team at: support@cete.com? Also tell us exactly what you mean by " display is screwed because of setting values" with respect to the output PDF document. This information will help us to look into it further.

Thanks,

I use setValue() method to fill some fields in the form.
and output pdf has its fields messedup. like with some fields dont populate well or button fields(preexisting on pdf) loose their label.

if i dont prepopulate using setValue() but buttons are fine.
so it happens whenever i try to write onto pdf using api.
