I have created a PDF Form with text fields, and check boxes in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Also, I have DynamicPDF Merger Library of JAVA.
What I need is to show a PDF form in the browser by using Angular. The customer should fill the data and press the submit button (the submit button is not in the PDF). On submit button I need the updated PDF. The main requirement is that the button should not be in the PDF.

I have an issue regarding a dynamically filled PDF form losing checkbox selection on using the Saves As functionality
I am describing the workflow which we are using currently to fill the PDF and subsequent issues.
We are receiving the PDF template created through "Adobe InDesign" from a 3rd party vendor.
We are using "Apache PDFBox 1.8.X' utility to read the PDF form and fill in all the required fields .. including checkboxes and radio buttons.
Once the Filled up PDF is generated through PDFbox, the PDF opens in a new browser window. All the selections are visible correctly as desired.
Scenario 1 > If i just save the generated PDF through save button on the browser , the PDF is saved correctly & all the checkbox selections are retained.
Also, when using Acrobar Pro to inspect the form fields, the check box fields are identified correctly.
Scenario 2 ( Having issue ) > In case of using "Save As" either on the browser Or "Save As" on the previously saved PDF on disk, on saving .. The checkboxes which were selected before displayed without the selections. Also , the previously filled Check Box is also not recognized as a Form Field. Instead the checkbox is almost like a normal image / text almost .
On a related note , i found that i am able to view the checkbox selection when i open the "Save As" pdf it within Internet Explorer or another PDF utility other than Adobe Acrobat XI . It seems to be an issue with PDFBox & Adobe Acrobat XI.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
My requirement is that i have to display list of PDF documents on browser as rectangular boxes. In the rectangular box i need to show PDF document cover page as thumbnail. When user clicks on any rectangular box, calls goes to server side and document will download on client.
We have couple of JQuery plugins that works as PDF viewer but what i need is PDF first page as thumbnail.
My questions is can we achieve this on client side?
If not then i will have to possibly work this out on server side by converting PDF page to image using JPedal/Ghost4J tools and then sending images to client side.
I am generating PDFs file dynamically in my application using Apache PDFBox library.
I have jsp page which is having Print button.When user click on that print button i want to generate PDF file and at the same time show pdf file on browser and apply window.print() method.
How can i achieve this in my jsp page?
Create a pdf link on your page and the link should be mapped to the actual location the PDF exists on your server.
The browser actually handles what to do with the pdf (based on your browser settings) .... whether to download it or open it via plugin. The bottomline is you cannot control it via server side code.
In either of the case you cannot apply window.print() because that is only applicable to browser window and not pdf plugin functionality or if it gets downloaded then he has to manually open it.
There is an alternate solution to this. That is show the pdf in a div in your html and print that div.
For how to show pdf in a html div you can look Display Adobe pdf inside a div
For printing a div or any other html element there are jquery plugins available. I have used print.js that will print a html div, it will also maintain your css.
So when user clicks the print button first show the pdf in a div and then call the print function to print that div.
How do I make a PDF file downloadable?
I'm have my web application in Tapestry 4.0.2, Spring and hibernate. when the user clicks in a "Save as PDF" link a PDF should be available to be downloaded.
So far I've a working code that generates the PDF file, but the file is saved on my desktop and what I want to do is that when the user clicks on the link the pdf file should be downloadable instead of being stored in the app. I'm using iText library for this.
You'll use a StreamResponse to render the binary and ComponentResources.createEventLink(...) to generate a link to the PDF event.
Take a look at my PDFLink component here which uses Apache FOP to render the PDF binary
* EDIT *
I just read the fine print (ie Tapestry 4.0.2). I'm unfamiliar with Tapestry 4. I'll leave this answer here as some of it may be compatible.
