Hello,

I created a acrobat form in version 7.0 and used
setfield to bind the variables but I am unable to see
the values when I view online. I am using
PDFBox_7.0.2.
Here is code that I am using in peoplesoft:
______________________________________
&pdf_file = CreateJavaObject
("org.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument");
&source_file = &pdf_file.load
("Service_Terms_mstr.pdf");

&jo = CreateJavaObject
("org.pdfbox.examples.fdf.SetField");

If &target_field = "company" Then
&field_value = &name;
End-If;

&jo.setField(&source_file, &target_field,
&field_value);

&source_file.save(&PATH | %UserId | ".pdf");

ViewURL("http://" | &servername | "/" | &DBNAME | "/"

%UserId

".pdf", True);

_________________________________________________

I am able to view the whole page except the form
fields that need to updated using setfield ,they are
blank. I read somewhere that using version 6.0 would
help. Please guide me.

Thanks a lot.
