handling Javascript actions in PDF with Java
- by Stroboskop
I'm trying to make PDF forms (aka AcroForms) editable in Java.
So far i got the GUI editing and printing working using Bruno Lowagie's iText and Sun's pdf-renderer.
But now i'm close to scrapping it all, because after switching from try & error to reading the PDF specification, i realized that it's all worthless unless i can make the multitude of possible JavaScript actions work as well. I don't think iText can do that.
So in short: are there any Java libraries that do proper form handling including actions?
Or maybe even a Java GUI component to edit form data?
