PdfBox-Android

Basic PDF form filling on Android with a modified version of Apache's PdfBox project

This is a stripped down version of Apache's PdfBox Java library for manipulating PDF documents. This version: -Contains only the methods required to open a PDF document with forms, fill them, and save and close the document -Works on Android -All method and variable names remain the same, but the base package is now org.apache.pdfboxandroid

Example code:

	File root = android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); 
	File dir = new File (root.getAbsolutePath() + "/download");
	dir.mkdirs();
	File out = new File(dir, "test.pdf");

	try {
		PDDocument pdfDoc = PDDocument.load(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/download" + "/input.pdf");
	    	PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = pdfDoc.getDocumentCatalog();
	    	PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
	    	PDField field = acroForm.getField("Date");
	    	if (field != null) {
	    	    field.setValue("Today");
	    	}
	    	try {
			pdfDoc.save(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/download" + "/output.pdf");
		} catch (COSVisitorException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
		}
	    	pdfDoc.close();
	} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
	        e.printStackTrace();
	        Log.i("debug", "******* File not found. Did you" +
	                " add a WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to the   manifest?");
	    } catch (IOException e) {
	        e.printStackTrace();
	    }
	}
