xfdf supporting java library for xfa form provided by Adobe ?

Sep 17, 2012 9:47 PM

I had been working to find that how we can handle the newer xfdf format and explored many pdf libraries including Apache PDFBox and iTtext.

While exploring I found that the underlying architecture for the pdf  itself could be either Xfa (composed in livecyle designer)  or Acroform(composed in acrobat tool). The forms available with us are third party provided form and  are Xfa forms.

 

 

Acroforms are properly supported in all these libraries but I see very less support for Xfa.

 

Is there any java liberaries provided by Adobe to work with xfdf format in Xfa Forms ?

 

Thanks

    Yes, the LiveCycle product family has tools for working with XFA forms, and the API is Java.

    I do not know the LiveCycle products. I only know that they are the products which Adobe sell for doing this job. I do not know which of the products you would need. You could try asking in the LiveCycle forms.

    Yes, you would need to purchase/license the product and it would be installed on any machine on which your software would also run.

     

    You can’t simply extract out “some jars”.
