AR supports Formfields als also saving the PDF after filling the form. You can do both too with PDFBox (in B4J). Extracting .FDF-File, Adding a .FDF to an document and saved that as a new PDF.

DonManfred Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 17, 2025 #6 I guess this is something an uptodate pdf viewer should support and what adobe reader does. PDFium does not have any references in the code regarding form and formfield. Also nothing about .FDF at all. It is an old project btw. I guess you have to find another way. Upvote 0
