IOS anyone?

[Gal Kahana]

I got a couple of questions about IOS usage of the lib.

Anyone tried it out?

Anyone has clues on how to do this?

Cheers,

Gal.

Hi,

I use the lib on iOS.

My objective is the be able to fill programmatically form field and show the modified pdf on an iPad.

After some structural modification (like build_all script), i have implemented and updated the code of Jaroslaw (cf : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pdfhummus-interest-group/rM-WNn2PRjk%5B1-25-false%5D).

Currently i can affect value to every String field (not, checkbox),

But the fu****  iPad does not display fields from a form PDF, in a simple UIWebview.

So, how iOS user display there PDF ? with the classical UIWebview object or with other things ?

Regards,

ben

The built-in iOS PDF viewer is incapable of displaying any PDF annotations -- it's the only PDF viewer I've found that doesn't show annotations (why!?!).  So you have to flatten PDFs to get them to show up in the iOS viewer (which is probably a bit of work depending on what you're doing).

Do you know we can 'flatten' a pdf with pdfhummus ?

uiwebview wouldn't so. i think that it relies on Safari and it doesn't know how to display such forms.

i know that Adobe has an SDK for controlling the acorbat. wonder if they provide a view control as well.

I'm still working on this functionality to modify AcroForms.

Modifying /V key in a field is one thing, you need to update also apearance stream. If you only modify value in a field then it will show up only when you click on the field.

Otherwise it's invisible.

Can't tell about ios, I'm not working on it. I use this lib only on the desktop. But if thats possible use acrobat.
