Operation: Set Fields

The Set Fields operation sets form field values in the output PDF document. Form fields are converted to text in the output PDF document and are no longer editable if the flatten="true" attribute has been declared.

Input

For Operation Set Fields the adapter expects an adapter-specific XML document which defines the absolute path to the associated PDF form in <Document> element and the form field data to be set in any number of <Field> elements. With attribute flatten="true" the form fields are converted to flat text in the generated PDF document, with flatten="false" the form fields remain editable.

Output

The output is a copy of the PDF form document referenced in the input with flat text. The text cannot be edited because flatten="true" was defined in the input.
