How to rebuild pdf from adobe returned entire PDF file as what looks like binary string

Asked 2022-Jan-18 at 00:28

I have a PDF with submit button that sends the entire pdf in the body of a POST API

"PDF: Returns the entire PDF file with the user input."(https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/setting-action-buttons-pdf-forms.html)

However, it comes in a very weird format and I am really lost on how to rebuild the pdf back from that "binary string"(I might be wrong)

This is how it look like but it's pretty long(all pdf's binaries are too long)

After I .encode().decode().encode('utf-8'), it looks like this

I tried to use b64decode(t, validate=True) but it fails and says some characters can not be decoded. I also tried .decode('windows-1252') but same thing.

Adobe Acrobat documentation is not really clear on how to proceed.

I would really appreciate and will upvote any suggestion or hint.

After days of looking,

The problem is actually in AWS API Gateway itself. it converts the file code somehow before passing it through to Lambda function. That misses up the binary64.

This great article here helped me to fix it and now by simply base64.b64decode() it, it works well! https://medium.com/swlh/upload-binary-files-to-s3-using-aws-api-gateway-with-aws-lambda-2b4ba8c70b8e

PDFBOX acroForm filled but when opened in Acrobat reader values disappears

Asked 2021-Jan-22 at 03:37

I have PDF form, I am trying to fill it with PDFBOX. It works, form is filled and I open with other reader or browser, I can see values, however When I tries to open in Adobe Reader values disappears, I tried every possible way to find out why But values, are not visible.

I have template form, that I use and fill data, rename fields, and merge it into other document, and redo that process until all forms are filled up.

I am not sure if this related to my code or Adobe reader.

"Missing PDF" every time I use Grapecity PDF Viewer

Asked 2020-Aug-20 at 11:12

I'm building an app that will have an interactive PDF form on a server (in HTML, CSS, JS). I have been trying to use the Grapecity PDF viewer, but to no avail. I've followed the documentation to a T, using these resources: one, two, three.

thank you for using GCPDF Viewer. is the filename exactly the same, it might be case-sensitive OS? Can you look in the browser networktab and watch for the request going to retrieve the PDF file, is it looking in the same location where you have placed the file. which server software are you running? is it serving the PDF file?

QUESTION

PDFTK - generate a QrCode using Adobe PDF barcode form field

Asked 2020-Jun-29 at 22:01

I'm using pdftk for a while to fill form embedded in some Adobe PDF. For now the use of json data through fill_form method(of pdf-forms gem) was great.

A while ago I heard about Barcodes/QrCodes field in Adobe PDF forms. And that is a good idea but I didn't achieve to generate a Qrcode from a JSON data parameter.

Here are my tries :

giving a Base64 string to the field
giving a string to the field
giving a PNG file to the field
switching between Code with format and Script value parameter. (for each previous test)

Before you answer I prefer not to choose the solution to generate a separate PDF file with the generated QrCode and merge it on the right place on the right page of my final PDF.

Is someone succeeded to do this ?

Should I rather take the option of Image field ? If yes, could it be explained ?

Thanks a lot if you have an answer !!

Have a nice day

If you are referring to the kind of barcodes that are generated from data in other fields with JavaScript embedded in a PDF, it will not work because pdftk does not do JavaScript. Nor it does image fields. I am afraid that your choices are to look for another tool (iText, maybe?) or to go with the solution you dislike. Or maybe, if you are willing to use a different barcode format, then this question How can I inject a dynamically generated image (barcode, as it happens) into a PDF document (I'm in rails if that matters)? could help.

QUESTION

How can I define the encoding of strings in JavaScript script in Adobe Acrobat DC

Asked 2020-Jun-12 at 19:49

I use JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat DC to batch fill a fillable PDF form and make copies for each entry in a tab delimited file.

The file is in UTF-8 And the characters (Czech) č ř and š Are visible when opening the text file.

Also when I manually copy and paste the characters in the PDF form I can see the characters.

However when I run the JavaScript action these characters are not inserted correctly. There are some weird characters instead.

The JavaScript is this:

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Jun-12 at 19:49

I'm really not a fan of the Doc.importTextData functionality for a number of reasons. No control over the encoding is just one of them. Instead, use Util.readFileIntoStream() then Util.stringFromStream() where you can set the encoding then parse the text into rows and then fields to populate your form

Due to security restrictions for saving files using a path, this script must be run from the Acrobat JavaScript console. Column names in the XLS and field names in the PDF must match exactly. Export to the XLS to CSV UTF-8. Field names are case sensitive. Columns that do not have a corresponding field in the PDF will be ignored.

Use: Open your form template, then run this code from the console.
