pdf prepare form modular


I have a few documents that all look the same initially, but then have different content in the middle of the document.

Is there a way to make a base template pdf, and then tell a pdf to use it as the base and then add additional template data to the result. i.e. like a modular class system.

I am using pdf, adobe acrobat pro DC, and its Prepare Form component. and I am usign Itext to read the template and then populate the data into a final pdf.

please remove tag if this is not related to itext, but i wondered if there was an option within itext to pull a template and then add the contents from another template.


Solution

  • the answer seems to be use livecycle designer for dynamic tempaltes. or wait for itexts new dynamic forms.
