Hi,

Any news with this issue?

Be patient... maybe he's busy... or maybe it is a known weakness:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3138

We're not good with complex scripts and RTL fonts :-(

What you could try, is to call AcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true).

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm trying to fill a PDF form using PDFBox 2.0.5 as follows:

PDDocument pdfDocument =
PDDocument.load(this.getClass().getClassLoader().
getResourceAsStream("form.pdf"));
PDAcroForm acroForm = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();

PDResources formResources = acroForm.getDefaultResources();
PDTrueTypeFont font = (PDTrueTypeFont)
formResources.getFont(COSName.getPDFName("David,Bold"));

TrueTypeFont ttFont = font.getTrueTypeFont();

PDFont font2 = PDType0Font.load(pdfDocument, ttFont, true);
ttFont.close();

formResources.put(COSName.getPDFName("F0"), font2);

if (acroForm != null) {
PDTextField field = (PDTextField) acroForm.getField("full_name");
field.setDefaultAppearance("/F0 10 Tf 0 g");
field.setValue(/* hebrew text here*/);
}

File targetFile = File.createTempFile("", ".pdf");
pdfDocument.save(targetFile);
pdfDocument.close();

The reason I embed the David,Bold font is explained here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42903217/write-
cyrillic-chars-into-pdf-form-fields-with-pdfbox

could you upload a PDF before and after filling to a public location?

.

The issue is that the resulting PDF file has the text in the full_name
textbox displayed in the reverse direction. However, if I click on the
textbox, the text appears correctly. I precise that the text filled in
the
textbox is in Hebrew (right-to-left).

Any idea?

Thanks,
Mickael
