Fill Static XFA
This demo shows you how to fill a static XFA form.
A static XFA form has an XML package representing the XFA form and a standard AcroForm representation.
The SetaPDF-FormFiller component keeps both information in sync for you.
PHP
<?php
// load and register the autoload function
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../../../../bootstrap.php';
// get the document isntance
$document = \SetaPDF_Core_Document::loadByFilename(
$assetsDirectory . '/pdfs/forms/xfa/CheckRequest.pdf',
new \SetaPDF_Core_Writer_Http('static-xfa-form.pdf', true)
);
// now get an instance of the form filler
$formFiller = new \SetaPDF_FormFiller($document);
// solution A:
$xfa = $formFiller->getXfa();
if ($xfa === false) {
echo "No XFA data found.";
}
// pass the data packet to the setData() method:
$xfa->setData('
<form1>
<Name>Test Person</Name>
<Title>Dr.</Title>
<Deptartment>Sales</Deptartment>
</form1>
');
// sync the AcroForm fields
$xfa->syncAcroFormFields();
// solution B: Same as normal AcroForm fields
$fields = $formFiller->getFields();
// will overwrite the Title
$fields['form1[0].#subform[0].Header[0].Title[0]']->setValue('Prof.');
// ...
$document->save()->finish();
