Remove appearance of TextField in droidText : Android
- by AnujAroshA
I am trying to create a PDF using droidText library. There I want to place some text content in the middle of the page but align to left. I was unable to do with Paragraph class and setAlignment() method. So I have decided to use TextField class. Below is the code I have used,
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
try {
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + java.io.File.separator + "TextFields.pdf"));
document.open();
TextField tf = new TextField(writer, new Rectangle(100, 300, 200, 350), "Content");
tf.setText("This is the content of text field");
tf.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
tf.setOptions(TextField.MULTILINE | TextField.REQUIRED);
PdfFormField field = tf.getTextField();
writer.addAnnotation(field);
} catch (DocumentException de) {
System.err.println(de.getMessage());
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
document.close();
Code works perfect, but the out put PDF file that I am getting has this TextField which can be editable and also change the font appearance when I am click on the TextField. I don't want that in to my final PDF. How can I remove that attribute? If it is not possible, is there any other way I can position some text in a PDF file using droidText library in Android?
