Cordova and forms editing was created by Marat Faskhiev

Hi,

1. I created a cordova app similar to github.com/simonprickett/cordova-radaee-pdf-example and opened pdf file which contains form. For some reason fields are not editable. Could you tell me what should I do to enable form editing?
2. I need to save edited pdf file on close. Could you point me how I can achieve this?

1. Make sure that your pdf is not in read only state, and that you have an activated license (demo license or yours if any)

2. Our Cordova plugin , already supports the saving of the modified pdf.

(Give it a try, and if this isn't what you want, please explain what you need)

I'm able to edit form fields by using chrome browser.
Currently I'm trying to use demo license. As I understand I should not activate license in this case for Android. Demo license is default license. Am I correct?

For some reason I cannot attach files to this post

Here is js script for refenerence.

Code:

var app = {
    initialize: function () {
        document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
    },

    onDeviceReady: function () {
        var parentElement = document.getElementById('deviceready');
        var listeningElement = parentElement.querySelector('.listening');
        var receivedElement = parentElement.querySelector('.received');

        listeningElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:none;');
        receivedElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;');

        document.getElementById('loadpdf').addEventListener(
            'click',
            function (e) {
                RadaeePDFPlugin.openFromAssets({
                    url: 'www/File.pdf',
                    password: ''
                }, function (message) {
                    console.log('Success: ' + message);
                }, function (err) {
                    console.log('Failure: ' + err);
                });
            }
        );

        if (device.platform === 'Android') {
            xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            xhr.open('GET', './File.pdf', true);
            xhr.responseType = 'blob';

            xhr.onload = function () {
                var blob;

                if (this.status === 200) {
                    blob = new Blob([this.response], { type: 'application/pdf' });

                    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.externalDataDirectory, function (dir) {
                        dir.getFile('File.pdf', { create: true, exclusive: false }, function (file) {
                            file.createWriter(function (fileWriter) {
                                fileWriter.onwriteend = function () {
                                    console.log('Successful file write: ' + file.toURL());
                                };

                                fileWriter.onerror = function (e) {
                                    console.log('Failed file write: ' + e.toString());
                                };

                                fileWriter.write(blob);
                            });
                        });
                    });
                } else {
                    console.log('problem: ' + this.status);
                }
            };

            xhr.send();
        } else {
            // iOS
            RadaeePDFPlugin.activateLicense({
                licenseType: 0,
                company: '',
                email: '',
                key: ''
            }, function (message) {
                console.log('Activated license');
            }, function (message) {
                console.log('License Activation failed');
            });
        }
    }
};

app.initialize();

I checked iOS and Android. In both cases form is not editable.

Yes, but make sure that your cordova project has (com.radaee.reader) as package name

Openeing the pdf form Assets, opens the document in a readonly state.
You need to use the open instead

Code:

RadaeePDFPlugin.open({
      url: "file:///mnt/sdcard/Download/pdf/test.pdf",
       password: ''
       }, function (message) {
              console.log('Success: ' + message);
       }, function (err) {
               console.log('Failure: ' + err);
});

Hi,

I changed package name to com.radaee.reader and added reading of pdf file from sdcard. And I still have an issue with a forms.
1. Form fields became selectable
2. I can invoke Note adding for fields

3. But after clicking ok no visible changes occur. If I'm trying to open note for the same field it is empty
4. Form fields are not editable still

Code:

        RadaeePDFPlugin.open({
            url: "file:///storage/sdcard1/Test/Test.pdf",
            password: ''
        }, function (message) {
            console.log('Success: ' + message);
        }, function (err) {
            console.log('Failure: ' + err);
        });
