FPDF-Merge Error: Object streams are not supported #57

Open ntrimg opened 2 years ago

ntrimg commented 2 years ago

I took an existing pdf with various fields, converted it in Acrobat so the fields will allow input, and then I tested it out. But I'm getting this error now: FPDF-Merge Error: Object streams are not supported

The test worked fine with the template.pdf that was provided in the code. And when I look at the template.pdf in Acrobat, I can't see what the difference between the two .pdfs are.

Just to add to this:

I opened the template.pdf file in Acrobat, saved it under a different name, and this resulted in the same error message. So, is there a certain way the pdf needs to be saved?

You must save the PDF document in the Pro version of PDFTK ( https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-pro/ )

Under Advanced settings you must put in Advanced Output Options: %PDFTK% %PDFIN% output %PDFOUT%
