Can we add readOnly attribute to field?

[czcpf]

Hello, Is it possible to add a readOnly attribute when using fillForm Method? If there is some other way please advise.

Never heard about readonly attributes. Is this a PDF feature? And does any pdftk version support it? Note that this library is just a PHP wrapper around pdftk. So you should first check there for missing features.

They are just simple properties you add to the xml field node for xfdf and for fdf there is a different syntax.

For xfdf, see for example page 54 “flags”

Hmm, so how would a XFDF file look with these attributes? Our XfdfFile class right now only deals with form data and the generated XML looks like this:

If you have XFDF with flags, did you test if pdftk can process it?

@czcpf Where you able to test it?

I’m sorry I have not had time. I do think it would be a great feature and I will test soon.
