I'm using CAM::PDF to generate a completed pdf form, following node: Filling out PDF forms with data from DBI? However to send it I want to remove the editable fields and convert it into a pdf document. Can anyone help me to do this, please?
#!/usr/bin/perl # pdf-filler-test.pl use strict; use warnings; use CAM::PDF; # my $infile = 'input.pdf'; my $outfile = 'output.pdf'; my $pdf = CAM::PDF->new($infile) or die 'wtf'; my @FIELDS = $pdf->getFormFieldList(); # foreach ( @FIELDS ) { my $fieldnum = $_; $pdf->fillFormFields($_ => $fieldnum); } $pdf->cleanoutput($outfile);
Update: I used the following code to achieve this:
$pdf->clearAnnotations(); $pdf->cleanoutput($outfile);
