public final class FormType

extends java.lang.Object

FormType defines the valid form types.

Before you can export form data, you need to determine whether a PDF document has a form and, if it does, what type of form it has. The getFormType method of a PDFDocument object returns a FormType object, which indicates the type of form. For information about how to determine the form type, see the Developer Guide.

The FormType class defines these form types:

FormType.NOT_A_FORM	The PDF document does not contain a form.
FormType.ACROFORM	The PDF document contains an Acrobat form. Forms of type ACROFORM use the XFDF schema.
FormType.XML_FORM	The PDF document contains an XML Forms Architcture stream. Forms of type XML_FORM use the XML Forms Architcture schema.
