Using iText7 to Flatten XFA PDF












1















I'm looking for an example of the following:




  1. Identifying whether a PDF is a XFA format

  2. Reading the XFA fields and pulling the data

  3. Flattening the XFA PDF

  4. Rendering the Flattened PDF to a byte array image for database storage.


I accomplished this in iTextSharp, but it appears to be completely different in iText7.
