    • XfaForm

      public XfaForm(PdfDictionary acroFormDictionary)
      A constructor from a PdfDictionary. It is assumed, but not necessary for correct initialization, that the dictionary is actually a PdfAcroForm. An entry in the dictionary with the XFA key must contain correct XFA syntax. If the XFA key is absent, then the constructor essentially does nothing.
