Filling PDF Form Fields

[pinnymz]

Is there a way to fill existing form fields from a template PDF file, and save as a 'filled' PDF?

Thanks

Hi,

I'd just like to second this question in the hope of an answer; can I programatically fill existing form fields in a Template PDF and save out the filled PDF as a result.

OR

Add/Edit text in an existing PDF (template) and save the result as a new file.

Hi,


We had not get enough time to bring this feature in the V8. It will be available in the 8.1 or 8.2.


Kind regards,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Will it be in the .NET side of things only, or available in the ActiveX part as well?

Thanks

Hi Sami, already did

Bus still get an empty document at save, my code looks like this

Code: Select all

'Open a document
oGdPicturePDF.LoadFromFile(Application.StartupPath.TrimEnd("\") & "\" & "demo_new.pdf", True)
 ffcount = oGdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldsCount

'Set every text field to date
        For i = 0 To ffcount - 1

            Select Case CType(oGdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldType(i), PdfFormFieldType)
                    Case PdfFormFieldType.PdfFormFieldTypeText
                     oGdPicturePDF.SetFormFieldValue(i, Now.ToString)
            End Select

        Next

'Lock fields
 oGdPicturePDF.FlattenFormFields()

'SAve file
oGdPicturePDF.SaveToFile(Application.StartupPath.TrimEnd("\") & "\" & "demo_out.pdf")


But get an emty fields document.

Am I right or shall it be done on a different way?
