Is it possible to render UIElements to PDF ?

[Farhan]

Hi, I have a scenario for my app. Suppos there is one or more textbox with textblock and some radio button, in short it's some kind of form. Now I want to export that form as PDF and letter it can be filled by opening that PDF and generating new PDF with filled values. Is it possible with current Syncfusion library ?

Thanks.

Hi Farhan,

 

Currently we do not have support to convert the UI elements in the form directly to the PDF document. But it is possible to manually create form fields in the PDF document by iterating the UI elements from the form.

 

Please find the sample available in the link below,

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I have tried to open file in Adobe Reader then it shows the button but the built-in Reader app doesn't show button in PDF, can you please check that use case ?

Thanks.

Hi Farhan,

 

Thank you for your update.

 

Please use the below mentioned code snippet to get the buttons visible in the Build-in Windows PDF reader app,

doc.Form.SetDefaultAppearance(false);

 

Please try this and let us know if you have any questions.
