'PdfLoadedForm' does not contain a definition for 'ExportData' and no extension method 'ExportData' accepting a first argument of type 'PdfLoadedForm' could be found

Hi!

I'm trying to evaluate Syncfusion for PDF generation part. So I just started to create some logic as a separate Class Lib. But when I try to do this https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-forms#export-pdf-file-to-fdf it doesn't compile giving me the error.

I added Syncfusion.Comression.Portable and Syncfusion.Pdf.Portable to the project but ExportData is not there. What am I missing?

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

 

At present, we do not have support for exporting PDF file to FDF in ASP.NET Core platform. We have added this feature to our feature request list. We will let you know once this feature is implemented.
