Good day,

I have a pdf form with textfield in it, whe I opened it in adobe reader, I can fill up and set some text format such as bold, italics, underline, etc., I have a program that allows user to set basic formatting (bold,underline, italics) I want that value to fill my textfield, but it does not get formatted as I expected, my <b>text</b> tags are still displayed instead of parsed.

How can I possibly do it?

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have analyzed your requirement. We can able to fill the form fields with text format (bold, italic, underline and strikeout) at a time in PDF document. Please refer the below code snippet for more details,

//Create a new PDF document

PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();

//Add a new page to the PDF document

PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();

document.Form.SetDefaultAppearance(false);

//Create a textbox field and add the properties

PdfTextBoxField textBoxField = new PdfTextBoxField(page, "FirstName");

textBoxField.Bounds = new RectangleF(0, 0, 100, 20);

textBoxField.ToolTip = "First Name";

//Set the font with style

textBoxField.Font = new PdfStandardFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 12, PdfFontStyle.Bold | PdfFontStyle.Italic | PdfFontStyle.Underline | PdfFontStyle.Strikeout);

textBoxField.Text = "Hello World Hello";

//Add the form field to the document

document.Form.Fields.Add(textBoxField);
