Issue with opening filled PDF in Adobe Reader

[Saurabh D]

Hi,

I'm running into a problem when using the PDF API. Please refer to the attached project. When I run the project and click on the Download button, the controller opens a PDF file and sets the value in each form field, and returns the file as a File.

When the file downloads back, I open it in Chrome browser and can see the value set in all fields as shown in screenshot 1. However, when I open this document in Adobe Reader, all the fields show as blank as shown in screenshot 2. Can you please advise what may be causing this.

Thanks.

Hi Saurabh,   

  

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.   

  

We have analyzed the reported issue and suspect that the issue may occurs due to disable of form fields appearance. Kindly use the below code snippet to overcome this issue since SetDefaultAppearance(false) will creates the appearance manually,   

  

//Load PDF document   

PdfLoadedDocument document = new PdfLoadedDocument(bytes);  

  

//Set default appearance   

document.Form.SetDefaultAppearance(false);  

  

foreach (var field in document.Form.Fields)  

{  

    if (field.GetType().Name.Equals("PdfLoadedTextBoxField", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))  

    {  

        ((PdfLoadedTextBoxField)field).Text = "test";  

    }  

    if (field.GetType().Name.Equals("PdfLoadedCheckBoxField", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))  

    {  

        ((PdfLoadedCheckBoxField)field).Checked = true;  

    }  

}
