PDF Form Filling

[Adam Snider]

I am trying to fill out a PDF form using the PDFLoadedDocument object. When I run the code, it all works great, but the pdf document I originally open (to fill out) can no longer be accessed because it says it is in use - as long as my code is running. Once I shut down the code (program), I can access the original pdf.

So it seems that I am not propertly disposing of the object. I am doing loadedDoc.close and loadedDoc.Dispose, but that doesn't seem to release the original PDF. Do you know how I can accomplish this?

Also, when I do a form fill, it flattens the pdf document, such that I can no longer edit the pdf form fields if I open it in Adobe Reader. I have loadedDoc.Form.Flatten = False, but it still flattens it. Any ideas?

I am using Adobe Reader 9.3.3.
Visual Studio 2005, Windows XP.
Syncfusion ver 7.202.0.37

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your interest in Essential Studio.

We can completely dispose the objects used by the PdfLoadedDocument class by using the "PdfLoadedDocument.Close(bool completely)" method. The "Close()" dispose only the common objects. Please refer the sample for more details.
