so there's only less you can do.
Check out which functionalities i've described are in the lite-version and then play a little bit...

Or you do it the other way and download the normal library and asking for an evaluation key limited for 30 days from here:

Here there are few first sample steps for your first steps:

How to get a value from a pdf form field:

  try
    QP := TDebenuPDFLibrary1211.Create;
    try
//     QP.UnlockKey('I have inserted my license key here');
       QP.LoadFromFile(FileName, '');
       If QP.EncryptionStatus > 0 Then
          QP.Decrypt;

       ffc := QP.FormFieldCount;
       if ffc > 0 then
          begin
             nresult := QP.FindFormFieldByTitle(FieldName);
             xresult := QP.GetFormFieldValueByTitle(FieldName);
// . . .


How to set values into a pdf form field:

  try
    QP := TDebenuPDFLibrary1211.Create;
    try
//     QP.UnlockKey('I have inserted my license key here');
       QP.LoadFromFile(FileName, '');
       If QP.EncryptionStatus > 0 Then
          QP.Decrypt;

       ffc := QP.FormFieldCount;
       if ffc > 0 then
          begin
            QP.SetNeedAppearances(1);
            QP.SetFormFieldValue( StrToInt(Trim(FieldName)), FieldValue );
            QP.UpdateAppearanceStream( StrToInt(Trim(FieldName)) );
//          QP.FlattenFormField( StrToInt(Trim(FieldName)) );
// . . .


Additionally here you'll find the developer guide.
Inside there's a section 4.10 regarding pdf forms:

if you're using an existing form then i think you want to read the inserted content?
This you can do with QuickPDF.
You can create a new pdf form with QuickPDF, too.
You can create a pdf form...

Hi eternity,

yes... with QuickPDF it's possible to fill out, read and/or save formfields.
To your system environment:
The old vba is 32 bit i think and you're working with the 64-bit-dll ... i don't think this will work ;-)
The other thing: QuickPDF uses unicode strings - so you have to convert the content from the old vba to unicode before using string functions from the library.
Details: DeleteFormField needs the index of a form field - not the name of a form field.
The other thing: A real deletion of a form field and setting a value as next action doesn't make sense ;-)
You should have a look here in the samples-section regarding form fields.
Here's a sample about how to create form fields:
https://www.debenu.com/kb/create-pdf-form-fields-programmatically/

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

hello I'm trying to create a code with the DebenuPDFLibrary64Lite1114 in vba to fill out a form and save it.
is it possible with this library?

i have made this code
Private Sub Comando0_Click()
Dim pdf As Object
Dim strmodello As String
Dim file As String

Set pdf = CreateObject("DebenuPDFLibrary64Lite1114.PDFLibrary")

Call pdf.LoadFromFile("C:\pippo\Modello.pdf", "")

pdf.SetNeedAppearances (0)


Call pdf.DeleteFormField(codicefiscale)

Call pdf.SetFormFieldValue(codicefiscale, "dng")


Call pdf.SaveToFile("C:\pippo\stampa.pdf")

Set pdf = Nothing
End Sub
where codicefiscale is the name of the field of the form
then i have the "error 438 propriety or method are not supported form object"
