Debenu Quick PDF Library - PDF SDK Community Forum : GetFormFieldTitle appends a period

I am using Delphi 7 and QuickPDF 16.x

I was curious if anyone knows why some field names returned from GetFormFieldTitle() method sometimes contains a period (.) at the end of the field name? And along the same lines it will return the actual field name I input when designing the PDF (without the period) but for that field there seems to be no valid Page data.

Like my other questions, I am using PhantomPDF 9.x to edit pdfs.

Below is an example of the code I am using to list out fields in the pdf.

for FieldIX := 1 to qpdf.FormFieldCount do begin

sLine := ' Pg: '+IntToStr(qpdf.GetFormFieldPage(FieldIX))+

' Ht: '+FloatToStr(qpdf.GetFormFieldBound(FieldIX, PDF_Bound_Height))+

' Wd: '+FloatToStr(qpdf.GetFormFieldBound(FieldIX, PDF_Bound_Width));

sortedFields.Add(PadR(qpdf.GetFormFieldTitle(FieldIX), maxFldWidth) + sLine) ;

end ;

A snippet of the output from the above code is:

IntRateChgeffective Pg: 0 Ht: 0 Wd: 0

IntRateChgeffective. Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 84.375

LateChargeAmount Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 45.75

LateChargeDays Pg: 0 Ht: 0 Wd: 0

LateChargeDays. Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 21.375

LateChargeGreaterLess Pg: 0 Ht: 0 Wd: 0

LateChargeGreaterLess. Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 57.75

LateChargeMinimum Pg: 0 Ht: 0 Wd: 0

LateChargeMinimum. Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 70.91

LateChargePercentage Pg: 0 Ht: 0 Wd: 0

LateChargePercentage. Pg: 1 Ht: 12 Wd: 48

For each of the fields listed above, there is only 1 instance of a field with those names actually in the pdf.

So for example I have only 1 field called LateChargeDays there is only one field.

Oddly enough some fields, such as LateChargeAmount, it seems to return the correct data, meaning there is not one with a period at the end and the page data is correct for the field without the period.

Thanks for any help understanding how this is all supposed to work and why.
