Save Fillable PDF Form

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, 

I have a Fillable/Savable PDF form (Acroforms fields) with dozens of fields which can be save after filling fields manually with Acrobat Reader.

I want to pre-fill some of the fields with data coming from a database using SetFormFieldValueByTitle. It works fine but after saving the PDF with SaveToFile, the PDF is not savable any more when I open it with Acro reader (to complete manually the missing fields).

What can I do ?

Thanks for your help.

Fred

	Fred, It sounds like the PDF file is using UsageRights and XFA fields. You could try calling QP.RemoveUsageRights(); QP.RemoveXFAEntries(0); We don't support all XFA variations as it is a proprietary Adobe extension which they like to protect. Andrew.
