Problem with Rendering V7.13

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

   Hi Folks,

I'm using v7.13, and when I flatten the Form fields before printing, I get bizarre results.
Some fields print , some are blank, some hidden buttons print (should not) and
check boxes have the # 4 in them instead of a checkmark.

This form prints fine in Adobe and PDF exchange.

Suggestions ?

Brian

	Hi Brian! You can't compare a 100-mb-installation like adobe with the small QuickPDF-lib. If you want to print formfield-content you have to flatten them first - so you've done it the right way. Does the described behavior happen with all pdf-forms or only one special? Is the behavior the same with the new version QuickPDF 7.14? BTW: It's always better to post the relevant code snippet.

	Also, make sure that you're using the FlattenFormField function in the correct way before printing. This knowledge base article provides useful tips on how to flatten form fields in a PDF using the FormFieldCount and FlattenFormField functions. Something like this: Dim FieldIndex As Integer Dim FieldCount As Integer Dim LoopNumber As Integer FieldCount = QP.FormFieldCount() FieldIndex = 1 For LoopNumber = 1 to FieldCount If QP.FlattenFormField(FieldIndex) = 0 Then FieldIndex = FieldIndex + 1 End If Next

	I have the same issue generating pdfs. Data some how get mixed when flattening. Here is the code used to flatten: For i = CLng(pdf1.FormFieldCount) To 1 Step -1 If CStr(pdf1.GetFormFieldValue(i)) <> "" Then lret = pdf1.FlattenFormField(i) Else lret = pdf1.DeleteFormField(i) End If Next If I don't flatten data is fine, however, I have to flatten to merge all generated pdfs together. This needs to be resolved. thanks.
