Hello,
I am filling forms in pdf. I want use my own font as substitution for formfield form. I am loadingthis font with AddOpenTypeFontFromFile and calling SetFormFieldFont and SetFormFieldStandardFont with this font ref. This function return value 0, which is not set. When I cal name of GetFormFieldFontName font is still old one and fields are empty after FlattenFormField. Can you help me? I am using Debenu Quick PDF on Mac and Xcode. |

Good morning, I am not sure if this relates to the problem I had, but I was working on a project to fill form fields with rich text so I could use my own fonts, bold, italic etc. I found that when I used FlattenFormField it was also emptying the contents. Instead I used SetFormFieldReadOnly so that the contents remained.

I find recently, that I think font is loaded, but it cant set to formfields. Because setters returns me always value 0.

Is the text you are adding to the form field being done programatically rather than direct in the pdf?
If so, is it plain text or rich text?

Ok thank you, that rules out one problem I was having, I was using truetypefont not opentype font.
But looking at the requirements for AddOpenTypeFontFromFile it says to use SelectFont with the return value of AddOpenTypeFontFromFile to call it. So is AddOpenTypeFontFromFile giving a return value of 0 or SetFormFieldFont?

From what I can see, SetFormFieldStandardFont just uses a choice of 14 standard system fonts, whereas SetFormFieldFont will just use an index number. Have you tried running GetFormFontCount before and after AddOpenTypeFontFromFile to see if the available index count increases?
