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.

Cheers, Ingo

Also, make sure that you're using the FlattenFormField function in the correct way before printing. http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/kb/index.php?action=artikel&cat=3&id=30&artlang=en - 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

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.
