I have a PDF document with several form fields in it.

I filled every field with a unique value 1,2,3,4....a,b,c,d,e using SetFormFieldValue and UpdateAppearanceStream functions. Afterwards i call SaveToFile.

In the written PDF file the values are wrong 2 fields are empty and several other contains same value, e.g. several formfields with 'c' or several with 'b'.

I inspected the PDF and there are many fields with same name, but i think QuickPDF should be able to handle them differently based on index instead of name anyway?

Also some fields are named with speciel letters like 'å' in "Fråndatum.", could this be an issue?

Best regards

hmm, adobe reader works the same way, if you edit a formfield with a named used by other form fields, then all are updated. I guess its not a bug, just up to me to loop and update all indexes that have same name as the field i am changing.
