I am trying to fill a PDF document using "SetFormFieldValue" function and after filling I want to print the filled document using "PrintDocument" function.
Both functions are working fine individually i.e. "SetFormFieldValue" is filling the PDF as I can see the filled PDF when I save it to local file. Also "PrintDocument" prints the PDF. The issue is "PrintDocument" prints the empty (unfilled) PDF document.
Following is the code I am using:
int isloaded = QP.LoadFromVariant(PDFStream, "");
QP.SetFormFieldValue(fieldNumber, "TextToSet");
int iPrintOptions = QP.PrintOptions(1, 1, "Title");
QP.PrintDocument("printerName", 1, QP.PageCount(), iPrintOptions);
Please confirm what I am missing here?

Hi Rizzz,
Regarding this case you have to know a bit about appearance streams:
http://www.debenu.com/kb/appearance-streams-pdf-form-fields/
Please read addionally about SetFormFieldPrintable:
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetFormFieldPrintable.php
After maintaining a form field the appearance stream should be set to value 1 to show/print the value in a pdf-viewer:

Here's a working sample from a user:

Cheers and welcome here,

Hi Ingo,
Thanks, it worked.
Setting and Updating appearance stream worked for me.
