Hi!
I've problems while filling formfields. The new values are filled in (i can control it with GetFormField), the fields are visible and the types are text. What can be the reason that i can't see my field-content when opening the pdf-file with a reader? Even if i'm doing the text extraction i get the values... but they are inside ;-)
I've tried
SetFormFieldValue
FlattenFormField
SaveToFile
with no success.
I've tried
SetNeedAppearances(1)
SetFormFieldValue
UpdateAppearanceStream(x)
with no sucess.
The values are always inside but i've never seen them.
Thanks a lot for any helping tipps or a code snippet.
Best regards,
Ingo

I use SetFormFieldValueByTitle and it works always.

Hi!
I think i've working too long on this problem-pdf-example-file ;-)
Using other pdf-files all works :-))
Now there's still the question why i can't see my inputs in the problem-file.
I've found out now that i can see my inputs when i'm using the Acrobat Reader! With Foxit Reader i don't see my inputs in the problem-file - in other files it's okay with Foxit, too. What's so special in this file that i can see the inputs with Acrobat but not with Foxit?
In the file there are 48 formfields. Two are named "Name" and "Name.". They includes my first name "Ingo".
Perhaps somebody here wants to look at the file:

Thanks a lot for any hint or advice!
Best regards,
Ingo

I don't know if this is causing the problem with Foxit, but you normally use "."'s in PDF field names to show heirarchy, e.g. :
Customer.Name.First
Customer.Name.Last
Customer.Name.Middle
Customer.Address.Street
Customer.Address.City
etc.
Perhaps Foxit doesn't like the dangling "." at the end of the fieldname, and expects more.

Thanks a lot!
That seems to be logical for me ;-)
