PdfAcroFormFacade.GetTextFormField(String) Method

Gets a specific text form field’s properties.

Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Pdf.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Pdf.Core

#Declaration

public PdfTextFormFieldFacade GetTextFormField(
    string fullName
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
fullName String

The form field name.

#Returns

Type Description
PdfTextFormFieldFacade

An object that contains the form field properties.

#Remarks

The PdfTextFormFieldFacade object contains form field and widget properties without access to the form field’s inner structure. Use the Widgets property to get the form field widgets’ settings.

The code sample below divides one form field into equally spaced positions (combs) and enables multiline text in the other form field:

using (PdfDocumentProcessor pdfDocumentProcessor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
    pdfDocumentProcessor.LoadDocument("Documents//FormDemo.pdf");

    PdfDocumentFacade documentFacade = pdfDocumentProcessor.DocumentFacade;
    PdfAcroFormFacade acroForm = documentFacade.AcroForm;
    PdfTextFormFieldFacade visaField = acroForm.GetTextFormField("VisaNo");

    //Divide field text into equally spaced positions:
    visaField.InputType = PdfTextFieldInputType.Comb;
    visaField.Multiline = false;

    //Limit the number of inserted characters:
    visaField.MaxLength = 8;

    //Enable multiline text in the text field:
    PdfTextFormFieldFacade addressField = acroForm.GetTextFormField("Address");
    addressField.Multiline = true;

    addressField.Scrollable = true;
    addressField.SpellCheck = false;
    pdfDocumentProcessor.SaveDocument("FormDemo_new.pdf");
}
