Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor

#Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
Pdf |
A Pdf |
#Remarks
After the interactive form is changed, previously obtained interactive form data becomes invalid. The following operations change the interactive form:
- add new fields;
- flatten the form;
- merge documents with interactive forms;
- delete pages with interactive form fields.
Call the GetFormData method again to get valid interactive form data.
#Example
The code sample below uses PdfFormData to set form field values:
// Load a document with an interactive form.
using (PdfDocumentProcessor documentProcessor = new PdfDocumentProcessor()) {
documentProcessor.LoadDocument(filePath + fileName + ".pdf");
// Obtain interactive form data from a document.
PdfFormData formData = documentProcessor.GetFormData();
// Specify the value for FirstName and LastName text boxes.
formData["FirstName"].Value = "Janet";
formData["LastName"].Value = "Leverling";
// Specify the value for the Gender radio group.
formData["Gender"].Value = "Female";
// Specify the check box checked appearance name.
formData["Check"].Value = "Yes";
// Specify values for the Category list box.
formData["Category"].Value = new string[] { "Entertainment", "Meals", "Morale" };
// Obtain data from the Address form field and specify values for Address child form fields.
PdfFormData address = formData["Address"];
// Specify the value for the Country combo box.
address["Country"].Value = "United States";
// Specify the value for City and Address text boxes.
address["City"].Value = "California";
address["Address"].Value = "20 Maple Avenue";
// Apply data to the interactive form.
documentProcessor.ApplyFormData(formData);
// Save the modified document.
documentProcessor.SaveDocument(filePath + fileName + "_new.pdf");
