This example demonstrates how to import AcroForm data (interactive form data) from XML format to a PDF document.
You can also import the AcroForm data from FDF, XFDF, and TXT formats, as described below.
To import interactive forms from XML format:
- load an interactive forms document (e.g., from a file path), in which the data will be imported, into the PDF Viewer using the PdfViewer.LoadDocument method;
- call one of the PdfViewerExtensions.Import overloaded methods, for example, with a specified XML file that contains imported data.
Note
You may need to add the DevExpress.
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.Pdf;
namespace ImportAcroForm {
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
InitializeComponent();
// Load a PDF document with AcroForm data.
pdfViewer1.LoadDocument("..\\..\\InitialAcroForm.pdf");
// Import the document from an XML format.
pdfViewer1.Import("..\\..\\FilledAcroForm.xml");
// Save the imported document.
pdfViewer1.SaveDocument("..\\..\\ImportedAcroForm.pdf");
}
}
}
