Questions about form field support

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Sorry if this is the wrong place for these questions.

    I downloaded the PDFViewDemo today to test your control. I am primarily interested in the following features:
    1. ability to view a PDF document
    2. support for PDF AcroForms
    3. support for Livecycle forms

    I see from the demo that PDF documents appear to render properly but I am having a problem with forms, specifically form fields. I used sample forms that I created in Acrobat, one AcroForm and the other a LiveCycle form. Each form has labels, checkboxes, radio buttons, edit fields, combo boxes, and a list box.

    For both form types, I had the same results:

      - the combo boxes did not render at all
      - none of the fields allowed interactive editing (the user could not make changes to a field from within the viewer)
      - the option to "Show and modify Acro-Fields" always displayed an empty dialog window despite my having almost 10 fields defined


    Can you verify if what I am seeing is expected behavior? Using wpViewPDF (in Delphi 7 if it matters), should I be able to view a PDF form properly? Are any form field types not supported? Should the user be able to make changes to form fields (to the CONTENT, not altering the fields themselves) within the viewer?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    In current version there are no editable fields.

    It is possible to read the fields and write to the fields under program control, but there are no inplace fields.

    This is planned, but we want to implement a stable solution which does not have to use windows edits due to bad experiences in previous experiment.

    Livecycle is not supported.
