Add submit button

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello

I consider using Aspose.PDF (using last version) for adding a submit button to a pdf doc for publishing annotations to a web site.

I find this code in the doc

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor add = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor("docin.pdf", "docout.pdf");
add.AddSubmitBtn("btnSubmit", 1, "Envoyer", urlPublication, 400, 20, 500, 50);
add.SetFieldAppearance("btnSubmit", AnnotationFlags.Print);
add.SetSubmitFlag("btnSubmit", SubmitFormFlag.XfdfWithComments);
add.Save();

I have a doc with a button who publish to the good url but :

  • The button is blank whith no captions
  • The export format is in html and not Xfdf with comments
  • After saving, the user can't add annotations and comments with acrobat reader 10.1.1. (the user can in the input doc)
  • The button is viewable and printable, it should be not printable

I try to alter the button after with ButtonField class but with no sucess :

Document doc = new Document("docin.pdf");

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor add = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor(doc);
add.AddSubmitBtn("btnSubmit", 1, "Envoyer", urlPublication, 400, 20, 500, 50);

ButtonField btn = doc.Form["btnSubmit"] as ButtonField;
btn.NormalCaption = "Envoyer";
btn.AlternateCaption = "Envoyer";

SubmitFormAction action = (SubmitFormAction) btn.OnActivated;
action.Flags = (int) SubmitFormFlag.XfdfWithComments;

doc.Save("docout.pdf");

Do you have a solution or best code ?

Best regards, Gilles

Hello

I have another problem with the submit button.

I have a document with an already created submit button with two actions :

  • Javascript action with a very little script (setting a textfield with the subject field of the document)
  • Submit action with a dummy url and xfdf export format option

I used the aspose lib to change the submit url with the code :

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor fe = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormEditor("docin.pdf", "docout.pdf");
bool retour = fe.SetSubmitUrl("btnSubmit", urlPublication);
fe.Save();

The publication url is modified but :

  • Javascript action is deleted
  • Submit action is altered : export format options is reseted to html

It seems, that is another bug, would you like create another report in your bugs report tool ?

Bests regards,
Gilles

Hello

I joined to this post two files docin.pdf and docout.pdf

The javascript on the submit button is

var idDocument = this.info.subject;

var txtId = this.getField("txtIdDocument");
if(txtId != null)
{
txtId.value= idDocument;
}

I hope this helps you solve the problem.

Bests regards

Gilles

  • After saving, the user can’t add annotations and comments with acrobat reader 10.1.1. (the user can in the input doc)

Can you please confirm this behaviour on attached resultant PDF document and see if the issue is resolved.

  • The button is viewable and printable, it should be not printable

Do you mean that when viewing the PDF form, the button should be visible and user can press it. However if the PDF form is printed, the button should not be printed along with page contents. Please share your comments.
