Attaching a file from XML to a XFA PDF in C#

I am fairly new to coding with Aspose.PDF. Any help would be appreciated. We have successfully taken an XML string and populated it into an XFA PDF. However, the XML has a file attachment that does not get populated into the PDF. I have tried using the Aspose.PDF.Form.XFA.FieldNames to attach it separately. I used a for loop to spit out the values afterwards and I can see they were assigned successfully, but when I open the resulting file, I do not see the attached file. Also, I do not see any of the other values that were assigned using the Aspose.PDF.Facades.Form.SetXfaData().

@mandres,

We have tested your scenario with the latest version 17.12 of Aspose.Pdf for .NET API and can set XFA fields. You can retrieve the same values from XFA fields with Aspose.Pdf API. This is the output PDF: RR_Budget_1_4-V1.4_result.pdf (1001.5 KB). In order to attach files, please refer to this help topic: Working with Attachments

Thank you for the response. However, the result pdf file you posted does not show the Budget Attachment file in it (L. Budget Attachment).

I am trying to find a way to get the attachment to show up in that field.

Regards,
Matt

@mandres,

Kindly share a sample of the expected output PDF document. We will investigate and share our findings with you. Your response is awaited.
