Cannot retrieve form fields from a Signed PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

Hi,

I have created a PDF with fields using the method :-
pdf.facades.formEditor.AddField(FieldType.Text, "firstName", 1, 220, 580, 350, 565);

When I create the PDF and send it to a user who then fills it is and saves a signed copy.

I cannot retrieve the fields from the signed copy. Is this behaviour expected?


I have attached the signed pdf document

Thanks

I have tested the scenario and I am able to reproduce the same problem. For the sake of correction, I have logged it in our issue tracking system as PDFNEWNET-35404. We will investigate this issue in details and will keep you updated on the status of a correction.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Fadil,


Thanks for your patience.

We have further investigated the issue PDFNEWNET-35404 reported earlier and it does not seem to be a bug. The attached file (earlier shared document output2-signed.pdf) does not contain any form fields. Acrobat Reader/Adobe Acrobat is also not able to detect any field. So please create the fields in the document and try again.
