Can't Save

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

Trying to test out your pdf.Form library. Keep getting ‘The given path’s format is not supported.’ when I try to save. Here is the code snippet I am trying out.

Dim objForm As New Aspose.Pdf.Form.Form(“c:\docs\dcTest.pdf”, “c:\docs\formsTest.pdf”)

objForm.FillField(“FirstName”, “JasperTaylor”)

objForm.FlattenAllFields()

objForm.FlattenField(“FirstName”)

objForm.Save()


Thanks,
Jasper

Dear Jasper,
Thank you for considering Aspose.

You can change the first line
Dim objForm As New Aspose.Pdf.Form.Form(“c:\docs\dcTest.pdf”, “c:\docs\formsTest.pdf”)

into the following:(add a “”)

Dim objForm As New Aspose.Pdf.Form.Form(“c:\docs\dcTest.pdf”, “c:\docs\formsTest.pdf”)

Best regards.

Dear Jasper,

Thanks for your considering Aspose.

The error is a bug in our Aspose.Pdf.Form. Your original code is right (only one ‘’ in the path ).

The hot fix can be downloaded [here](https://forum.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Pdf.Form/Fixes/Aspose.Pdf.Form.zip).

Sorry to have brought you so much inconvenience.

Best Regards.

Ken,

No problem. I could have always caught the exception and continued on. I will install the hot fix and let you know if that fixes it.

Thanks for your help,
Jasper
