Change value of form field

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

I want to change a value of a form field in a PDF document.
The field is ReadOnly, but anyway I don’t see it if I go through the fields or try to fill it.

I tried this:

            Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(fileNameTempPDF);
            foreach (Aspose.Pdf.Forms.Field formField in pdfDocument.Form.Fields)
            {
                if (formField.Name == "Beruf_copy1")
                {
                    if (formField.ReadOnly)
                        formField.ReadOnly = false;
                    formField.Value = "test";
                }
            }
            pdfDocument.Save(Path.Combine(fileNameTempPDF, fileNameTempPDF.Replace(".pdf", "_cleaned.pdf")));

Or this:

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form pdfForm = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form(fileNameTempPDF);
pdfForm.FillField(“Beruf_copy1”, “test”);
pdfForm.Save(Path.Combine(fileNameTempPDF, fileNameTempPDF.Replace(".pdf", “_cleaned.pdf”)));
pdfForm.Close();

Both don’t work. How can I do this?
The file is attached.

Hello,

thank you. With the latest version Aspose.PDF for .NET 22.3 it works (in .NetFramework 4.7.2).

We just still have a problem to compile it with netstandard 2.0. We get a warning "… instead of the project target framework ‘.NETStandard,Version=v2.0’.* *This package may not be fully compatible with your project.”
In your description there ist no netstandard 2.0 supported but netstandard 2.1. Ist this right? Normally it should work with netstandard 2.0 too. All your other products work with it.
We want to compile it with netstandard 2.0.

Best regards
Ringo
