@lars.olsson Sure, you should simply enable PdfSaveOptions.PreserveFormFields option. For example see the following code:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Isert different types of form fields
builder.Write("CheckBox form field: ");
builder.InsertCheckBox("check1", false, 12);
builder.Writeln();

builder.Write("TextInput form field: ");
builder.InsertTextInput("text1", TextFormFieldType.Regular, "", "some default text", 0);
builder.Writeln();

builder.Write("ComboBox form field: ");
builder.InsertComboBox("combo1", new string[] { "item1", "item2", "item3" }, 0);

PdfSaveOptions opt = new PdfSaveOptions();
opt.PreserveFormFields = true;

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf", opt);
