Actual query is on stackoverflow.com. Link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17557444/how-to-maintain-or-force-currency-formatting-in-pdf-with-aspose

Environment: Aspose.Pdf for .NET 8.2.0 and .NET framework 4.5.

See this PDF form and open in Adobe Reader. Enter any numeric value in currency textbox e.g. 123456. It is formatted like $1,234.56. Actual value is numeric, formatting is only for the display.

When I fill this form using Aspose.Pdf, the formatting is lost. See this form, which is created by Aspose.Pdf.

Sample code:


//open document
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDocument = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(dataDir + “form.pdf”);
//get a field
TextBoxField textBoxField = pdfDocument.Form[“Text2”] as TextBoxField;
//modify field value
textBoxField.Value = “123456789”;
//save updated document
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + “form_filled.pdf”);

Hi Saqib,


We are sorry for the delayed reponse. You may use AFNumber_Format function for field formatting. Please find a sample code snippet for the purpose. Hopefully it will help to accomplish the requirements.

Document doc = new Document("source.pdf");

TextBoxField field = doc.Form["textField"] as TextBoxField;

field.Value = "1200";

field.Actions.OnModifyCharacter = new JavascriptAction("AFNumber_Keystroke(2, 0, 1, 0, \"$\", true)");

field.Actions.OnFormat = new JavascriptAction("AFNumber_Format(2, 0, 1, 0, \"$\", true)");

doc.Save("out.pdf");

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.


Best Regards,
