FIeldType.DateTime throws not support error

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi,

I create fields by using FormEditor
var editor = new FormEditor(doc);

If I want to add FieldType.DateTime instead of text like this
editor.AddField(FieldType.Text, field.RefID, field.PageNumber, (float)field.Rect.LLX, (float)field.Rect.LLY, (float)field.Rect.URX, (float)field.Rect.URY);

I get an error about not supported.

Is there a way to include dateinput fields?

Thx
Christian

@Chris2Stein

Can you please share the complete definition of field object from your code snippet? We need it to test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

You can use your own definitions but tht is what I use at the moment (it ist generated dynamic)

editor.AddField(FieldType.DateTime, “Datum1”, 1, 70.85, 690.14, 82.95, 702.44);

I found this workaround

But at all I can insert text … during pdf fullfillment and there is no date selection …

We have enhanced the library and now the customer can use one of the code snippets:

Document doc = new Document();
doc.getPages().add();
com.aspose.pdf.facades.FormEditor editor = new com.aspose.pdf.facades.FormEditor(doc);
editor.addField(FieldType.DateTime, "Datum1", "Select Date", 1, 100, 700, 165, 720);
editor.addField(FieldType.DateTime, "Datum2", "12/12/2012", 1, 100, 740, 165, 760);
doc.save(dataDir + "output_1.pdf");

Document doc = new Document();
Page page = doc.getPages().add();
DateField dateField = new DateField(page, new Rectangle(100, 700, 165, 720));
dateField.setDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
dateField.setValue("12.12.2012");
doc.getForm().add(dateField);
dateField.init(page);
doc.save(dataDir + "output_2.pdf");
