Fill in Form - Object not found

Hi,


I am trying to fill in our PDF form with the code below, The template.FieldName returns all the field names as expected, and the case statement get hit appropriately.
However upon executing template.FillField(field, DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString()), it returns Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Stack Trace is :

Code:
foreach (var fieldname in template.FieldNames)
{
var field = template.GetFullFieldName(fieldname);
switch (fieldname)
{
case “Date”:
{
template.FillField(field, DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString());
template.FlattenField(fieldname);
break;
}

case “NameAddress”:
{
template.FillField(fieldname, “This is Name and Address”);
break;
}

case “CustomerName”:
{
template.FillField(fieldname, “This is Customer Name”);
break;

}
}

Is there any update on this issue? I’m having the exact same problem in Aspose.Pdf for .NET 11.2, and I don’t see any reference to this issue in the release notes for subsequent releases.
