.Net Dynamic to Standard works some times

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We have some live cycle pdf’s which we want to flatten to be able to redact. I am using this code:
doc.Form.Type = FormType.Standard;
doc.Flatten();
doc.Save(tbOutputLocation.Text + “\” + dlFilename + “FLATTENED.pdf”, SaveFormat.Pdf);

Only some of them seem to convert. We are using Aspose.PDF 18.1.0 for .NET.
I attached 2 files, 1 a contact log that does not convert any data, and 1 family support referral which works perfectly. Any feed back on these would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

@jmacdonnell,

We have tested your problematic PDF document with the latest version 18.2 of Aspose.PDF for .NET API and the output PDF is fine. This is the output PDF document: Contact LogNot Working_Out.pdf (321.2 KB)

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply, unfortunately the output you sent me is also missing the information that was filled in the original pdf. The first box had test written in it but after converting it is empty. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 to view the pdf. Are you seeing test in the first box after converting to Standard?

We are afraid PDFNET-44334 has not been resolved yet. Moreover, would you please share the code snippet that you are using to change form type. Before sharing requested code, please ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.10.

Hi, yes we have updated to 19.10.0 . the issue is the same code as above
doc.Form.Type = FormType.Standard;
doc.Flatten();
doc.Save(tbOutputLocation.Text + “\” + dlFilename + “FLATTENED.pdf”, SaveFormat.Pdf);

for some reason its changing the date value in the file I have attached above.
