Message : I have started to evaluate Aspose.Pdf.Kit and have run into the a problem with combo boxes. It seems that the demo code works but not completely. The document is updated and when I open the new document Acrobat 6.0 the data is in the dropdown. It is white text on a blue background. However, when I click or tab into the field the value disappears. This does not happen with the filled in textboxes. In Acrobat 8.1, the document fields appear blank. I do not think this is a problem with the versions of Acrobat. I think this is a problem with how the data is saved in the document. Any help is appreciated.

I have tried this new dll with the same result. The combo box values do not appear in Acrobat 8.0. I don’t know if it matters but this new dll is compiled on the 1.1 runtime. I am using the 2.0 runtime of .Net.

Hi,

Could you please share your Pdf document and the code you are using to fill the Combo.

Thanks.

This is the code:

tmpPdf = New Aspose.Pdf.Kit.Form(aTemplate, aTempDir + "\" + CStr(aResultSet.Description))
For Each keys In tmpPdf.FieldsNames
tmpRowArray = bd.Select("FQ_XML_NAME LIKE '" & keys & "*'", "FA_SEQ")
For Each tmpRow In tmpRowArray
Select Case tmpRow.Item(3).ToString
Case "Check-box", "Radio-button", "Drop-down list box"
If UCase(keys) = UCase(tmpRow(7)) Then
If Not tmpRow.IsNull(1) Then
If tmpRow(1) = "SELECTED" Then
DDLText = Trim(tmpRow(5))
Try
tmpPdf.FillField(keys, DDLText)
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New System.Exception("Field failure:" & keys & " in " & aTemplate)
End Try
End If
End If
End If
Case "Multi-line text box", "Single line text box"
If UCase(keys) = UCase(tmpRow(7)) Then
If Not tmpRow.IsNull(1) Then
DDLText = tmpPdf.GetField(keys)
If Trim(DDLText) = "" Then
DDLText = Trim(tmpRow(1))
Else
DDLText = DDLText & Chr(31) & Chr(11) & Trim(tmpRow(1))
End If
Try
tmpPdf.FillField(keys, DDLText)
Catch ex As Exception
Throw New System.Exception("Field failure:" & keys & " in " & aTemplate)
End Try
End If
End If
End Select
Next
Next
tmpPdf.Save()

Dear am_rr,

We have found the reason of this problem. It lies on the interpretting syntax for Combo Box within different Adobe Reader versions, as we estimated before. This will be solved in about two or three days and the newest release will contain the hotfix.

Best regards.
