ReplaceText returning error: Illegal characters in path

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

Having problems getting ReplaceText to work using C# .NET and a licensed version of PDF.Kit

I get the following error on the line:

editor.ReplaceText("test", "text");

Here is the sample code:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Aspose.Pdf.Kit.License lic = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.License();

lic.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.Kit.lic"); 

        </p><p>Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfContentEditor editor = new Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfContentEditor();
        editor.BindPdf("c:\temp\test.pdf");
        </p><p>editor.ReplaceText("test", "text");
        </p><p>editor.Save("c:\temp\replace.pdf");
    </p><p>}

The PDF is confidential and I cannot share it publicly, can I send it to you directly over email? What is your address.

Thanks!

Hi Shawn,

I have tested this issue at my end and noticed that the problem occurs only when I use the following line of code:

editor.BindPdf(“c:\tempfiles\test.pdf”);

However, if I modify this as shown below (adding @ sign at the start of the path), the ReplaceText method works fine:

editor.BindPdf(@"c:\tempfiles\test.pdf");

Please try the above change at your end as well. Also, please make sure that you’re using the latest version of the component at your end.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.
Regards,
