Rich Text fields in PDF Forms

Does Aspose.PDF support filling of rich text fields in PDF Forms?

I tried setting the RValue on RichTextBoxField. I get nothing visible in the field when using RichTextBoxField, but I suspect I might have to set a flag and / or fiddle with the appearance.

Thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin,

Thanks for using our products.

I tested the scenario with below mentioned source code using Aspose.Pdf for .NET v6.8 and unable to find any issue in filling the RichTextBoxField. Resultant PDF document is attached for your reference. Kindly use the below code and check if it fits your need, if you still face any problem, kindly share the template document you are using with us. This will help us to identify the issue and reply back to you soon.

[C#]

Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form pdfForm = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form(@"d:\pdffiles\test.pdf", @"d:\pdffiles\output.pdf");
pdfForm.FillField("multilinetextfield", "A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");
pdfForm.Save();

Your example works great, however I need to fill the rich text box with rich text. The rich text is in the form of html. If I set Value in the RichTextBoxField or use FillField, it just appears as html. If I set the RValue (as I do in this example), nothing appears in the field.

Thanks,Robin

Here is my example test

string htmlText = "" + "

" + "It is hereby understood and agreed that the Insured Name is amended to read as follows:" + "

";

var pdf = new Document("Common Policy Declarations with field.pdf");

var richTBF = pdf.Form["big_html_formatted_field"] as RichTextBoxField;

richTBF.RValue = htmlText;

pdf.Save("aspose rtf filled.pdf");

I see from this old post that setting the rich text value was not supported. Is it fixed now?
