Updating properties on PDF document

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

I have a small application, which cycles through PDF documents in a directory, and I’m trying to update the attributes of existing fields.

Disable multiline
Set font to Helvetica
turn bold off

This was the code for turning off multi line, but the changes do not stick in the new PDF document.
Can you advise me on where the issue might be?
Also on how to change font and bold setting so that they stick as well.

                For Each formField As Aspose.Pdf.InteractiveFeatures.Forms.Field In frmEdit.Document.Form
                    Dim typeOfField As String
                    typeOfField = formField.GetType().Name
                    If typeOfField = "TextBoxField" Then
                        Dim tbf As TextBoxField
                        tbf = formField
                        tbf.Multiline = False
                    End If
                Next
                frmEdit.Save()

@gmitchell.surgicalno,

Please try the following code:
VB.NET

Dim dataDir As String = "C:\Pdf\test650\"
'Open document
Dim pdfDocument As Document = New Document(dataDir & "Input.pdf")
' Get particular form field from document
Dim field As Aspose.Pdf.Forms.TextBoxField = TryCast(pdfDocument.Form("Text1"), Aspose.Pdf.Forms.TextBoxField)
' Set the font information for form field, e.g. "Helvetica" or "Helvetica  Bold"
field.DefaultAppearance = New DefaultAppearance("Helvetica", 10, System.Drawing.Color.Black)
field.Multiline = False
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + "Output.pdf")

If this does not help, then kindly send us your source PDF document. We will investigate and share our findings with you.

This close, however, on my pdf, I have multiple fields repeated. This is a label sheet, so I’m needing to update all the fields, however it appears to update only 13.
