Word legacy form fields (text, check-box, pull-down) - convert to PDF with aspose word - supported or not?

We have a client with a lot of word docs set up with the older, legacy form fields. We use Aspose word to convert and download these word docs as PDFs with the legacy fields active.

We recently updated our Aspose Word library and the client reports that the word conversion doesn’t work. Legacy fields are breaking.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it something we’ve missed during our upgrade? We can’t find any release notes or other information that indicates they’ve been depreciated. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Legacy fields are the options you find on the Developer tab, in the legacy tools section.

@KS_Toronto When PdfSaveOptions.PreserveFormFields property legacy form fields are exported to PDF as form fields.
