Hi Murali,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
As per issue id: PDFNEWNET-34526 I
have got a feedback from the development team. Please move
xml stream position to begin before calling ImportXml() to fix the issue as
mentioned below.
form.BindPdf(fs);
outputXml.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
form.ImportXml(outputXml);
In our upcoming version of
Aspose.Pdf for .NET v7.6, seeking the stream position to begin will be added to
Form.ImportXml method so that it is not required explicitly setting.
Regarding availability of
Aspose.Pdf for .NET v5.9, I will check it and get back to you.
Any update on the 5.9 PDF.kit.dll? Would it be possible for you to procure it soon as we have a high priority deliverable on-hand.
Hi Murali,
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delayed response.
Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET 5.9.0 is quite old release and I am afraid the product release versions older than one year are removed from download section. Furthermore, since Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET has been merged into Aspose.Pdf for .NET, we encourage our customers to use the latest release versions.
The solution you gave fixed the issue about security, but unfortunately the problem about drop-down list still exist. In the attached generated PDF, you will see on page 3 (“Domestic Benefit/National Stage Information” section, “Prior Application Staus” field) that when drop-down list has the “Patented” value, then the fields that are displayed on the row just after/below are not correct.
If you change the value in the drop-down list to “Pending” (or any other value than “Patented”) then come back again to “Patended”, you will see that the displayed fields become different (4 fields instead of 2)
We had already raised this issue more than one year ago, and this had been fixed with 5.9 Aspose.Pdf DLL version. Now we have made the necessary to renew our license, what can be done to fix this issue asap please?
Thanks for sharing the details and sorry for delayed response.
I have tested the scenario while using the resource files shared over 426939link and I have used the code snippet shared against 432765link and as per my observations, the drop down value is not being selected against field Prior Application Status. Can you please share the data file which can help us in replicating this issue. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
As I have shared earlier, when I have used the previously shared PDF file, code snippet and data files, the value of drop down is not being filled. But when I have viewed the resultant PDF file which you have shared, the drop down contains the value. Can you please again share the resource files which can help us in replicating this issue. I have tested the scenario with Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.6.0. We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
Thanks for again sharing the source/template PDF form. I have again tested the scenario using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.6.0 while using the attached data files and following code snippet but as per my observations, the “Prior Application Status” drop down present in “Domestic Benefit/National Stage Information” has no value selected. See attached sb0014 - 02Jan2013.pdf which I have just generated. However the PDF file which you have shared SB14-with-patented-problem.pdf contains the value in drop down. Can you please confirm that the data sources which I am using are different or there is some other issue while filling the data in respective form field. We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
[C#]
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(@“c:\pdftest</span>DataSetXml (4).xml”);
XmlDataDocument dataXmlDoc = new XmlDataDocument(ds);
XslTransform xslTran = new XslTransform();
//FileStream outputXml = new FileStream();
string tempFile = “”;
tempFile = @“c:\pdftest\out.xml”;
FileStream outputXml = new FileStream(tempFile, FileMode.Create);
xslTran.Load(@“c:\pdftest</span>PTO-SB-14+XSLT (5).xml”);
xslTran.Transform(dataXmlDoc, null, outputXml);
ImportXml(@“c:\pdftest</span>sb0014 - 02Jan2013.pdf”, outputXml);
<o:p> </o:p>
private void ImportXml(string templatePdf, FileStream xml)
{
Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form form = new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.Form();
//form.DestFileName = destFileName;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(templatePdf, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
form.BindPdf(fs);
xml.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
form.ImportXml(xml);
form.Save(fs);
fs.Close();
}
I am not sure to understand where you got your xml data, but to give you an idea, “Patented” data can be found in “”.
And in your xslt you can see that this value is populated by <xsl:for-eachselect=".//Query15"> but your xml data does not contain any Query15 entry.
If you want to easily check which node corresponds to which data, you can simply open the final PDF file, and make an export in xml from Acrobat Reader.
Can you please retry/investigate using some value in Query15?
Thanks for sharing the details and sorry for the late response.
I have tried adding value for Query15 in XML file but I am afraid I am still unable to populate the date in source PDF document. Can you please share the data file which can help us in replicating this issue. We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
As I already told you, you could have simply taken the pdf with problems, and export the data as xml. Then from this xml data you could have tested your ImportXml feature to see the problem…
Anyway please find attached the required file. You will have to locate the node to find the “Patented” case. Then you can see additional information available in sub-nodes.
I have again tested the scenario using data.xml file and xslt file + code snippet shared in435425 post and as per my observations, nothing seems to be appearing in resultant PDF form. The data does not seem to be present in PDF form. I have used sb0014 (1).pdf as input form.
Can you please again test the scenario at your end.
PS, I have been able to notice the value Patented in source data.xml file. See attached image file.
Is there any way that we can have a call or a webex? Otherwise I am afraid that this issue will never be solved. In addition, what I don’t understand is that when we first raised this issue using Aspose.Pdf.Kit 5.6, your dev team had taken this issue into account and had found a solution in 5.9, so how possible is it that they lost the corresponding changes? Thanks
I am afraid we do not offer phone support for technical issues. However we may consider having WebEx or other session in which you can drive me through the steps to reproduce this issue. In fact I have been trying to use the resource files (xml, xslt, pdf) to replicate the issue over my end but I am afraid its no reproducing i.e. either the Patented value is not selected from drop down or the whole PDF remains blank.
Once again, can you please share the fresh copy of XML, XSLT and source PDF file (if its different from the one shared over 435384) so that I can again give it a try to replicate this problem. We are really sorry for your inconvenience.
You may catch me over LiveChat from (07:00-AM GMT) to (12:00-PM GMT).
Ok sorry, the last time I uploaded the “final” xml, I mean the one to be directly imported in PDF, ont the original XML data. This time, please find attached an XML file that contains the necessary data for node.
I
have tested the scenario and I am able to reproduce the same problem. For the
sake of correction, I have logged it in our issue tracking system as PDFNEWNET-34854. We
will investigate this issue in details and will keep you updated on the status
of a correction. <o:p></o:p>
