XDP- XFA Forms ( static )

Aspose.Total Product Family

Dear,

I spent some time on the documentation but did not find a clear answer, our main aim is to edit XFA Forms created with AdobeLive Cycle ( not only populating data, removing or moving elements change the position of some components renaming labels etc.) Is it possible to done either by editind the XDP Form itself, or by modifying the XDP file when a XDP rendering would be nice to save it as a PDF file.

Thanks in advice

Hello Zsombor,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

Aspose.Pdf is a component which is used to generate PDF documents from scratch. It provides the capabilities to convert Image, XML, HTML, text files and XSL-FO files into PDF format. I am afraid currently it does not support the capability to convert XDP and XFA forms into PDF format. I have logged this requirement as PDFNET-25477 in our issue tracking system under new features list. We will look into the details of this requirement and will keep you updated on the status of correction. We apologize for your inconvenience.

However, regarding the requirement of editing XFA Forms created with AdobeLive Cycle ( not only populating data, removing or moving elements change the position of some components renaming labels etc.) I think this feature cannot be accomplished with this component. However, we have a product named Aspose.Pdf.Kit which provides the capability to manipulate/edit existing PDF documents and PDF forms. But as your source document is XFA form rather than PDF, so I am entirely not certain that either it will fulfill your requirements or not. Therefore I have asked my fellow worker from respective team to answer this query. Please spare us little time and we will get back to you soon.

Hi,

Thanks for your fast reply, actually we do have the XFA Form as a PDF Form (static) so manipulating the pdf might be possible, XDP was just an other idea, because editing an XML file looks more familiar.

Hi Gimp,

Aspose.Pdf.Kit allows you to manipulate existing PDF forms. It provides the features to fill form fields, import and export data into different formats, add or remove existing fields, move fields to the new location, or change attributes of the existing fields. It also allows you to flatten PDF form fields. You may check the details and examples in this help section.
