Hello, I have some problems with itext

Hello,

I need to read fields from pdf form (I have attached the form).

Here is the code, that I use:

string pdfTemplate = @"c:\example\ezoppex.pdf";

this.Text += " - " + pdfTemplate;

PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

foreach (DictionaryEntry de in pdfReader.AcroFields.Fields)

{

sb.Append(de.Key.ToString() +

Environment.NewLine);

}

textBox1.Text = sb.ToString();

textBox1.SelectionStart = 0;

After this code I should get all the fields in the textbox, but I see only empty textbox.

Thanks,

Vadim.

Maybe the problem is that the language is Czech? If yes, then please let me know whether it is possible to read these fields out and how?

Thanks,

Vadim.

This is an XFA-based form, NOT an AcroForm (AcroFields). You need to use an alternate method.

Use new XfaForm(PdfReader). You will then have access to the form/data.
