I've hit a wall and am looking for some direction.
- I have altered the database query to generate the xml data with element names that match the form names.
- I have both an XDP and PDF template and have set the data source as the XML file and the `Preview` data source to the same.
- I have it looping through each each row and subsequent element, creating a named PDF using data from the XML.
This is where the problem arises. I am using iText v8.0.5 with the following snippet:
using (PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader(templatePathPDF), new PdfWriter(pdfOutputPath)))
{
PdfAcroForm form = PdfAcroForm.GetAcroForm(pdfDoc, true);
// Fill the form fields with XML data
foreach (XmlNode element in row.ChildNodes)
{
form.GetField(element.Name)?.SetValue(element.InnerText);
}
pdfDoc.Close();
}
Here it loops through all the fields and there values correctly but does not `SetValue` for any fields. From this, I backed up and added some debugging to `GetAllFormFields()` and write their `keys` to the console - which produces nothing. I'm leaning towards my lack of understanding on how XDPs and PDFs differ, but would think I if I can access the form, I should be able to at least list out the form fields.
Any thoughts (aside from addon service) would be greatly appreciated.
