I have a PDF Fillable form which I am able to successfully manipulate and update the field values and save it as a pdf but when I try to render it as a tiff or any other image - it just shows the empty form.

I even tried Flatteining the fields.

Hi aa!

You don't need the flatten-functions for this.
Please have a look at:
QP.SetNeedAppearances
QP.SetFormFieldValue
QP.UpdateAppearanceStream
...in the same sequence then it'll work for you.
Sometimes there are fieldvalues for formfields like "visible" or/and "printable".
If these properties are set on "no" then you won't see/print the values...

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Hello Ingo,

Thanks for your reply but that didn't help either,

I tried making the form fileds Visible and then Visible (Print Only) and that too didn't help.

I just realized that I am using a XFA form.

SetFormFieldValue doesn't work for the fields in my form and thus I am using SetXFAFormFieldValue.

Do I need to handle this differently if it is AFA form.

I deeply appreciate your help.

thanks.

Okay - all confused. The form type if I open in LiveCycle Designer - the PDF Render format is a PDF Statis form, but to set the form field values I have to use the SetXFAFormFieldValue.

SetFormFieldValue gives an error - Type Mismatch.
