I have a problem setting default value into a form with text and combo.

I can set all value using FormFieldvalue() (but then I have to call FlattenFormField() to show the data to user and he/she cannot change data interctively) or use a default value that seems the better choice.

But even if I set the value using FormFieldDefaultValue() when I open the pdf saved after setting value all fields are empty. Note that if I ask the content of default I get the value.

Is there something I've forgotten ?

I'm working under VC++ VS2005 not managed code using DLL as COM Object version 5.22.

Thanxs

If I don't recall wrong, there are some similar "issues" when making form fields in Acrobat Reader also. (They stay empty..) As stated for the SetFormFieldDefaultValue function; This is the value which is shown when the reset button is pressed, if one is on.

I'm not aware of any related "reset function" in the library, so the only solution might be retrieving the default value and using it with the SetFormFieldValue function.

The only function that seem (remotely) "related" would be the SetNeedAppearances function, but I doubt it really is..
