PDFFillableform -values not showing up in tiff

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   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.
