How to set properties of 'subfields'?

[[email protected]]

Hi,

I am working with an existing PDF that has 3 instances of a text field, "signDate". When I examine the PdfTextBoxFieldWidget for this field, it has 3 WidgetItems, which I am guessing somehow represent the 3 instances.

I want to set the ForeColor and Font for all instances. When I do this:

Dim fld As Spire.Pdf.Widget.PdfTextBoxFieldWidget = [this is set to my field]
fld.ForeColor = New PdfRGBColor(0, 0, 255)

it works fine for the FIRST instance of the field on the resulting PDF. How do I set the forecolor for the other instances? The WidgetItems do not have the ForeColor property.

Same question with the Font property.

In summary, I really do not understand the organization/representation of PDF fields with multiple instances. And I could not find any documentation on this topic.

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm sorry, I did not make my question clear. I do not have a problem setting the font, or forecolor, of a field. What I need to do is set those for each instance of the field.

For example, on my PDF, there is a field "signDate" that occurs three times. When I open the PDF in Acrobat, they appear in the Fields list as signDate#0, signDate#1, and signDate#2. But when I set the font of the field using the line of code you gave as an example, only the first of these, signDate#0, actually is set. My question is, how can I set the font for signDate#1 and signDate#2 also?

I attempted to loop through the field widgets items, as below, but there is no font property for the widget item.

Code: Select all

' There are 3 instances of field "signDate" on the PDF.
' The WidgetItems.count property for that field is 3.
If fld.Name = "signDate" Then
    fld.Font = New PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 15)
    For i As Integer = 0 To fld.WidgetItems.Count - 1
        fld.WidgetItems(i).Font =..[No such property]..
    Next
End If


I hope that makes my question clearer.

Thank you.
