PDF "Hide" Action

[Philipp Lange]

PDFs support a "Hide" action which allows you to hide or show form fields.

Does Spire.PDF support this action? I can not find it anywhere in the library.

Hello,

Thanks for your iqnuiry.
Sorry to tell that our Spire.PDF doesn't support hiding form fields at present. Yet we have already added it as a new feature into our upgrade list, if it is achieved, we will inform you.

Sincerely,

I see, thank you for your reply. Is there an approximate timeline for this feature? (I don't need an exact date, I just want to know whether it's more 1 week or 1 year from now )

Hello,

Sorry I can't provide an estimated timeline at this moment. Our Dev team is developing the feature now, but it involves a large module, I'm afraid we need more time (more than 1 week) to achieve it. Anyway, we will spare no effort. If there is any significant progress, I will let you know immediately. Thanks for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
