PdfTextBoxFieldWidget will not fill all TextBoxes

[valimaties]

Hi.
I use a PDF Template file which contains only one page to fill some labels texts inside.
Which is weird is that all fields are replaced correctly, only one doesn't.


Here on the picture I write a text in the first left-top label text box directly in PDF file, and it will show the text on all TextBoxes. But on my code behind (csharp) when I set the Text value for the PdfTextBoxFieldWidget it replaces only the first one in the left-top label. Why is happening this?

I've debugged the problem and I've managed to find why this happens. It is because the textbox must rotate the text to 270 degrees, which I've made it by using the following code

Code: Select all

var fw2 = ((PdfFormWidget)doc.Form).FieldsWidget.OfType<PdfTextBoxFieldWidget>();
var fw = fw2.Where(x => x.Name.Trim().Equals(field)).FirstOrDefault();
var page = doc.Pages[0];
PdfGraphicsState state = page.Canvas.Save();
page.Canvas.TranslateTransform(fw.Location.X + 10, fw.Location.Y);
page.Canvas.RotateTransform(textRotation, new Point(10,20));
page.Canvas.DrawString(value, fieldFont, brush, 0, 0);
page.Canvas.Restore(state);


which works fine, but it will replace only one textboxfieldwidget, because all those textboxfields have the same name. In this case, I must find a way to be able to find all the others textboxfields position and to replace them also, or maybe there is another way to set the rotation of text inside a textboxfieldwidget.

Vali

I've solved the issue by using this code:

Code: Select all

foreach(var fi in fw.WidgetItems)
{
    var x = ((PdfTexBoxWidgetItem)fi).Location.X;
    var y = ((PdfTexBoxWidgetItem)fi).Location.Y;
    var page = doc.Pages[0];
    PdfGraphicsState state = page.Canvas.Save();
    page.Canvas.TranslateTransform(x + 10, y);
    page.Canvas.RotateTransform(textRotation, new Point(10, 20));
    page.Canvas.DrawString(value, fieldFont, brush, 0, 0);
    page.Canvas.Restore(state);
}


However, you have a misspelling in PdfTexBoxWidgetItem class, as it might be PdfTextBoxWidgetItem .
