How to convert XFA forms to PDF

[jorgevarona]

Is there a way to convert XFA forms to PDF?

[Jane.Bai]

Hello,

Thank you for your post.
What do you mean by "converting XFA forms to PDF"？
If you want to flatten the XFA forms, please refer to the below code.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile("sample.pdf");
PdfFormWidget form = doc.Form as PdfFormWidget;
form.IsFlatten = true;
doc.SaveToFile("output.pdf");

If it is not what you want, please specify your requirements in detail.
Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,

This does not work. My requirement is to be able to convert an XFA PDF document to a regular PDF document that can be opened by any browser without the use of the Adobe viewer.

Has there been any progress on this? Looking for this functionality as well

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
I am sorry to tell you that there is no significant progress so far. I got the news from our Dev team that there is a big difference on internal data structure between normal forms PDF and XFA forms PDF. Actually, flattening the XFA form field is a new feature for our Spire.PDF, I am afraid the new feature cannot be finished in a short time due to its complexity. Anyway, we will keep you informed about any progress of this issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.
Sorry this new feature is still not available at present. The internal data structure of the PDF containing the XFA form is more complicated, please spare us more time. Anyway, we will let you know as soon as this feature is implemented. Thanks for you patience and understanding.
