Fill in PDF interactive form in C# and VB.NET
GemBox.Pdf supports filling in a PDF interactive form.
Currently, only filling in of toggle button fields (PdfCheckBoxField and PdfRadioButtonField) is supported.
The following example shows how you can fill in check box and radio button fields in a PDF interactive form.
using System.Linq;
using GemBox.Pdf;
using GemBox.Pdf.Forms;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// If using Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
using (var document = PdfDocument.Load("%InputFileName%"))
{
// Set check box field checked state.
var marriedCheckBox = (PdfCheckBoxField)document.Form.Fields["Married"];
marriedCheckBox.Checked = true;
// Set check box field value.
var drivingLicenseCheckBox = (PdfCheckBoxField)document.Form.Fields["Driving License"];
drivingLicenseCheckBox.Value = "Yes";
// Set radio button field checked state.
// There are multiple radio button fields with name 'Gender' so
// set checked state only to the radio button field whose choice is 'Male'.
foreach (PdfRadioButtonField genderRadioButton in document.Form.Fields.Where(field => field.Name == "Gender"))
genderRadioButton.Checked = genderRadioButton.Choice == "Male";
// Set radio button field value.
// It is enough to set value to only one radio button field
// from a group of radio button fields with name 'Age'.
var ageRadioButton = (PdfRadioButtonField)document.Form.Fields["Age"];
ageRadioButton.Value = "18 - 39";
document.Save("Fill in Form.pdf");
}
}
