Post subject: | Bug when flattening form | ||
Hello, I found a bug flattening a form. When I flatten a document, the fields that contain a "." are not flattened while other fields do. Here is the original document: Attachment: form.jpg [ 65.52 KiB | Viewed 16394 times ] And this is the result: Attachment: formfilled.jpg [ 59.19 KiB | Viewed 16394 times ] The url to the original file: http://www.navarra.es/NR/rdonlyres/1773 ... eneral.pdf The only thing I do is: Code: // Load form pdf var document = PdfReader.Open("form.pdf"); // Flatten the form document.Flatten(); This way the result is the same: Code: // Load form pdf var document = PdfReader.Open("../../testFiles/form.pdf"); // Flatten the form PdfAcroForm form = document.AcroForm; if (form != null) { PdfAcroField.PdfAcroFieldCollection fields = form.Fields; for (int i = 0; i < fields.Count(); i++) { fields[i].ReadOnly = true; } } I´m using the latest version of PdfSharp (1.50.4845-RC2a). Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.. Thanks! Iñigo

Quote: When I flatten a document, the fields that contain a "." are not flattened while other fields do. The current implementation only sets fields on the outermost hierarchy-level to read-only, child-fields are not handled.Beside that, i do not see what setting fields to read-only has to do with flattening, even when it's done correctly. This process can be easily reverted by simply removing the read-only flag from the fields. I have not found an official description about what "flattening" actually means, but this sentence comes close to what i consider as "flattening": Quote: Forms flattening is the process of removing this separate form data and adding it as text, images and shapes into the actual PDF data stream. Source: https://blog.idrsolutions.com/2011/01/w ... lattening/The PDF will still look the same but the user can no longer interact with the forms. I am in the process of evaluating the current 1.5 release for our production environment. We are currently using a custom 1.32 version, where we have made some enhancements especially for Acro-Forms. I forked PdfSharp on GitHub and shifted over some changes we made for 1.32; that includes "real" Form-Flattening (meaning there are no fields anymore after flattening). Especially Font-handling for AcroFields may need a big overhaul as i think, the current state handles only the most basic font-related issues. (e.g. Fields rendered with embedded fonts using some special encoding are not handled correctly at all...) The current status of this fork is "experimental", as i have not (yet) done extensive testing with it. But please take a look, and report whether it works for you: https://github.com/packdat/PDFsharp/tree/AcroForms |
