Fill XFA form and export XDP data
The following code opens an XFA form and programmatically fills a text field and selects items from drop-down lists and exports the data as XDP.
using (FileStream inFile = new FileStream("Purchase Order.pdf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
// open the source document
Document document = new Document(inFile);
TextField textField = document.Fields["form1[0].purchaseOrder[0].header[0].txtOrderedByCompanyName[0]"]
as TextField;
textField.Value = "My Company";
DropDownListField countryField = document.Fields["form1[0].purchaseOrder[0].header[0].drpOrderedByCountry[0]"]
as DropDownListField;
countryField.DropDownListValue = countryField.Options[1]; // second option ('Canada')
DropDownListField stateField = document.Fields["form1[0].purchaseOrder[0].header[0].drpOrderedByStateProv[0]"]
as DropDownListField;
stateField.DropDownListValue = stateField.Options[2]; // third option ('Manitoba')
XdpFormData xdp = document.Export(SubmitFormat.Xdp, false) as XdpFormData;
xdp.Path = "Purchase Order.pdf";
using (FileStream xdpFile = new FileStream("Purchase Order_data.xdp", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
xdp.Write(xdpFile);
}
}
