Question

Fill PDF form using C#

Dear community,

I have some PDF forms (generated with Adobe Acrobat) I'd like to fill using my C# application.

I'd like to be able to fill and save (as another file) these documents programmatically (the field values would come from my app).

It looks like the FDF toolkit to be the solution but I found documentation for C/C++ and ActiveX only, not for C#.

And I has not been able to register the ActiveX in my Visual Studio project.

Do you know if the toolkit is compatible with C#? Do you know an alternative?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Do you use Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader?

The documents have been generated with Adobe Acrobat but they will be used from computers that have Adobe Reader only.

For Acrobat Reader you can use FDF files.
