Hi, 

We have a requirement where we need to populate editable fields in PDF with our data.
The problem when we open the pdf we are not able to identify the input fields.
Q1: Is there any way we can identify the input fields in pdf ? We should be able to pick and update its value programmatically

We were trying one way in which we are creating the pdf content in Word and then trying to convert it to pdf which should contain all prefilled data.
Q2: Do we have any API/utility that helps us convert the .docx file to editable PDF or .pdf ?

 

Thank you

Rakesh Sorathiya

In Adobe Acrobat use Tools > Prepare Form and you will see the form fields.

By "View SDK" do you mean Adobe's "PDF Embed API" (not a part of the Acrobat SDK)? Or something else?

The Acrobat SDK can't create fillable forms. For this you need Adobe Acrobat.
