Font of text fields in a form is changed when being filled by an application

We have a fillable form which consistes of several text fields. The fields have Arial Bold font. If we fill these fields with Acrobat Reader, the font works fine. But when we fill the form using iTextSharp 5.5.6, some fonts are no longer bold. Please see the attached Form_1037.pdf. The Date Printed field is bold while the Member Number field is not.

How to set the form to prevent the fonts being changed?

Thank you, Yong

Hi Young

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described when filling the PDF form with itextsharp application the font chages

The itextsharp is a non Adobe application. As mentioned, when filling the form with Adobe Acrobat Reader application the font remains the same and doesnot changes. It is the ideal procedure to download and save the form to your computer first and then open it with Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC application.

Hope this information will help

Hi Amal,

Thank you for your help. We developed an applicatoin using iTextSharp to auto fill PDF forms with data from our database. The purpose is to fix the forms so that our application can work properly with the desired fonts set in the forms. Only this particular form has this inconsistency and other forms work fine.

Thanks,

Yong

The two fields "MemberNumber" and "DatePrinted" behavior differently.

The number filled in the "MemberNumber" field is not bold when the blue field highlight color shows. If you click the number and the blue field highlight color disappear, the number becomes bold.
