does it support to use VBA to edit XFA pdf?

 

I am able to get the field value with below path:

 

jso.getfield("residualValueForm[0].en[0].SectionA[0].TableGeneralInfo[0].RowIssuer[0].issuer[0]").Value

 

but I am not able to update the field using the same path or resolvenode with either of below:

 

jso.getfield("residualValueForm[0].en[0].SectionA[0].TableGeneralInfo[0].RowIssuer[0].issuer[0]").Value = "1"

 

jso.xfa.resolvenode("residualValueForm[0].en[0].SectionA[0].TableGeneralInfo[0].RowIssuer[0].issuer[0]").rawvalue = "1"

 

jso.xfa.resolvenode("forms.residualValueForm.en.SectionA.TableGeneralInfo.RowIssuer.issuer").rawvalue = "1"

jso.xfa.form.residualValueForm.en.SectionA.TableGeneralInfo.RowIssuer.Issuer.rawValue = "1"

The problem here is no actually VBA. It is JavaScript. XFA forms have an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT JavaScript implementation, In particular, getField does not exist at all. You need to refer to the XFA JavaScript reference.

In this case, is it feasible to fill in XFA form via VBA? "XFA JavaScript reference" is eligible to reference via VBA?

 

If yes, do you know where I can get sample code? Thank very much

Hello, i am in a same problem. I am new to this and can not seem to make sense of how to write values to the form. I have also tried the same variations as you mention above with resolvenode.  Any sample code help is greatly appreciated. thanking you in advance.
