Question

Hello,

I am working on an application where I need to be able to edit existing PDF form and drop PDF form fields interactively on the file.

Form fields like drop down, text, multi line text, radio button, combo box. Currently I am using ActiveX controls to open PDF files in an Delphi application.

However I can only read the PDF form but I want to be able to edit it also like drop a form field.

The idea is to add Form fields on an existing PDF form and save it.

Questions:

  • Is there a way where we can interactively edit a PDF form to drop Form fields?
  • Can we embedded Adobe in Delphi to edit an existing PDF?
  • Can we create a PDF from scratch and add form fields to them interactively by using Adobe in Delphi?

Adobe is the name of the company, not the product. There are hundreds of products but you are probably interested in Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Reader, Adobe Reader. Please be specific, as the product really matters to what is possible. Adobe also make many SDKs; I suspect the Acrobat SDK is what you want. This has its own forum: Acrobat SDK . Before posting there, be sure to download the Acrobat SDK and install it so we can refer you to it as needed.

When you post there, please also clarify what you mean by "drop" in the case of form fields. Drag and drop? From where? Or just place automatically? Also when you say "embed editing" do you mean a GUI for editing in your Delphi form, or the ability to edit things programmatically.
