Add form fields to PDF in Delphi

[presleyd19685406]

Hello Guys

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. 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 an form field.

Almost certainly the best option is for you (or your users) to just open the file in Acrobat and use the form field editor. Reimplementing this is technically possible if you are an experienced C++ programmer and have a year or two to spend.

Thank you fro the reply

Yes, IN Delphi you can embed Acrobat reader as an Active X control. As shown in the image below

So It can only view PDF files, However can we embed Adobe PDF editor also as Active X control?

Like this

  The above image is of "Acrobat Pro" where we can edit form.

So my Question is : Can we embed Acrobat Pro into another application?

You can embed Acrobat Pro as a reader using the same interface. You cannot embed it with its full functionality.

Ok, Thank you for reply.
So in short Acrobat pro can only be used as a reader and not a editor when embedded into another application?

That is my understanding. I would be happy to be corrected.
