Is there any possibility to control PdfViewer?
Some of PDFs we want load have Adobe Forms. PdfViewer supports filling it, but we want "recover" data.
Is there any possibility to recover this with PdfViewer, or at least "Save" actual state of PDF or Save/Get actual PDF before close to recover later with EO.PDF?
Regards

Thanks for your valuable feedback. The "Save" feature is on our list so it maybe implemented in the future.
I am not sure what you meant by "recover" data. Do you meant to read the form fields value from a PDF file that's already been filled? If that's what you need, you do not need to use the PdfViewer control. You can simply load the file with PdfDocument object and then check the object's Fields collection.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for you quick reponse.
About "Save" feature, have you any timing?
About "recover" data you are right, I meant to read the form fields value from a PDF file that's already been filled. I know EO.Pdf and PdfDocument too. Problem or questions here is that user fills PDF in PdfViewer. I can use PdfDocument to fill actual data from BD to PDF. I can use PdfViewer to show filled PDF to user. User can change o fill new values in PDF using PdfViewer. BUT, I have to force user to manually save PDF from PDF Viewer, and later in other button, search saved PDF to recover data from PDF to BD with PdfDocument. I want "save" programatically in PdfViewer Close event for ex. to recover data without user interaction, so user only "Open pdf, fill values, close pdf". Pdf here "replaces" .net form.

I see. So the only missing feature here is to save the contents from PdfViewer programatically. Is this correct?

I'm re-visiting PDF Viewer control and testing last version.
Have you finally implement "Save" function? I can't see anything about in Docs.

Eduardo

Hi,
The "Save" feature is supported but can not be controlled programatically. Inside the PDF Viewer, you would click the download link and select "with your changes". This would allow you to "Save" a copy of the PDF with form values you entered. Please let us know if this is what you are looking for.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've seen that option, and is interesting, but it isn't what i am looking for.
I want do that "save with your changes" programatically, because i need to recover the form values entered, and i can't depend from user.
