eForm Stamp Example

This example shows how to stamp eForm fields into a document so that the values are indelibly marked

First we create an ABCpdf Doc object and read in our template form.

[C#]
Doc theDoc = new Doc();
theDoc.Read(Server.MapPath("../mypics/form.pdf"));
theDoc.Font = theDoc.AddFont("Helvetica-Bold");

[Visual Basic]
Dim theDoc As Doc = New Doc()
theDoc.Read(Server.MapPath("../mypics/form.pdf"))
theDoc.Font = theDoc.AddFont("Helvetica-Bold")

We set the values of selected fields and then we stamp all field values into the document.

[C#]
theDoc.Form["Day"].Value = "23";
theDoc.Form["Month"].Value = "February";
theDoc.Form["Year"].Value = "2005";
theDoc.Form["State"].Value = "Arizona";
theDoc.Form.Stamp();

[Visual Basic]
theDoc.Form("Day").Value = "23"
theDoc.Form("Month").Value = "February"
theDoc.Form("Year").Value = "2005"
theDoc.Form("State").Value = "Arizona"
theDoc.Form.Stamp()

Finally we save.

[C#]
theDoc.Save(Server.MapPath("eformstamp.pdf"));

[Visual Basic]
theDoc.Save(Server.MapPath("eformstamp.pdf"))

Given the following document.

form.pdf

This is the kind of output you might expect.

eformstamp.pdf
