PDF Mosaic: How to submit and reset form actions - Two Pilots

Home Features Download Tutorial Version History License PDF Mosaic Blog Source Code

This sample shows how to use Submit-Form and Reset-Form actions.

A Submit-Form action (PDFSubmitFormAction class) transmits the names and values of associated controls to a specified uniform resource identifier (URI), presumably the address of a Web server that will process them and send back a response.

A Reset-Form action (PDFResetFormAction class) resets associated controls to their default values.

C# :

using PDFMosaic;
using System;
 
namespace SubmitResetFormActions
{
  class SubmitResetFormActions
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      PDFDocument document = new PDFDocument();
      PDFPage page = new PDFPage(PDFPaperFormat.A4);
 
      PDFFont fnt = new PDFFont(PDFStandardFont.Helvetica, 8);
      PDFBrush br = new PDFSolidBrush();
 
      PDFEditBox textBox = new PDFEditBox(20, 40, 100, 20, "edit1");
      textBox.Text = "Hello";
      page.Annotations.Add(textBox);
 
      PDFCheckBox checkBox = new PDFCheckBox(20, 70, 15, 15, "checkBox1");
      page.Annotations.Add(checkBox);
      page.Canvas.DrawString("Check box", fnt, br, 40, 72);
 
      PDFRadioButton radioButton1 = new PDFRadioButton(20, 95, 15, 15, "radio", "val1");
      page.Annotations.Add(radioButton1);
      radioButton1.Checked = true;
      page.Canvas.DrawString("Value 1", fnt, br, 40, 97);
 
      PDFRadioButton radioButton2 = new PDFRadioButton(20, 110, 15, 15, "radio", "val2");
      page.Annotations.Add(radioButton2);
      page.Canvas.DrawString("Value 2", fnt, br, 40, 112);
 
      PDFPushButton resetButton = new PDFPushButton(20, 133, 40, 12, "btn1");
      resetButton.Caption = "Reset";
      resetButton.Font.Size = 6;
      page.Annotations.Add(resetButton);
 
      PDFPushButton submitButton = new PDFPushButton(70, 133, 40, 12, "btn2");
      submitButton.Caption = "Submit";
      submitButton.Font.Size = 6;
      page.Annotations.Add(submitButton);
 
      PDFResetFormAction resetAction = new PDFResetFormAction();
      resetAction.Fields.Add(textBox);
      resetAction.Fields.Add(checkBox);
      resetAction.Fields.Add(radioButton1);
      resetAction.Fields.Add(radioButton2);
      resetButton.OnActivated = resetAction;
 
      PDFSubmitFormAction submitAction = new PDFSubmitFormAction(new Uri("https://www.pdfmosaic.com/login"));
      submitAction.SubmitFormat = PDFSubmitDataFormat.HTML;
      submitAction.SubmitMethod = PDFSubmitMethod.Get;
      submitAction.Fields.Add(textBox);
      submitAction.Fields.Add(checkBox);
      submitAction.Fields.Add(radioButton1);
      submitAction.Fields.Add(radioButton2);
      submitButton.OnActivated = submitAction;
 
      document.Pages.Add(page);
      document.Save("SubmitResetFormActions.pdf", true);
    }
  }
}
