I am creating a PDF document that uses Table.ImportTable to insert a table in the document.  This seems to work great.  Once I loop through each row to insert a Form Field in each row, I get this error , "Non-unique field name: text14."  Any ideas on how to get around this?  I've included the code.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Aspose.Pdf.License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
            license.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.lic");

            dataTable = this.GetTypesOfInsurance();
            Pdf pdf1 = new Pdf();
 
            section1 = pdf1.Sections.Add();

            Aspose.Pdf.Table tab1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
            section1.Paragraphs.Add(tab1);
            tab1.ColumnWidths = "200 100 100";
            tab1.DefaultCellBorder = new BorderInfo((int)BorderSide.All, 0.1F);

            tab1.ImportDataTable(this.CreateTable(), true, 0, 0);

            int index = 0;
            foreach (Row currentRow in tab1.Rows)
            {
                foreach (Cell curCell in currentRow.Cells)
                {
                    if (curCell == currentRow.Cells[2])
                    {
                        //Add Form Field to last column
                        FormField text = new FormField();
                        text.FormFieldType = FormFieldType.Text;
                        text.TextIsMultiLine = true;
                        text.TextFontSize = 12;
                        text.TextFontName = "Helvetica";
                        text.FormHeight = 35;
                        text.BackgroundColor = System.Drawing.Color.LemonChiffon;
                        text.FieldName = "text" + index;

                        curCell.Paragraphs.Add(text);
                        index++;
                    }
                }
            }
           

            //Save the Pdf
            pdf1.Save("Test.pdf", SaveType.OpenInBrowser, Response);
        }

protected DataTable CreateTable()
        {
            DataTable table = new DataTable("CompanyInfo");
            table.Columns.Add("Value1", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Value2", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Value3", typeof(string));

            for (int i = 0; i <= 60; i++ )
            {
                DataRow dr = table.NewRow();
                dr[0] = "Record " + i.ToString();
                dr[1] = DateTime.Now.Millisecond;
                dr[2] = "";
                table.Rows.Add(dr);
            }
            return table;
        }

 

Hello Huy,

 

Thanks for considering Aspose.

 

I've tested the scenario using Aspose.Pdf 4.0.0.0 and the code snippet that you have shared and I am unable to reproduce the problem. The resultant PDF that I've generated is in attachment, please take a look.

I ran a couple more tests and found out that if my table has less than 13 rows, then I DO NOT get this error.  I've published this project to see if others get this error too, and they do.  I'm running Acrobat 8 with all the updates.  Does Aspose.Pdf 4.0.0.0 work for a specific version of Reader?

Hi,

     I am the developer of Aspose.Pdf responsible for this issue. I have reproduced this problem and logged it as PDFNET-9522 in our defect database. I think the reason lies on the table-break function when the table with formfield crossing pages. We will resovle it ASAP.

Thanks for responding so quickly and offering a solution.  I tried the new dll that you sent me, but I found another bug.  If the table that I import contains long text, making the text wrap in the column, my pdf crashes.  I think this bug is also related to the height of the form field that I set.  If I decrease the height of the form field, the text can be longer in the other columns.  Below is the method I used to create the table to import.  The second column is the one with the long text.

protected DataTable CreateTable()
        {
            DataTable table = new DataTable("CompanyInfo");
            table.Columns.Add("Value1", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Value2", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Value3", typeof(string));

            for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++ )
            {
                DataRow dr = table.NewRow();
                dr[0] = "Record " + i.ToString();
                dr[1] = "The red fox has orangish-red fur on its back, sides and head. It has white fur under its neck and on its chest. It has a long bushy tail tipped in white, pointed black ears and black legs and feet.";
                dr[2] = "";
                table.Rows.Add(dr);
            }
            return table;
        }

Hi,

     This problem is another case of the formfield acrossing pages. We have fixed it in the attachment, please try it. Sorry for inconvenience.
