Fill Form

The Fill Form function takes data from a Type and inserts it into the document's form fields. Each property in the Type needs to match up with the name of the field in the document.

Properties

Input

The following properties specify the PDF document to be loaded and modified by the operation:

File path

Path to the PDF file.

Authentication type

PDF files can be protected using a password or a certificate. This field indicates which type of authentication to attempt when loading the PDF.

  1. None The document is unprotected and can be opened immediately.

  2. Password The document is protected by a password.

  3. Certificate The document is protected by a certificate.

Password: Only displayed when Authentication type is 'Password'.

  • Password: Password required to access the PDF file.

Note: All passwords entered into this function's properties will be visible in plain text in the Linx solution file and in the compiled .NET assembly.

Certificate

Only displayed when Authentication type is 'Certificate'.

Certificate source: Source to load the certificate from:

  1. File - Load a certificate from a .pfx file.

  2. Store - Load a certificate from the Windows certificate store.
