Create fillable PDF from PDF - forms

I'm trying to create an editable PDF from an existing PDF. There are Textbox fields, however, my PDF has got images similar to checkbox. The Acrobat Pro is not detecting those controls as checkboxes. There are around 200 checkboxes in my PDf which is tedious to replace them with checkbox controls manually. Is there a way to identify those images as checkboxes programmatically and create the controls automatically?

If you use the Premium version of OmniForm you can convert to PDF, then do your final editing in Acrobat. Much easier than trying to build it using the Acrobat Pro 9 Form Wizard to create forms from paper or electronic documents.

No, there isn't.

Try Omniform from Scansoft/Nuance .. for some people it works better at detecting checkbox like structures on the image than Acrobat Pro 9.

Is there any way to create a PDF from a widget using Flutter?

I did some research and find out that you can create PDF with images or texts or by exporting the screenshot, but I want to create much more like in the image below:
So what I want to achieve is to have a good resolution for PDF to print the PDF as a book after this. The physical book has a lot of pages and my client wants to create the virtual one.
So, I have the design (as you can see in the image), but I still need to create some text fields, signature and some logic in the widget.
How can I export after that to a one page PDF for every widget?
Screenshot won't be enough because I think it doesn't have a good quality and ofc the text and everything else won't be suited in the phone screen.
I am thinking to use the basic design and to add manually by code the texts, but I don't know how to export this to a PDF after that.
Of Course! The pdf package is a great start.

Is there a way to use PDFKit to only display selected part of a pdf?

I am trying to create a program that displays pdfs in chunks. So if you have a 100 page pdf and you only want to display the first chapter you could code something for only showing pages 1 - 10. I've searched around and as it stands it seems this is the best way to display pdfs. The problem is this loads the entire pdf at once in a reader. Going through the documentation now and I can't find anyway to selectively display the pdf. is there a way to selectively display pdf text using pdfkit? or will I have to use some other library for that?
I also see there's a tabViewStyle(.page) I can use to get a paged reader view in swiftui but I'd prefer not to have to format and prettify the text if possible.
I'm not opposed to using 3rd party libraries I just don't want to have to deal with formatting text or whatever. thanks!

iTextSharp PDFForm Radio Button format change

We have a library of PDF forms which we're filling with variable content in text, check box and radio button form fields. Since the form is a template, we use the PDFStamper to perform the form fills. Everything is filling and checking appropriately. The problem we have is that the Radio Button controls are set up (in the form) to display a check mark and not the conventional dot within a circle. When filling the form manually with Acrobat reader, the buttons appear as check boxes however; after filling with iText PDFStamper, the resulting PDF radio buttons revert to their conventional style (dot within a circle).
Is this a bug or is it the intended functionality? Is there a work around. We are currently on V5.5.8. I know in previous version(s) the formatting was maintained.
Thanks for any help .

Active Reports: Copy paste issue

I have generated a report in active reports.
After the report is dispayed in the report viewer, I copied the report by clicking on the Copy button and tried to paste in a word document.
I have some horizontal lines in my report, when I check the copied data in word, the horizntal lines are over lapping on some of the text dispalyed in report.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
I have attached the screen shot of the report's actual layout and the issue I am facing after pasting the report layout in a word document.

Could you please send your RPX/RDLX file to ComponentOne support using ComponentOne support forum or support E-Mail address supportone#componentone.com? In the meanwhile you may use the following options to get the desired results.
If you are using ActiveReports 8 then you can use the activate the snapshot mode in the viewer, select the content from viewer and this will create an image of the selection. You can later paste image this in Word, Paint, Excel etc. Since this is an image it will be obviously not editable.
If you are looking to get editable content, then you may make use of the RtfExport filter available in ActiveReports.
Hope this helps.

How to select text in DTAttributedTextView?

I'm using DTCoreText DTAttributedTextView in my app to highlight the urls in my text. My other criteria is to be able to select by tapping and holding similar to UITextView. However, DTAttributedTextView doesn't seem to to use a UITextView as a placeholder. Anybody has an idea how I can achieve this?
Thanks
That's a feature that's only available via the paid version of DTCoreText.
from the github page
This is useful for drawing simple rich text like any HTML document without having to use a UIWebView. For text selection and highlighting (as you might need for an Editor or Reader) there is the commercial DTRichTextEditor component which can be purchased in the Cocoanetics Parts Store.
