Hi, What is the best way to do “Adobe reader” type into? When I do with UI FRamework, what I see is only the id numbers and it is not reliable. Not properly identifying the field. Thank you,

@A_Learner If they are pdf form fields then it is better to use itext7 library and use .net code to fill the data Check for sample code [Yasitha Bandara] Filling existing pdf text fields using iText itext asked by Yasitha Bandara on 12:07PM - 08 Nov …

Thank you, @Anil_G How to use itext library? Do I need to install anything? Thanks,

@A_Learner Search itext7 in manage packages you would see the packages Cheers

Thank you, @Anil_G So does this get into the dependencies list. i have a process already deployed. I am just trying to fix Adobe part of it because it is not working as expected. So I cannot just send writepdf.xaml when I use itext, correcT? Thank you,

@A_Learner Yes its a dependency. For pdf to write generally we dont use ui instead we go with itextsharp or 7 which is reliable I am not sure what is there in that xaml Cheers

type into. Thank you, for letting me know. I can try install ing on users machine also, correct? After doing write pdf on my end and sending xaml to user?

Looks like the PDF need to have the field names. I wonder how to get field names. thanks,

@A_Learner Itext has a method to get all field names as well Or In adobe also you have an option to check all Cheers

@A_Learner Use Anchor Base Activities: Anchor Base: Use this activity to anchor to a nearby stable element. Find Element: Use this to find a reliable nearby element (e.g., a label next to the input field). Type Into: Use this to type into the field relative to the found element.

@A_Learner

Can you open manage packages then settings and show what feeds are there..may be a required feed is missing

Or try this

For custom addition download nuget..place it in a folder in manage packages-> settings page add the folder as one source then it would be displayed for you to install

Cheers
