fill pdf fields with vb.net

Question

_{Thursday, August 8, 2013 4:01 PM}

I would like to fill in a PDF form using VB.Net WinForms code, not C#. I have Adobe Acrobat X. I can open the PDF but I'm sure how to fill in the fields. I have VS2012 Pro and the PDF is externally provided and can't be modified. Is that possible?

Hey Guys,

I am not sure how to fill in the fields with Adobe Acrobat. There is a workaround. We can use IText to implement this function. We don't have to buy anything. The product IText provides all the libraries to interact with a PDF

Here is an article about this issue.
