GetFormFieldValue(Int32) Method
In This Topic
Returns the current value of a required form field, that is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document.
The value's format varies depending on the type of the form field. This method returns the string representation of the field's current value.

Parameters
- FieldId
- A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.
Return Value
A string representation of the current value of the specified form field. The
GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
