Question

Hi! Good Day Everyone
I'm not really a hardcore developer, so I have been hoping somebody could help me out on my simple tool that I am trying to create.
So it's like this We have this pre made scholarship vouchers that I need to fill out some details like names, address etc.
I wanted to create a simple tool where I will just input the details and it will print the details to the corresponding fields
I tried using the following codes and hoping to hit the mark where I need those details but I this is not the best way. Hoping somebody can guide me . Thank You.

using (Font font1 = new Font("Arial", 24, FontStyle.Bold, GraphicsUnit.Pixel))
{
PointF pointf1 = new PointF(30, 1000);
e.Graphics.DrawString(textBox1.Text, font1, Brushes.Blue, pointf1);
}

Answer

@Niel Michael Bantilan , If you want to fill the details to the correspond fields into the pdf file, it will be better for you to create a pdf file that contains the text fields.

After creating the pdf, you could try the following code to get fields and set the field's value.

Code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            ListFieldNames();  
            FillForm();  
        }  
        private void ListFieldNames()  
        {  
            string pdfTemplate = @"D:\ExampleWithFileds.pdf";   
            this.Text += " - " + pdfTemplate;  
            PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);  
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();  
            foreach (var de in pdfReader.AcroFields.Fields)  
            {  
                sb.Append(de.Key.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);  
            }  
            richTextBox1.Text = sb.ToString();  
        }  
        private void FillForm()  
        {  
            string pdfTemplate = @"D:\ExampleWithFileds.pdf";  
            string newFile = @"D:\ExampleWithFileds111.pdf"; ;  
            PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(pdfTemplate);  
            PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, new FileStream(newFile, FileMode.Create));  
            AcroFields pdfFormFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields;   
            pdfFormFields.SetField("Given Name Text Box", "jack");  
            pdfFormFields.SetField("Family Name Text Box", "father");  
            pdfFormFields.SetField("Address 1 Text Box", "home");  
            pdfFormFields.SetField("House nr Text Box", "house");  
            pdfStamper.FormFlattening = false;  
            pdfStamper.Close();  
        }
