PDF Form - How do you bind the HTML Form and the PDF? #1291

Hi there, I was looking at this example: https://pdfviewer.net/extended-pdf-viewer/forms However, I do not fully understand how the HTML form is supoosed to be binded with the PDF form. Is there another basic example with complete source code that I could refer to? I am fairly new to Angular so just trying to figure out from the above example has not been working for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

Good point. Strictly speaking, it's not the HTML form that's linked with the Acroform (which is the form in the PDF file). There's just a two-way binding between the Acroform and a Json object in your Angular application. My demo, in turn, also adds a two-way binding between the Angular HTML form and the same Acroform. As a result, it looks like a two-way binding between the Acroform and the Angular HTML form, but in reality, it's a transitive link. Does this shed some light? |
