Using the PM4ML API can we generate the editable pdf form from html and after that user should able to save the contents of the pdf form.
Thanks

pd4ml-html-css-pdf-tips-tricks-f7/pdf-forms-t422.htmlIf you prefer to use PD4ML API, you need to trigger pd4ml.generatePdfForms() API call to enable HTML forms to PDF forms conversion.
#28824Hi,
Sorry to bring back this old topic, but i used the tutorial from pd4ml-html-css-pdf-tips-tricks-f7/pdf-forms-t422.html .
My generated PDF form isn’t editable. The input are drawn in the PDF, but i can’t interact with the field. I get the same result with or without using the attributes generatePdfForms=”true” and enable=”true”.
form.jsp
