In This Topic
Returns the resource name of the font used to display text in a required form field, that is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. This attribute is not restricted to any form fields, even if the form field's appearance doesn't display text. For further assistance, please refer to the PDF Reference, Section "Interactive Forms" .
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Public Function GetFormFieldFontName( _
   ByVal FieldId As Integer _
) As String
public string GetFormFieldFontName( 
   int FieldId
)
public function GetFormFieldFontName( 
    FieldId: Integer
): String; 
public function GetFormFieldFontName( 
   FieldId : int
) : String;
public: string* GetFormFieldFontName( 
   int FieldId
) 
public:
String^ GetFormFieldFontName( 
   int FieldId
)

Parameters

FieldId
A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GetFormFieldId, GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.

Return Value

The resource name of the defined font for the specified form field. The GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to inform you, that the attributes representing the font and its resources are defined for all form field objects by default, even if the form field's appearance doesn't display text. For further assistance, please refer to the PDF Reference, Section "Interactive Forms".
