GdPicture.NET.14.API
GdPicture14 Namespace / GdPicturePDF Class / GetFormFieldFontSize Method / GetFormFieldFontSize(Int32) Method
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.
Example





In This Topic
GetFormFieldFontSize(Int32) Method
In This Topic
Returns the size, in points, of the font used to display text or the checkmark 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. In other words, this value also defines the size of the checkmark in a required form field.

Be aware that if the checkmark's size differs for each single child radio button in a group of radio buttons within a radio button field, this method will fail. Please use the GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldFontSize method to determine the individual size of the checkmark for each child radio button in a group instead.

For further assistance, please refer to the PDF Reference, Section "Interactive Forms".

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

The size of the defined font, in points, for displayed text or the checkmark of a specified form field. The GdPicturePDF.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 GdPicturePDF.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. For further assistance, please refer to the PDF Reference, Section "Interactive Forms".

Likewise, only to remind you, that 1 point = 1/72 inch.
