Can't enter data on form fillable pdf #53

Closed Meliath1742 closed 8 months ago

Meliath1742 commented 1 year ago

I've created a FF pdf using PDF Escape, uploaded it into the Forge Asset Library and linked it to PDF Pager in Foundry. The pdf is assigned as the CS and shows up when a character is created but it won't allow me to enter any data. I click on the fillable area, its background turns white but no cursor is shown in the editable area and it doesn't see any key strokes I make for the data. A friend of mine says PDF Pager is working for him with no issues. BTW, the pdf works fine outside of Foundry. What am I missing here?? I feel like I'm not installing something correctly...

If you open the PDF in a normal journal page (with PDF Pager module disabled) can you edit it there?

Meliath1742 commented 1 year ago

Its odd. As a Journal entry PDF and PDF Pager disabled, a few of the fillable areas work, but most do not. I can see the flashing cursor in the fillable areas, but only a few allow me to actually enter data.

What browser are you using? Also, what happens if you open a browser (not containing Foundry) and drag the PDF into it? (This should use your browser's built-in PDF support)?

Meliath1742 commented 1 year ago

I'm using Chrome. I'll have to try the pdf-browser and get back with you.

It might be worth checking what extensions you have enabled in Chrome - if the PDF is editable on another player's computer.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

It is also worth checking version 0.39.1 to see if that makes any difference.

Yeah, I've tried using Form Fillable pdfs as well. I can edit all the fields, no problem, but I cannot find a way to save the changes, so it always just reverts to the base pdf with none of the information that I added. I have clicked every button I can find to attempt to save the changes, including opening the inline edit button for the sheet and making changes in there and then clicking the "save entry" button at the bottom and still no luck. Am I just stupid and can't find the save button anywhere?

If you are using PDF Pager and are using a PDF as an Actor sheet, then when you change a field in the fillable PDF the new value is immediately stored on the Actor.

Simyonovich commented 9 months ago

I am using PDF Pager and an Actor sheet. Then I took the time to fill in every field, then closed the actor sheet. I reproduced this bug with several different PDFs in multiple actors. All changes were erased. Tried on both Forge and my local Foundry program, same thing occured. I am going to try removing all other modules, in case there's a conflict.

EDIT: I did run it in a system agnostic world with no other modules. Still wipes all the changes on reopening the actor sheet.

Simyonovich commented 9 months ago

I now tried with a different system from before; Simple World Builder instead of Sandbox and it's now working. interesting.

Correction: only partly working. some fields saved, some did not.

farling42 commented 9 months ago

If you open your browser console and switch the logging level to All, then you should see messages appear whenever you modify a value in the PDF. It might be generating an error for the fields which don't appear to be getting saved.

Which game system are you using?
