Hello Support,

How can i get the PDF text field value?

May be like this : [https://pdfjs.express/api/Annotations.Forms.Field.html](https://pdfjs.express/api/Annotations.Forms.Field.html)

I’s it possible like this : alert(Annotations.Forms.Field.getValue(“text\_2”))

Thanks

Hi there,

There is some examples [here](https://pdfjs.express/documentation/forms/fill-form-fields) of interacting with text fields.

The main class you’ll want to work with is the [`FieldManager`](https://pdfjs.express/api/Annotations.Forms.FieldManager.html#toc0__anchor)

Thanks,  
Logan
