After downloaded, the “Product Name” field and the “Title” fields are missing value after editting and downloading.

Code snippet
I am using ReactJS and this is my code for download function.

import WebViewer from '@pdftron/pdfjs-express';
import ExpressUtils from '@pdftron/pdfjs-express-utils';
import saveAs from 'file-saver';

const { documentViewer, annotationManager } = instance.Core;
      const utils = new ExpressUtils({
        serverKey: serverKey,
        clientKey: clientKey,
      });

const fileData = await documentViewer.getDocument().getFileData({});
const xfdf = await annotationManager.exportAnnotations({});

const resp = await utils.setFile(fileData).setXFDF(xfdf).merge();
const mergedBlob = await resp.getBlob();

saveAs(mergedBlob, attachment.fileName);

I realized that the XFDF fields in the resp containing our edited values but after getBlob and save, the “Product Name” and “Title” fields are missing.

My “Product Name” : “PINK PATT” and my “TITLE” is “MRS”. But after download, these fields are blank in the final document.

Here is my XFDF in the response and it still contains the value:

Hello steven.y,

Try adding:

instance.Core.annotationManager.exportAnnotations({fields: true})

This will include the fields in the exported XFDF

Best regards

Hi tgordon,

I have added that, but it did not work also. The problem is some edited text fields have value, some do not.

You can try to reproduce that with my given document asguard.pdf. After download, not all the fields have value

You can see that only Unique Superannuation Identifier is updated.
