When a PDF text field uses the "Comb Of Characters" property the following error is returned when saving a PDF document after adding the values:

Index and length must refer to a location within the string.\r\nParameter name: length","StackTrace":" at System.String.Substring(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length)\r\n at EO.Internal.tbji.iaxb(String jk, Boolean jl)\r\n at EO.Internal.tbji.iaxa()\r\n at EO.Internal.tbji.iawu()\r\n at EO.Pdf.PdfField.gehy()\r\n at EO.Pdf.PdfField.jegk()\r\n at EO.Internal.tbjn.jegk()\r\n at EO.Pdf.PdfDocument.omeq()\r\n at EO.Pdf.PdfDocument.Save(Stream stream)\r\n at

This is happening in the latest version 22.2.49.0.
It doesn't happen in an older version from 2018 that I have been able to test with: 18.1.31.0

Hi,

Can you send the PDF file in question to us so that we can debug it here? See here for more info:

Hi, I've sent a simple PDF with just one form field. The error occurs when calling Save and I'm using a MemoryStream if that makes any difference:
MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(mStream);

Thanks for the test file. We were able to find out the root cause. This will be fixed in our next build and we will reply here again as soon as the new build is available.
