Hi,

Thanks for contacting us. I assume you are doing validation by obtaining the text in the text field and checking valid entries, is that the case?

In this case, while you are still typing in the text field the text has not been committed to the PDF document so you are not able to extract any values from the text field yet. I recommend committing the current text field changes before validating (i.e. tapping the “Submit Form” button should commit the changes before validating).

You can commit the changes, by switching the current tool back to pan by calling the following code:

          ToolManager toolManager = getToolManager();
          toolManager.createTool(ToolMode.PAN, toolManager.getTool());

If you are using the fragment version of the viewer (PdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment2), you can get an instance of ToolManager by calling PdfViewCtrlTabHostFragment2.getCurrentPdfViewCtrlFragment().getToolManager()

Could you give this a try and let us know if this will workfor you?
