Forms

Delete Form Fields

This endpoint allows you to remove multiple form fields from the document's default layer.

Deleting a form field will cascade delete all its associated widgets and values.

The endpoint accepts content type application/json. The request body is an object with a field formFieldIds that is set to either a JSON array of IDs, or "all" in order to remove all form fields in one request.

The PDF document password.

If the document is password protected, any operations performed on it require supplying a password.

OR

Example request

{
  "formFieldIds": [
    "01DNEDPQQ22W49KDXRFPG4EPEQ",
    "01DNEDPQQ22W49KDXRFPG4EPEM"
  ]

Response

The form field(s) have been deleted

detailsstring

A text summary of the status of the request

request_idstring
result'partial_failure' | 'success' | 'failure'

If all the items in the batch request were successful, then the status will be a success. A partial_failure will occur if only a few of the items in the batch request succeeded. Failure is when none of the items in the batch succeed.

status200 | 400 | 500

HTTP status code for the request. The status code is 200 if the request was processed. This does not have anything to do with the result - the status code will be 200 even if part of the request failed. In the case of total failures such as malformed JSON, or document not found, this status will be other than 200.

  "details": "Operation was partially successful",
