I am using the FDF toolkit to parse an FDF file in order to change the File Tag "/F" using FDFSetFile(). However, this doesn't set the "/UF" tag which is a copy of the "/F" tag. Is there a way to remove this tag "/UF" or set its value. Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

the /UF tag is the Unicode version of the file path. Have tried using the FDFSetFileEx() function, and providing a Unicode file spec? If this doesn't work you might try rebuilding the entire FDF without the /UF tag. Or writing your own code to slice out he /UF tag. Or not using FDF at all. XFDF is much easier to parse and manipulate.

Thank you for your reply.
Actully, yesterday I wrote my code to remove the /UF tag from the FDF file which solved my issue. Regarding the FDFSetFileEx() function, I did not find it in the "ActiveX" version of the FDF toolkit!
