The grayed-out Insert Merge Field button tells me this isn't a true mailmerge main document and the mergefields are just being used as placeholders (a fairly common misuse of mergefields).

Yes, that must be the case.

As for the field merely outputting «Service_AS», that's to be expected for your document before your C# code runs. What do you see after it has run?

That «Service_AS» output is what shows up on the resulting PDF after the C# service is run, which is not sending a value for that field (In this test I am sending in a value for a different checkbox to test that the AS field is left unchecked). What I have is: "Service output: «Service_AS»" and I would expect to see "Service output: ". When other fields are blank they show nothing, they do not show their name or placeholder.
Is it crazy to think that perhaps this form was originally created as a proper Mail Merge doc and then somehow turned into a normal doc, and now adding fields isn't possible? I am really unsure what is causing this behavior.
Thanks.
