Fields and "]" + Checkboxes
Morning All,
I have been writing some Java with PDFBox for a few weeks now. Its been
very good so far.
My goal is to loop through all the fields in a form, grab the values and
write the value to a corresponding field in a DB. By and large I have this
working.
I however have two questions:
1. When importing the value of a combobox I am getting the value enclosed
in square braces. Anyone know why - or do I need to handle this
progmatically?
2. The code so far loops through all the fields and grabs strings - but I
am not sure how to handle exclusive checkboxes (ie only one value selected
allowed).
Cheers
-Al

You have to process the given list of strings yourself.

Andreas,
I have read your reply now.
So is there a method that gets the value without the braces or do I have to
handle it progmatically?
Cheers

getValue provides a list of strings as return value which leads to the described
string presentation with square braces. That list contains the selected value or
several values if multiselect is allowed and more than one value is selected.

I didn't get your point, but hopefully my answer to your first question answers
this one too? ;-)
