Check the PDF box based on its value. by using COSDictionary
Hi Team,
I am ticking the checkbox using below code, *still the checkbox is not
checked in the filled PDF.*
Could you please help out ? I have attached the sample image of PDF.
try {
PDDocument pDDocument = Loader.loadPDF(new
File("src/main/resources", "80.pdf"));
if (pDDocument.isEncrypted()) {
try {
PDAcroForm pDAcroForm =
pDDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm();
COSDictionary cosDictionary3 =
pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V, "male");
OR
OSDictionary cosDictionary3 = pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V, "Male");
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(
"src/main/resources", "incrementalSave.pdf"));
Set<COSDictionary> set = new HashSet<>();
set.add(cosDictionary1);
set.add(cosDictionary2);
set.add(cosDictionary3);
pDDocument.saveIncremental(fileOutputStream, set);
pDDocument.close();
}

You may also have to add the appearance stream dictionaries to the
update list.
field.getWidgets().get(0).getAppearanceCharacteristics().getCOSObject()
field.getWidgets().get(0).getAppearance().getCOSObject()
field.getWidgets().get(0).getAppearance().getNormalAppearance().getCOSObject()
This may be too much or not be complete, the best would be to look at it
with PDFDebugger.

Hi,
Checkboxes are updated with check() and unCheck().
If it still doesn't work, please upload the result file somewhere.
