PDCheckbox setPartialName() and setMappingName() always the same

[chitgoks <ch...@gmail.com>]

hi

i have a tiny issue with regards to a grouped PDCheckBox (2 checkboxes).

if i set partial name and mapping name to say "cb1"

the partial name should become cb11 while the other checkbox should be cb12
(COSName.T)

while the mapping name will persist with cb1 (COSName.TM)

however, this is not the case, hence will result in the checkbox acting
like a grouped radio button (cannot select both checkboxes) because both
COSName.T and COSName.TM have the same values.

Am I missing some method to call in order to make it behave like this?

iText and Aspose both automatically rename its COSName.T value (not
comparing libraries here but trying to understand how it works in PDFBox),
so in PDFBox, do I have to call some other method? if so, which one?

please advise

thank you

Please ignore this

I set a unique value in setPartialName() instead of wanting PDFBox to
automatically do the renaming.

It works.
