Setting value for Checkbox field

[Damon Li <da...@monadsolutions.com>]

Hi all,

I want to set the value for a field which is a checkbox, but the value 
does not get set for some reason. I tried the values "true" and "1" yet 
it remains unchecked. What value should I be setting checkbox fields as, 
and same question for other types such as combo box, radio buttons etc.?

Thanks,

Damon Li

Hi Damon Li,

you could use the check() method. see http://pdfbox.apache.org/docs/1.8.3/javadocs/org/apache/pdfbox/pdmodel/interactive/form/PDCheckbox.html

In addition for setValue you would need to know which value is assigned to the checkbox in order to be treated as true. If you do know the correct value then setValue will also do the job.
