Re: Checkbox with multiple AnnotationWidgets
I have a similar issue but no matter what I do I can't get it to work...
I'm looking at the Options array for the new value and setting the matching
widget, or at least I'm trying to. Any suggestions on how to do it (using
1.8.13)?
Here's my code:
PDCheckbox checkBox = (PDCheckbox) f;
checkBox.getDictionary().setName("V", newValue);
List<String> options = checkBox.getOptions();
for (int i=0; i<options.size(); i++) {
if (options.get(i).equals(newValue)) {
checkBox.getWidgets().get(i).getDictionary().setName(COSName.getPDFName("AS"),
newValue);
} else
checkBox.getWidgets().get(i).getDictionary().setItem(COSName.getPDFName("AS"),
COSName.getPDFName("Off"));
}

Re: Checkbox with multiple AnnotationWidgets
Posted by Gilad Denneboom <gi...@gmail.com>.
The issue seems to have been related to the fact that the export values
were in Hebrew. When I changed them to English the setValue method worked...
