Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Hi Team,
In the editable PDF we have a checkbox as shown below.
[image: image.png]
* Indeterminate / Intersex / Unspecified []*
We are able to check the above checkbox using below code and only with
value "
*unspecified" . * Then only the checkbox is ticked in the filled PDF.
COSDictionary cosDictionary3=pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V ,"unspecified");
We have requirement to set the checkbox value *Indeterminate or *
*Intersex * then by with value "i*ndeterminate" or "i**ntersex *" does
not ticked the checkbox in the filled PDF.
I am afraid if we set the last value to PDF Checkbox then downstream
processing may have an impact which is not in our control to fix or
analyze.
Could you please help out in this scenario ?
Thanks
Damaji.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by "sahyoun@fileaffairs.de" <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
if I understood correctly the request was to be able to set the last
checkbox labled Indeterminate / Intersex / Unspecified with either one
of the three values (unspecified works) and also capture the value.
e.g. when setting 'indeterminate' as the value the checkbox should be
checked and also have the value 'indeterminate'.
That's not possible. It can only be set using 'unspecified' and then
have the value 'unspecified' as a single checkbox can not have multiple
ON values.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>.
I tried it in firefox... these are three checkboxes that behave like a
radio button set.
Then I looked at it with PDFDebugger, there are no radio button flags.
There is no javascript. Could this be some default behavior when
checkboxes have the same name? You possibly mentioned something a few
days / weeks ago.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by "sahyoun@fileaffairs.de" <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
Hello Damaji,
the PDF supports my assumption. There is a single checkbox representing
eiher one of three values for the checked state. And that's not
possible with a checkbox. It can only hold one value for the unchecked
and one value for the checked state.
So if you need to be able to differentiate between the additional
genders you need to have
- additional checkboxes or
- a dropdown or
- store the value somewehere else in the PDF in addition to checking
the box (e.g. by adding a hidden field or storing the information in
the metadata of the PDF).
The last workaround obviously will not work if one uses the PDF
interactively which limits the use of the PDF.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by Damaji Kalunge <da...@technogise.com>.
Hi Team,
I have attached the PDF itself.
Requirement is tick the sex checkbox based on its possible values like *male,
female, **unspecified*, "i*ndeterminate" and "i**ntersex *" .
Facing issue for "i*ndeterminate" and "i**ntersex *" with below code.
COSDictionary cosDictionary3=pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V ,"unspecified");
Thanks
Damaji.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by Damaji Kalunge <da...@technogise.com>.
HI Team,
There is confusion around how CheckboxPDF Field is in PDF. I have
attached screenshot . Please refer to it.
This is group checkbox field with one PDF Field name* "app.sex".*
Requirement is to set the each checkbox based on its value.
Chosen below way to fill PDF because it is encrypted.
Below code is working fine for *male, female and *unspecified
COSDictionary cosDictionary3=pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V ,"unspecified");
but it is not working for "i*ndeterminate" and "i**ntersex *" means
the checkbox are ticked.
Could you please help out ?
Thanks
Damaji.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by "sahyoun@fileaffairs.de" <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
reading a little further (and not being able to see the image) I'm
guessing that there is a single checkbox which you can tick if the
person has one of the three potential states. But that's not possible
to as a checkbox can only hold a value for unchecked (default OFF) and
one for checked. So checking by providing one of the three values and
also capturing that is not possible.
You should use a List field in that case or a group of radio buttons or
have a hidden field where you in addition to checking the checkbox hold
the value of what checked means.

Re: Fill value in the PDF Checkbox Field using PDAcroForm.
Posted by "sahyoun@fileaffairs.de" <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
In addition,
are you sure that Indeterminate or Intersex are the potential values
defined for the checkbox(es). The visible text is not what determines
the potential values fo rthe checked/unchecked state. Also it's unusual
that a checkbox has 3 potenmtial values as it's either checked or
unchecked.
If you upload the the PDF to a shared location I can take a look.

Hi,
If this is really a PDCheckBox then call check() or uncheck(). I can't
see the image, maybe this was an attachment.
