Thanks,
That worked great. I was able to see the values On and Off when I
opened the PDF in Notepad. The On value DID check the box.
Thanks again,

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] How do I check a checkbox?
The possible values are set by the designer of the
PDF. In the IRS's fillable f1040ez.pdf, the values
for the check boxes are "Yes/Off/No". You may get a
hint from the text next to the boxes, or you can open
the PDF with a text editor and look for the values
(assuming it's not encrypted or compressed).
I don't know if it's possible to read the subfield
values using iText. I use iSedQuickPDF to read them,
using the GetFormFieldSubCount() and
GetFormFieldSubName() functions.
