It's even worse in Thomas' PDF, The field in question has a /V value /Off and and an /AS appearance state /chk2. Each of these attributes is specified to select the applicable/appropriate appearance stream from an appearance subdictionary. Thus, this PDF is internally inconsistent and the appearance you are shown is totally up to the PDF viewer you use. Regards, Michael PS: Additionally the parent field also has a /V value, /chk2 in this case. But parent attributes only serve as defaults if the child does not have that attribute. -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/check-if-a-checkbox-is-selected-tp4660724p4660736.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
