A field is described using a field dictionary. The /V key is an entry in the field dictionary that gives you the value of the field. A field doesn't necessarily have a visual representation, but if it has, it can correspond with one or more widget annotations. An annotation is described using an annotation dictionary. The /AS key is an entry in the annotation dictionary that selects the applicable appearance stream from an appearance sub-dictionary. When a field corresponds with one and only one widget annotation, the field dictionary and the annotation dictionary are merged. Hence you have an overlap of keys that seemingly have the same meaning. In this case, the /AS key refers to the visualization of the field, whereas the /V key refers to the actual value of the field. In your case, there's an inconsistency because the value of the field doesn't correspond with its representation. By the way: I only just looked at your mail address and I see that it's the address of a customer. Two questions: 1. Is there a reason why you prefer using the mailing list over the issue tracker for customers? In our last board meeting at iText, we decided that the mailing-list was dead and that we would discontinue it in favor of using StackOverflow. In your case, wouldn't it be better to use the support system that is available for customers? 2. Where did you find DemoCheckBoxRadio.pdf? It was created using iText 2.0.1 and that version dates from March 2007. Your company has a license to use more recent versions of iText. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
