Hi Maruan,
I was able to verify that the latest trunk snapshot does correct the issue.
I used the latest 1.8.11 snapshot to test the getWidgets() method and set
the AppearanceStream for each widget, and that also works as long as I know
the exact value to use. Calling the getOnValue() method for the field
throws a Null Pointer Exception in PDCheckbox.java at line 140:
COSBase n = ap.getDictionaryObject(COSName.getPDFName("N"));
I did not get your response emails, so I cannot reply to the last one in
the chain.
Thanks for your help,
Bart.
