We have a client that provides us with interactive PDF forms for our app to populate fields with user data. The problem is the client sometimes provides us forms with typos and mistakes and is not responsive about fixing them.
In this case, we are given an interactive PDF form that has a pair of Yes/No checkboxes. Unfortunately, when creating the PDF, the client bound both checkboxes to the same "On" value. As a result, when a user checks a box, both of them get checked (additionally, when a user unchecks a box, they both become unchecked). I can use PDFBox to open the file, find the PDCheckbox object in question and list their On and Off values, but I can't figure out how to update the bindings to distinct values. Is it possible to do this in PDFBox? If so, can someone please provide some guidance? We are using PDFBox 1.8.8. We are not positioned to upgrade to 2.0.0. Thanks Bob Wojack CSRA International, Inc.
