They are two distinct checkboxes within a radio collection. The problem is they
both have their onValue set to "On". I need to set the onValue for one of them
to something else ("Off").
Your code has given me some ideas, but so far, I haven't been able to
adequately solve it.
Thanks,
Bob

Subject: Re: How to bind distinct OnValues for checkbox group?
Hi,
are you sure that these are two distinct fields? If yes, you can set the On
value - using 1.8.x - with
PDAnnotationWidget widget = field.getWidget() PDAppearanceDictionary
apDictionary = widget.getAppearance(); PDAppearanceEntry normalAppearance =
apDictionary.getNormalAppearance();
// to get the current values
Map<String,PDAppearanceStream> appearanceMap =
apDictionary.getNormalAppearance();
// to set the values
apDictionary.setNormalAppearance(Map<String,PDAppearanceStream>);
Haven't tested that code but should give you an idea.
