Maruan, please give this a try:

Please do also post a screenshot when the cursor is on "N". This will show something on the right, presumably, "Part A" in an encoded form. Or nothing. Or something wrong.



ALSO wrt:
"Current version is 2.0.11, please retry with that one.

Tilman"

Thanks, cannot but will promote the idea localy: the version is out of my 
control.  Why, were fixed introduced for ComboBoxes?

I don't know, it's a general advice I am giving there. We improve so many things thus it is quite possible that a bug in an old version is no longer in the current version.

Could you do a screenshot of the fields definition in PDFDebugger with the 
subtrees expanded and upload that?

Thanks for the response:

PDFBox 2.0.4

Please look right above your questions to see the 3 ways I've used to set the 
values, though since I'm only ever setting a single value, they always come 
down to:

        ctrl.setValue(String); // the only operation on any control on the
PDF

While I can create a PDF, I doubt I can put it anywhere public - and asking the 
lawyers about it would take a while.

Hi,

Hello again all,

I'm trying to fill out someone else's PDF programmatically, and while the text values 
work fine as before, the controls with Opts never display their values after I've set 
them.  In the saved PDF, there is no text at the ComboBox's location, but using 
PDFDebugger the annotation and Opts are still there.  Just not visible...?  "V" 
is the correct value as set.

The control looks fine when I look at the original, and I can select what I 
want from the box manually through an Adobe GUI.

Comparing the original vs PDFBox saved files, each of the 4 CombBox controls 
have exactly these differences:

  1.  V, because I set it
  2.  "P": first # in [] goes from 61 to 312, plus lower details
differ 3.  There is a new "I: (1)" entry for the annotation

Text controls:

  1.  Have a "V" (didn't in the original - no defaults)  2.  Have the
same change to "P"
  3.  Have the same "AP" as before, or a new "AP" if one didn't exist.

All of the ComboBoxes have the same font("DA: /Helv 12 Tf  g"), but the couple 
text controls with the same font display fine.

I HAVE TRIED:
A) Originally I'd just control.setValue("foobar") for the Opt controls just 
like the text controls, but that gave no results.

B) The only code example Google returns is a stackoverflow where they have a 
font problem, but I tried control.setValue(opts.get(index)) - with no further 
luck.

C) I've also looked at the opts themselves and they do exist - though as 
COSString objects. But they have exactly the same text, and I'm able to search 
through them for equal strings in order to determine the index.
which version of PDFBox are you using? How do you set the value? Would you have 
a sample PDF to be able to give you some specific code (please upload to a 
shared location)?

How ARE PDComboBox controls supposed to work?  Or am I using the wrong control 
altogether?

Thanks...


P.S. I am now seeing a DEBUG log: "ScratchFileBuffer:516 - ScratchFileBuffer not 
closed!" which I don't remember from before...
