HI Team,
There is confusion around how CheckboxPDF Field is in PDF. I have
attached screenshot . Please refer to it.
This is group checkbox field with one PDF Field name* "app.sex".*
Requirement is to set the each checkbox based on its value.
Chosen below way to fill PDF because it is encrypted.
Below code is working fine for *male, female and *unspecified
COSDictionary cosDictionary3=pDAcroForm.getField("ap.sex").getCOSObject();
cosDictionary3.setString(COSName.V ,"unspecified");
but it is not working for "i*ndeterminate" and "i**ntersex *" means
the checkbox are ticked.
Could you please help out ?
Thanks
Damaji.
