Acrobat for Windows and Mac: PDF Forms

Categories

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

AcroForms VBA plugin does not correctly populate checkboxes when form contains XFA

Or rather, it populates the checkboxes correctly as far as the PDF side goes: it sets the /V and /AS of the checkbox objects in /Fields correctly, but it doesn't set the XFA side accordingly, whereas it does for text fields. In the Acrobat window the checkboxes show as correctly marked until I close the file. When I reopen the file with Acrobat or Reader, it gets its display information from the XFA, not from the /Fields (and that may be the real bug here), and so doesn't show the checkboxes as marked.

    In addition, Acrobat and Reader's behavior in setting one of a group of checkboxes (such as the Filing Status boxes on the 1040 form) is not correct either. It should set the /V of only the selected box to its export value and should remove the /V field of the others.
