Checkbox doesn't work in PDF template

Hi,

I am making a pdf template with OpenOffice and I have a problem with the checkboxes, it doesn't set his value in the template.
I have followed the instructions of the user guide (field name in the template: my-section$my-field$value, the Export value: true).
I don't know if I am doing something wrong. I have made a minimal example form with my problem and I have attatched the template.

Thanks in advance.

Sergio

Hi Sergio,

I agree: it looks like a bug, but I will need to spend more time debugging this to check I'm not overlooking something. I'll try to post an update on this on Wednesday.

Hi Sergio,

Got it: when editing the PDF in Acrobat, you must also set the "Export Value" to "true". Things are working as expected after this change.



This is also mentioned in the documentation:

Hi Alex,

I have downloaded a trial version of Acrobat and it works fine, the problem should be editing the template with OpenOffice. So I will do the templates that I need with the trial version.

Thanks Alex.

Hi Sergio,

I'm glad using Acrobat works for you, and it is good to know that's it is better to avoid using OpenOffice for this.
