What value goes for "Other" field type in PDF Form field types?
-
I am trying to generate a PDF using iTextSharp. It's a fillable PDF. I am able to track all the fields except for some check boxes. All of those checkboxes are Yes/No checkboxes. Now, the issue is, for some fields, the field type is coming as 'Other'. I am not sure what value should go in to these types.I am following the example in Filling PDF Forms I am getting the fieldtypes for some fields as follows:
Track - Other Gender - Other Spouse Gender - Other if Yes, please provide the following_2 - OtherThe first part is the formField name, and the second part is the type. Since, it is Other type, these fields are not detectable. Please help. -

So you have a checkbox other, and when you click on it, a textbox appears or something. So its still a checkbox, only the text or id assignment is "chk_gender_other" or something.

Correct. I have two Sections called Gender and Spouse and then each section is having two checkboxes , Male and Female. The problem is, I am getting the id for the checkbox as
formFieldMap["Gender"]= ?
formFieldMap["SpouseGender"] = ?How and what value should I pass to differentiate Male and Female Checkbox? I believe that I need to edit the PDF again to make the Id's unique.

Ah yes the naming formula Took me about 10 years to get good at it. i would of named it cb_form_gender_male cb_form_gender_female cb_form_gender_other txt_form_gender_other cb is for checkbox form is the name of the section, document, or something. You should get the idea
