How to check a checkbox field value in fw9 PDF form

Hi,
I got a PDF given form IRS (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf). While creating a widget to this pdf form to sign it, I merged the custum data to those PDF form fields using API setMergeFields.
All the data fields are merged fine except the checkboxes. I tried by passing the values to the merge_fields array as 'On', '1', 'checked', 'checkbox(checked)' but no luck
What is wrong here in checking the chexbox field in this fw9 PDF or How to check a checkbox field in a form?
Thank you,

Hi Simon,
I re-added and edited the fields of fw9 form by pdf printer. While doing so, I made fields as ready only so that, the data cannot be edited in the form through the widget but will be merged the data to fields only be the code. Wherein Im using the widget only for signature but not for form filling.
Here, Im able to merge my custom data to all fields while creating widget but not to the fields of checkboxes. The checkboxes fields which are made ready-only are not allowing me to merge the value as checked by the API.
Please help me,
Thanks you,

How to Supply the form field values to a pdf form when loading it

I am working on a web site project using Asp.net where the user has to fill in a PDF eform in acrobat reader. Then when he clicks on submit it returns to my asp.net app and the PDF form supplies the values back to my asp.net app. So my asp.net app has the values that were filled in the PDF form and can save those values and work with them...
OK.
What I need to know is when I am in my asp.net app, and the user wants to go back and reopen the same form, from my asp.net app..... then how do I pass back the values that were saved back to the PDF form??
I know if I had a way to pass the values to the PDF form in some way then in the Doc.open or doc.load event of the form I could easily write a little javascript to plug in the values in the PDF form fields.
but how do I pass those values from my asp.net app to my PDF form???
thanks

Thanks bcweed for all the info. I fixed my problem, it had something to do with LiveCycle Designer. If I just use Acrobat to add the form fields, then the FDF works fine. As to your situation with the SavToBuf, that happens to be the method that I am using, so I will just post my code here, and maybe you can pick out what is different from yours. The Response.BinaryWrite(FDFin.FDFSaveToBuf)is at the bottom.

How do I create visible field labels in a pdf form that can be overwritten by text? I have tried add

I am creating a very straight forward fillable form and want to add a description of each field that can be visible to the user, but goes away when the person enters the appropriate data in the field. I have tried to suggested custom scripts. The script command were: if (!event.value) event.value = event.target.name; and
if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}. Both allow the lables to be visible but neither allow the user to either replace the label with the relevant information and if it does, then the replacing data does not print/remain viewable.
I am confident this is doable as I have seen forms that say something like "add your name here" and when you enter the data that field label is replaced with the information I enter.

Hi George,
I have tried this. What I get is a field label, and I can type into the field, but the label does not go away and the page prints blank. Should I try: if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.Print;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}, removing the .noPrint?
You have no idea how frustrating it is to try this and have such a simple function not work. Is there anothe script I can try?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?Please eloberate with example if possible!Thanks... 

You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose 'Change Subreport Links' and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that's what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Printing field values to a PDF using a template

Hi
I have a set of field values stored in variables, I need to print these fields into a
PDF file. There is a template for this PDF , and each field value should go to a
specific location wrt the template on the new PDF. Could you any one
recommend a 3rd party API that can be used to do this purpose.

I used iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) to do
this.
I created the template as a PDF and used AcroForms to
create named fields within specific formatting within
the PDF.
// Create a BAOS into which to write the
PDF.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Load the PDF template and open the form fields.
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(
"template.pdf" );
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader( inputStream
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
baos);
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
o set the text in a field:
     form.setField("field_name", "field value");
     // close the PDF and return the bytestream
     stamp.close();
     return baos;
It looks like that you are loading a PDF template from a file, and straight
away attempting to fill the form by using the name of the field. To do this shouldn�t the
template PDF be formatted in a specific way to access the specific
location of the template where the field is.
Can you tell me if the template PDF file should be formatted in a specific way
to do this using iText. I was thinking of calculating the offsets of each field
and just print the data at that location.
And I very much appreciate your help so far.

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.

Query from the data abse and pass values to a pdf form

query from the data abse and pass values to a pdf form
Hello
Hello i have this html report that i have written to output a
report.
now, i am assigned to pass the same fields to a pdf form so
the fields in the adaobe form can be populated or the term
Pre-populate the form.
can anyone help me get started.
first i would like to know if it can be done.
second, what do i need to get started (tools )
third how do i do this.
i am really lost at this point.
can anyone give me tips in how to approach this
subject??

It can be one using Adobe Acrobat Designer which is packaged
with Acrobat
Professional Pro 7. It uses all XML to create and populate
forms.
If you had the time, you can also create <cfdocument
type="pdf"> to have
them ready and just pass the info to it so it autogenerates
the PDF on the
fly.

Auto fill same fields in multiple different pdf forms?

I wish to enter information such as project name, company name, date, etc. into a single data sheet. Then I need to autofill the same two or three fields across multiple separate pdf form files. In this case I have approximately separate files to autofill. The forms are all different however, they have the same two or three fields. Any ideas?
I have been searching the internet for ideas or methods and haven't found a single solution yet.
Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for.

HOW TO CHECK THE CHECKBOX VALUE WITH SQLCE DATABASE

Hai All,
Good Day! I am using VB in Visual Studio 2008. I have a form with check boxes and one button control. If i selected the check box and then click the button, check the database table field and check box text are equal. if both are equal then
how to check?
I have tried it. The code is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim conn As New SqlCeConnection
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand
conn.ConnectionString = "DataSource = E:\Vbprojectex\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\Database1.sdf"
Try
cmd.Connection = conn
conn.Open()
If CheckBox1.CheckState = 1 Then
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Aerator FROM ttabpagelist where Aerator = CheckBox1.Text"
TextBox1.Text = 1
End If
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Finally
conn.Close()
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Thanks & Regards Sasi ................. Go Green

probably something like (ofc below will never give result since Aerator can't have 2 values, you will have to adjust the second check box column obviously)
Try
cmd.Connection = conn
conn.Open()
dim strsql as string = "= "SELECT Aerator FROM ttabpagelist "
Dim whereConcatenator As String = " WHERE "
Dim Wherestatement As String = String.Empty
If checkbox1.checked = True Then
Wherestatement += whereConcatenator
Wherestatement += "Aerator = " & checkbox1.Text
whereConcatenator = " AND "
End If
If checkbox2.checked = True Then
Wherestatement += whereConcatenator
Wherestatement += "Aerator = " & checkbox2.Text
End If
cmd.commandtext = strsql & wherestatement
TextBox1.Text = 1
End If
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Finally
conn.Close()
End Try
