Dear Michele,

Can you confirm this new behaviour is correct and adhering to PDF form specifications?

Yes, we've implemented it according to PDF reference (version 1.7, chapter 8, section 8.6.3 (Check Boxes))

We've checked this behavior on Acrobat and many other readers and they all behave the same.

Hi nermeen,

thank you for this feedback.
This actually simplifies matters, as a single check box field can now hold a single value.
I will have to make some adjustments to my templates, but I'm fine with this.

There is still a bug, though: ExportForm() does not behave correctly with the new check box value handling.
If you change check box values, ExportForm() returns the correct values.
However, if you open the document without changing check box values, ExportForm() returns false for all check box values.

Note: radio buttons are not affected by this, only check boxes.

While I am it it, ExportForm() has several other issues...
Maybe I should open a separate threads for them?

Regards,
Michele

<EST-ANNO-1></EST-ANNO-1>
<EST-ANNO-2></EST-ANNO-2>
<OXY-MESE-1></OXY-MESE-1>
<OXY-ANNO-1></OXY-ANNO-1>
<OXY-MESE-2></OXY-MESE-2>

<SOC-ANNO-1></SOC-ANNO-1>
<SOC-MESE-2></SOC-MESE-2>

<commento2></commento2>
<commento3></commento3>
<binario></binario>
<varie></varie>
<data_HU></data_HU>
</fields>

which "Check Box1" is not checked and "Check Box2" is checked.
"Check Box1" and "Check Box2" only has single value for whole group.

Indeed it does... until you close and reopen the PDF document.
If you close and reopen the document and call ExportForm() without otherwise interacting with the document, 'Off' will be returned for all checkbox fields.
