Populating checkboxes with AutoFiller

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

I’m using AutoFiller to populate a PDF form, and it all works quite nicely but I’m having a little trouble with checkbox fields. The problem is that if the data I’m using to populate the checkbox (so it’s either checked or not checked) contains a space, the checkbox field doesn’t work. (It works fine if the data doesn’t contain a space.)

For example, say I have a checkbox field called:
“OpportunityStatus” and the expression to evaluate is “Closed”.

If my data table has:

DataTable dt = new DataTable(“Opportunities”);
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(“OpportunityStatus”);
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[“OpportunityStatus”] = “Closed”;

When I use AutoFiller with this data and the field described, the checkbox will come out checked.

If, however, I change the data to:
dr[“OpportunityStatus”] = “Closed Won”, and make the corresponding change to the PDF form field (to evaluate to “Closed Won”), the checkbox field doesn’t come out checked.

Do you have a suggestion on how to get this to work?

Thanks
Mike

Here you go, Luke. I’ve attached the simple code and the PDF Template:


protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable(“Projects”);
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(“Status”));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(“StatusWithSpace”));
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[“Status”] = “Active”;
dr[“StatusWithSpace”] = “In Progress”;
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

AutoFiller autoFiller = new AutoFiller();
autoFiller.InputFileName = @“C:\Checkbox Template.pdf”;
autoFiller.OutputStream = Response.OutputStream;

autoFiller.ImportDataTable(dt);
autoFiller.Save();

}

Luke,

It looks like the correction for this didn’t make it into the new 3.2.0.0 version, right? I didn’t try it, but I don’t see it listed in the Revision History. Any news on this?

Mike
