Can you give us more information (like an example pdf so we can replicate this?).

@whitef0x0 I've found that it depends on the PDF, but most checkboxes or radios I have found you need to set them to "Yes" or "On" in order to mark them checked

Any news about this? I have generated the FDF template for my PDF file. Which has something like:

topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].CheckBox1[0]: ""

I try to set that field to Yes in order to check the checkbox within the PDF and it doesn't work. I have properly populated other fields.

The data I am using is created like:

const preffixPage1 = "topmostSubform[0].Page1[0]";
    // use the utility function `generateFDFTemplate` if needed to generate the FDF object and know the keys
    const data = {
      "topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].CheckBox1[0]": "Yes",
      [`${preffixPage1}.#area[1].SSN1[0]`]: "023",
      [`${preffixPage1}.#area[1].SSN2[0]`]: "45",
      [`${preffixPage1}.#area[1].SSN3[0]`]: "6789",
      [`${preffixPage1}.CityStateZipCode[0]`]: faker.address.zipCode(),
      [`${preffixPage1}.Address[0]`]: faker.address.streetAddress(),
      [`${preffixPage1}.Email[0]`]: faker.internet.email(),
      [`${preffixPage1}.Name[0]`]: faker.name.findName(),
      [`${preffixPage1}.Phone1[0]`]: faker.phone.phoneNumber(),
      [`${preffixPage1}.Phone2[0]`]: faker.phone.phoneNumber(),
    };

Screenshot of the PDF:

@whitef0x0 any idea? Sorry to bother if this is a bug I am happy to fix it. I just wanted to double check this issue since it is pretty needed feature and I am not able to do it.

From what I can see at https://github.com/pdffillerjs/pdffiller/blob/master/test/test_complete.pdf and https://github.com/pdffillerjs/pdffiller/blob/master/test/test.js#L30 it should work as expected not sure what I am doing wrong.

Having the same problem.

export_value

Im setting the export value to Yes on the PDF and am using this object to pass through the pdffiller method. Everything is filling but checkboxes. Code also works with other PDFs but for some reason not this one.@duranmla were you able to resolve this?
