Hi,

I found issue in the Debenu PDF library.

Whenever I call the FlattenAllFormFields method, all form fields are flatten, but radio button groups don't.

This pdf was flatten and signed via Debenu. When you open it in Adobe Reader you can see active radio button groups, but other form field are correctly flatten.

Please how can I flatten radio button groups?

Hi Puty,

here in the forum there's an important sentence from AndrewC (R.I.P.):
"FormField flattening works much better in reverse because you can flatten the children before flattening the parent objects".
Perhaps this is the initial thing you should have an eye on?

FlattenAllFormFields still offers things for future options and isn't closed.
Try the normal FlattenFormFields in reverse order and see if it works better for you.

Hi Ingo,

I also tried the "flattenFormField (id)" method.

If the field type == 4 (radiobutton), I get his children through the "let subId = getFormFieldKidTempIndex (id, i)" method, where 'i' is the iterated number of children.

If I used this subId as an input to the "flattenFormField(subId)" method, but radio buttons wasn't flatten.

Please do you have any code that will make flatten on radio button group?

Hi Puty,

i don't have a sample.
Try the forum here (the samples section).
Try the online reference and the built in search functionality.
Try the developer guide.
Sometimes the sequence in doing something is important...

Hi Ingo,

I tried everything you wrote, but nothings works.

I think it's a bug in Debenu and it doesn't work.

I've checked your pdf now.
You didn't tell us that it's made with the iOS-version of the library.
Most knowledge exchange here is depending on the windows version of the library.
When i open the pdf with the acrobat reader, adobe is telling me that there are probs with at least one signature.
Perhaps this points to an error?
If i count all form fields of your pdf the result is one and this form field is the signature field.
Never the less i can still change the radio form fields.
I think that you've made some mistakes using the loop and the correct sequence flattening the form fields.
I fear without your code posted here nobody will be able to point you in the right direction.
Sorry.

Hi Ingo,

I wrote support and it's a bug. They'll try to fix it.
