Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:06 PM

Hi everyone,

I am trying to fill a RADIO BUTTON using the PdfTk utility.

Does anyone knows how to place the selection of a especific Button using this tool???

I got the field names this way:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

pdftk cuadro.pdf dump_data_fields output cuadro.txt

and got this information:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

---
FieldType: Button
FieldName: seccion
FieldFlags: 0
FieldJustification: Left
FieldStateOption: 1
FieldStateOption: 2
FieldStateOption: 3
FieldStateOption: 4
FieldStateOption: 5
FieldStateOption: 6
FieldStateOption: Off
---

But I don't know how to place the selection.
I Hope somebody can help me with this situation....
Thanks in advance...

I know it's an old thread but just in case my answer might help someone that need the solution

Bayron,
1. Fill up the pdf form and saved it.
2. Use pdftk to dump the fdf of the filled pdf form

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

       pdftk filled_pdf_form.pdf generate_fdf output filled_pdf_form.dfd.txt

3. Study the generated fdf file to see how the value is specified
