Hi,
I have a form which has the checkboxes. I have a screen to capture the inputs of the form from user where I am using multiple checkbox field to capture an answer. Then I need to generate the PDF of that form. I am facing the challenge to fill the tick mark or X in the box in the checkbox field in PDF. How can I accomplish this? Any help?
Thanks,
Brinda Sateesh

You can directly show the answer of the checkBox in pdf, like if the answer of the checkBox is "NO" or "YES", you can show directly the answer in the pdf
You have to edit the export value in Adobe to use the word "Yes". Then in Appian, pass 0 or 1 as a boolean to check it.
In the most recent PDF i built, when using the "Fill PDF" smart service (which i recommend since it allows you to pass in an expression to contain the values, instead of filling them out one-by-one in the clunky older node setup), after some experimentation I discovered that the checkboxes only worked when I passed values of "Yes" and "Off". I don't remember whether the "unchecked" condition required "Off" or just anything other than "Yes" to be unchecked, but the "filled" condition definitely required a text value of "Yes". Note, though, that this might depend on the particular configuration of the particular checkboxes in your PDF template.
