Hi all... I'm trying to extract fields from a pdf document using getpdf

Hi bhargavie,

Yes, getpdffields function is not reading radio button / check box fields, but Text, Text multi, combo box, list box fields are returned properly.
To find the reason OR for any alternative approach, please consider below comments.
1) Investigate whether getpdffields function actually returns radio button, check box fields. You can use org.apache.pdfbox apidocs. The PDF tools plugin uses this PDFBox library only.
2) If it does not return, you will have to create your own custom function to support this feature. The above mentioned library contains many useful methods for that, simply research online.
