Issues with Radio Button from PDF built in InDesign

Hello!

I am having an issue with checking radio buttons on documents from Adobe InDesign using the Merger. I have ensure that I am using both the correct name and the correct ExportValue from the document. I have found that setting the value of a radio button in a document build in FoxIT works without any issues. But when InDesign is used to export the Interactive PDF, the setting of the radio buttons value fails.

The code that I am using is as follows:

MergeDocument document = new MergeDocument(filepath);
document.Form.Fields["TestButton"].Value = "Yes";
document.Form.NeedsAppearances = true;
document.Draw(drawPath);

Immediately after setting the value as I have above, I also performed a check to verify that the value is actually being set and I have found that it is not.  When I open the document, the only thing that is shown is the empty radio buttons.

Once again, this is only happening from documents interactive forms built in InDesign.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

It looks like you are trying to fill an XFA form. DynamicPDF Core Suite for .NET supports form filling for static XFA forms with a field entry but does not support dynamic XFA forms. Please refer to the documentation on product limitations here.

If you continue facing an issue, please send over following information to support@dynamicpdf.com  so we can look into it further.

1.        Source PDF used for merging and filling.
2.        Code sample used for merging and filling.
3.        Exact version and build number of the DynamicPDF DLL file used in your application. You can get this information by right clicking on the DynamicPDF DLL file>>Properties>>Details tab. Take a screenshot of Details tab and send it over to us.

Hello,

After some more investigation and speaking to someone over and InDesign, I don't believe that this is the issue as InDesign cannot export an XFA document. It can only export a Dynamic PDF but not a Dynamic or Static XFA. I will send the documents over though.
