Problem implementing PDF radio button fields

QUESTION

Problem implementing PDF radio button fields

Asked 2020-Jul-17 at 10:08

I'm currently in the process of implementing support for AcroForm for HexaPDF. Check boxes are already working fine but radio buttons give me a headache.

I created a simple PDF with two radio buttons. As far as I can tell the resulting PDF contains the needed objects and is structured according to the the PDF 1.7 specification. However, at least in Adobe Reader and Evince clicking on the radio buttons does nothing.

From the PDF:

There is the radio button field (object 6):
...

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Jul-17 at 10:08

Turns out the field flags /Ff were wrongly set due to the age old "off by one" indexing error. The PDF specification uses 1-based indices in the bit descriptions, Ruby uses 0-based indices when accessing individual bits of an integer.

Therefore the "radio" bit was not set and thus the buttons couldn't work because they weren't radio buttons.

After changing the indexing the PDF can now be viewed fine in the viewers.

Install hexapdf

Since HexaPDF is written in Ruby, a working Ruby installation is needed - see the official installation documentation for details. Note that you need Ruby version 2.4 or higher as prior versions are not supported!. Apart from Ruby itself the HexaPDF library has only one external dependency geom2d which is written and provided by the HexaPDF authors. The hexapdf application has an additional dependency on cmdparse, a command line parsing library. HexaPDF itself is distributed via Rubygems and therefore easily installable via gem install hexapdf.
