Checking checkboxes from XML data (Designer and LiveCycle Output)

[Former Community Member]

Hello!

I have over 3 thousand XML files containing information to be converted into PDF files. Among the info I have fields like:

          <REASON1>X</REASON1>

  <REASON2></REASON2>

So on the XDP fields this translates as checkboxes.

So I tried this script to mark the correspondent checkboxes in the resulting PDF:

if (xfa.resolveNode("REASON1").rawValue == "X") {

          this.rawValue = 1;

}

Well, it doesn't work.

The checkbox is identified as REASON1 in the Binding tab, everything looks correct to me.

Please, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for any hints!

Hi Marcos,

Just a suggestion - would it help if you changed the On value of the checkbox to X in LC Designer, Object > Binding palette? Instead of 1.

Hi Niall,

Would you believe if I told you I had already tried this and it hadn't worked?

After your suggestion, I tried again. And guess, it worked.

I had probably missed something ...

Thank you!!!
