It is the answer for my quastion. You are repeating the answer because I do not
understand why method getField("fieldname") returns me "yes". Before I started
posted this questions I wrote code as you described and it gave me only "yes".
If everything is ok with pdf, method getField() should returns me name of the
chosen button? Wright?
> Just to make sure: we aren't talking about XFDF, are we?
No we are not talking about XFDF. We are talking about PDF contains data.
In the beginning I have pdf document only with empty acro fields. Then I fill
in those acro fields and save the document. And then I read the document and I
want to get data stored in pdf and put into xml.

I've read this answer and I fully understand it.
Thank you for your answers and sorry for frustrating you.

OK, just like:

In my case EN, FR, NL.

I don't understand the above, but I read on in the hope that
I'll understand the context.

So you need to build an XML file based on the values
entered in a PDF document. OK, I'm still with you.

That's different from what I understood when I read your
original question. Your pretended it was:
Radio button named //ProductId
* product a 'on' on-value, 'off' off-value
* product b 'on' on-value, 'off' off-value
* product c 'on' on-value, 'off' off-value
* product d 'on' on-value, 'off' off-value
I'm happy for you that this isn't the case.
> I choose product 'b' so it looks like this:
> Radio button named //ProductId
> * 'off'
> * 'b'
> * 'off'
> * 'off'
OK.
In my example, I have:
* EN
* Off
* Off
This is the value chosen in an EXISTING PDF file.
One that is filled in and saved.
> I want to check radio button and take from it value 'b'
In my case form.getField("person.preferred");
This will return "EN".
Note that this was my original answer (12:20).
In your case getField will return "b".
(Have you actually tried this?)
> and put into xml file in exact place:
> <ProductId>b</ProductId>
OK,
in my case I would produce something like
<person>
...
<language>FR</language>
<preferred>EN</preferred>
<knowledge>
<English>Yes</English>
<French>Yes</French>
<Dutch>No</Dutch>
</knowledge>
...
</person>
Just to make sure: we aren't talking about XFDF, are we?
We are just talking about XML you are creating yourself.
> I do not know how to do that and if it's possible with iText.
What is the question? This works!
> I need name of the product because I have to know what path I have to choose.
But you HAVE the name of the product if you use the getField method...
Of course, suppose that you have a similar form like mine:
English [ ]
French [ ]
Dutch [ ]
With [ ] the widgets of the radio buttons corresponding with the
values "EN", "FR", and "NL", then you WILL NEVER be able to know
that "English" corresponds with "EN", "French" with "FR" and
"Dutch" with "NL", unless you have this information elsewhere.
Is that your problem? Because if it isn't, you are frustrating me.
I keep on repeating the same answer because IT IS the answer
to your question, but you keep on ASKING THE SAME QUESTION.

I would rather you READ this answer AND CLEARLY INDICATE what
you don't understand in my answer.
