Thanks, I had not seen the RadioCheckField class yet. I will look into it. I have attached the output PDF. I get the same results with RadioButtons using basically the same code.

Just looking at your code, it looks OK. Two things. 1) The RadioCheckField class does all this for you. I strongly recommend you use it instead. 2) Can we see your PDF? --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com import legalese.Disclaimer; Disclaimer<Cardiff> DisCard = null; ________________________________ From: Bruce Tompkinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [iText-questions] Checkbox not displaying "check mark" whenselected. Hello, I am attempting to add a check box to my PDF using iTextSharp and the following code: PdfFormField field = PdfFormField.CreateCheckBox(m_PDFWriter); Rectangle box = new Rectangle(m_CurrentX, m_CurrentY, m_CurrentX + Width, m_CurrentY + Width); field.SetWidget(box, PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_INVERT); field.Flags = PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_PRINT; field.FieldName = FieldName; field.ValueAsName = Value ? "On" : "Off"; field.AppearanceState = Value ? "On" : "Off"; field.MKBorderColor = m_ForeColor; field.MKBackgroundColor = m_FillColor; PdfAppearance onApp = PdfAppearance.CreateAppearance(m_PDFWriter, Width, Width); onApp.SetFontAndSize(m_Font.BaseFont, m_FontSize); onApp.SetColorFill(m_FillColor); onApp.SetColorStroke(m_ForeColor); onApp.Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Width); onApp.FillStroke(); PdfAppearance offApp = PdfAppearance.CreateAppearance(m_PDFWriter, Width, Width); offApp.SetFontAndSize(m_Font.BaseFont, m_FontSize); offApp.SetColorFill(m_FillColor); offApp.SetColorStroke(m_ForeColor); offApp.Rectangle(0, 0, Width - 1, Width - 1); offApp.FillStroke(); PdfAppearance defaultApp = PdfAppearance.CreateAppearance(m_PDFWriter, Width, Width); defaultApp.SetFontAndSize(m_Font.BaseFont, m_FontSize); defaultApp.SetColorFill(m_FillColor); defaultApp.SetColorStroke(m_ForeColor); field.SetAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, "On", onApp); field.SetAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, "Off", offApp); field.DefaultAppearanceString = defaultApp; m_PDFWriter.AddAnnotation(field); The checkbox appears correctly whether or not it is on or off with the check mark displayed correctly. When the checkbox is selected with the mouse the box becomes completely filled with the fill color and the mark is not visible, whether the next state is "On" or "Off". I almost looks like there is a pattern that needs to be set for the rectangle that will display the checkmark when it is filled. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
