Checkboxes don't have values even when checked

[jpope19]

Have a basic form with checkboxes, dropdowns, and textboxes. Checkboxes not showing that they are clicked via pdfParser.getAllFieldsTypes() nor traversing the formImage object -- formImage.Pages[i].Boxsets[j]

Also got this issue. Any work around?

Nope 👎🏻 made a proprietary solution and ditched the library On Wed, May 16, 2018 at 9:20 PM Artem Aleksandruk [email protected] wrote:

maybe you guys should dig into pdf.js a little more

I need a quick pdf extract data setup. Pdf.js seemed to big for what I need right now prototyping. I got everything I needed. I switched to radio buttons and group and I now have a “checked field” but they are retuning only false. Might have to go to PDF.js

through pdf.js basic api you can get all the word position

I just ended up using https://github.com/euske/pdfminer and through a subprocess/exec

Thats exactly what I am looking for but was hoping to use node.js and not python. I am still learning and I am a Jr developer tasked to use node to solve this project to extract all data and turn it to a JSON object. I was able to achieve the text with this library but having issues with checkboxes and radio buttons. :/

Thanks for the advice and responses!

[Marcosmaliki]

Do we have a solution for this?

Hi everyone! I am also using this library to convert pdf to json, but have the same issue with checkboxes. Do anyone have any ideas how to overgo it?
