Description

Before v3.0.0 is was possible to get the selected state simply by using the isChecked() function. After updating to v.3.0.0 the function always returns false with the same input PDF that works well til v2.0.30.

There are no migration advices so I think this is a bug.

This is the code I use for filtering selected checkboxes. but now always returns an empty list (in contrast to v2.0.30)

private List<PDField> filterCheckedCheckboxes(List<PDField> fields) {
  return filterByType(fields, PDCheckBox.class)
   .stream()
   .filter(PDCheckBox::isChecked)
   .map(PDField.class::cast)
   .toList();
}

 

I can also find no test for PDCheckBox.isChecked()
