Checkbox as form field not working

[John]

Dear support team,

I require a pdf with form fields - both checkboxes and a signature field. I have tried everything to get it to work but the checkboxes won't check when I click on them.
I've attached a simple MRT to demonstrate and the resulting PDF.
Here are the details:

• Each checkbox is marked as "Editable"
  I am using c# code in the background
  To get the signature field to work correctly, I am using a fix you gave me some time ago:

  Code: Select all

          public void SetSignatureField(object sender, Stimulsoft.Report.Events.StiValueEventArgs e)
          {
              e.Value = "pdfunsignedsignaturefield";
          }
  

  Also, on exporting the pdf, I am using the following setting:

  Code: Select all

  settings.AllowEditable = StiPdfAllowEditable.Yes;

When you open the PDF you will see that the checkboxes are displayed but when you click on one, nothing happens. What can I do to get it to work?
Many thanks.

Hello,

What product, version are you use? How do you export your report to PDF?

Thank you.

Thank-you for your reply and sorry for my delay in answering. I am using new dlls with version 2025.2.1.0. For the example I had to simplify things alot. In my code, the above report is added as a sub-report to a main StiReport. The problem, I have discovered, only happens when I have this constellation. I have modified the code so that the report is now stand-alone, no longer a sub-report and now it is working. This is a suitable work-around for me.
Thanks for your help.

Why are the checkboxes in my PDF form not responding when clicked, despite being marked as 'Editable' and using the correct export settings?
