  • Are those checkboxes active form elements? In that case look for form element handling API methods in the APIs you try, e.g. `AcroFields acroFields = pdfReader.getAcroFields()` in case of iText for Java. – mkl Jan 22 '14 at 15:19
  • no, this is not an active form elements. and Acrofields class is not parse it corrected. Is any other option for extract not active forms elements? – Akshay Mar 01 '14 at 09:59

    So the boxes most likely are normal page content. Are they some image (bitmap, e.g. in scanned documents), some vector drawing, or are the check boxes characters from some symbol font? It would be easiest if you simply shared the PDF for inspection purposes. A newer question from you seems to point into the scanned-document direction. – mkl Mar 01 '14 at 11:34
  • Hi! Any answer to this question? I have the same problem. Basically it's a PDF form that has been printed out to a solid PDF, so it doesn't recognize the fields. What can we do? – Tohid Aug 07 '14 at 21:03
  • @mkl - I asked the question again and included a sample file: http://stackoverflow.com/q/25210668/538387 – Tohid Aug 08 '14 at 19:14
  • The comment Chris gave you to that other question most likely is what you will get without employing some expert. It depends on the PDF library of your choice how to implement Chris' idea. I haven't done anything like that before, and as I understand Chris neither has he. – mkl Aug 08 '14 at 21:37
