Members

  Member nameValueDescription
Default0 Not specified.
ReadOnly1 If set, the user may not change the value of the field. Any associated widget annotations will not interact with the user; that is, they will not respond to mouse clicks or change their appearance in response to mouse motions. This flag is useful for fields whose values are computed or imported from a database.
Required2 If set, the field shall have a value at the time it is exported by a submit-form action.
NoExport4 If set, the field shall not be exported by a submit-form action.
NoToggleToOff16384 (Radio buttons only) If set, exactly one radio button shall be selected at all times; selecting the currently selected button has no effect. If clear, clicking the selected button deselects it, leaving no button selected.
Radio32768 If set, the field is a set of radio buttons; if clear, the field is a check box. This flag may be set only if the PushButton flag is clear.
Pushbutton65536 If set, the field is a pushbutton that does not retain a permanent value.
RadiosInUnison67108864 If set, a group of radio buttons within a radio button field that use the same value for the on state will turn on and off in unison; that is if one is checked, they are all checked. If clear, the buttons are mutually exclusive (the same behavior as HTML radio buttons).
Multiline4096 If set, the field may contain multiple lines of text; if clear, the field’s text shall be restricted to a single line.
Password8192 If set, the field is intended for entering a secure password that should not be echoed visibly to the screen. Characters typed from the keyboard shall instead be echoed in some unreadable form, such as asterisks or bullet characters. NOTE To protect password confidentiality, readers should never store the value of the text field in the PDF file if this flag is set.
FileSelect1048576 If set, the text entered in the field represents the pathname of a file whose contents shall be submitted as the value of the field.
DoNotSpellCheck4194304 If set, text entered in the field shall not be spell-checked.
DoNotScroll8388608 If set, the field shall not scroll (horizontally for single-line fields, vertically for multiple-line fields) to accommodate more text than fits within its annotation rectangle. Once the field is full, no further text shall be accepted for interactive form filling; for non-interactive form filling, the filler should take care not to add more character than will visibly fit in the defined area.
Comb16777216 May be set only if the MaxLen entry is present in the text field dictionary (see Table 229) and if the Multiline, Password, and FileSelect flags are clear. If set, the field shall be automatically divided into as many equally spaced positions, or combs, as the value of MaxLen, and the text is laid out into those combs.
RichText33554432 If set, the value of this field shall be a rich text string (see 12.7.3.4, “Rich Text Strings”). If the field has a value, the RV entry of the field dictionary (Table 222) shall specify the rich text string.
Combo131072 If set, the field is a combo box; if clear, the field is a list box.
Edit262144 If set, the combo box shall include an editable text box as well as a drop-down list; if clear, it shall include only a drop-down list. This flag shall be used only if the Combo flag is set.
Sort524288 If set, the field’s option items shall be sorted alphabetically. This flag is intended for use by writers, not by readers. Conforming readers shall display the options in the order in which they occur in the Opt array.
MultiSelect2097152 If set, more than one of the field’s option items may be selected simultaneously; if clear, at most one item shall be selected.
CommitOnSelChange134217728 If set, the new value shall be committed as soon as a selection is made (commonly with the pointing device). In this case, supplying a value for a field involves three actions: selecting the field for fill-in, selecting a choice for the fill-in value, and leaving that field, which finalizes or “commits” the data choice and triggers any actions associated with the entry or changing of this data. If this flag is on, then processing does not wait for leaving the field action to occur, but immediately proceeds to the third step. This option enables applications to perform an action once a selection is made, without requiring the user to exit the field. If clear, the new value is not committed until the user exits the field.
