    • setRadiosInUnison

      public void setRadiosInUnison(boolean radiosInUnison)
      From the PDF Spec
      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).
      Parameters:
      radiosInUnison - The new flag for radiosInUnison.
    • isRadiosInUnison

      public boolean isRadiosInUnison()
      Returns:
      true If the flag is set for radios in unison.
    • getSelectedIndex

      public int getSelectedIndex()
      This will get the selected index.

      A RadioButton might have multiple same value options which are not selected jointly if they are not set in unison isRadiosInUnison().

      The method will return the first selected index or -1 if no option is selected.

      Returns:
      the first selected index or -1.
    • getSelectedExportValues

      public List<String> getSelectedExportValues() throws IOException
      This will get the selected export values.

      A RadioButton might have an export value to allow field values which can not be encoded as PDFDocEncoding or for the same export value being assigned to multiple RadioButtons in a group.
      To define an export value the RadioButton must define options PDButton.setExportValues(List) which correspond to the individual items within the RadioButton.

      The method will either return the corresponding values from the options entry or in case there is no such entry the fields value

      Returns:
      the export value of the field.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case the fields value can not be retrieved
