Make sure the checkbox and radio box values match those in the PDF file.
Make sure you use the same values in your CF7 field as displayed by the “New Tag:” line in the Input Field Mapper Tool when you select the right PDF field in the dropdown.
What exactly doesn’t work? Is the checkbox in the PDF file not filled? Or something else?
I am using the “Get Tag” button to create the CF7 form.
The checkbox are not filled.
Maybe the problem is coming from my pdf document (created with pdf element 6).
Is there a way to debug ?
Can you send me the PDF file (to admin at maximum.software)? I can try to reproduce the bug on my end.
It looks like the PDF has a few options for those fields. Option “0” is the one that activates the button (rather than the actual text value or the “Yes” value). There is a bug in the plugin, it omits the “0” value. I will deploy a fix with the next version. However, you may still want to fix the PDF. Fields need to be activated by proper text values. Otherwise, your site will have “0” as an option, but you may want to have an actual text instead.
I’m having a similar issue. Can I provide you the PDF and have you take a look? What email address should I send it to?
Send it to admin at maximum dot software.
The field in question had a really long name. This generated a long base64 string for the contact form field. The problem turned out to be possibly the firewall stripping out the field from the request due to possibly detecting a very long base64 string.
In such cases I recommend using the field mapper feature (and not the tag generator).
By the way, for people who want to use different values in their CF7 forms, you can use the pipe feature.

You can use it with checkbox and radio tags too.
