How to Add Checkbox Field in PDF?

While working with PDF forms, you need to create checkboxes for data collection when there are lists of options and the user may select any number of choices, including zero, one, or several. In other words, each checkbox is independent of all other checkboxes in the list, so checking one box doesn’t uncheck the others. In this release, Aspose.PDF Cloud introduced support of checkbox field. Now you can add, update and get checkbox from PDF document or specific page or by checkbox field name.

Follow these steps to add a pre-selected checkbox field in a PDF document:

How to Add Radio Button Field in PDF?

A radio button is a very common control used in the forms. These are used when there is a list of two or more options that are mutually exclusive and the user must select exactly one choice. In other words, clicking a non-selected radio button will deselect whatever other button was previously selected in the list. Now you can add, update, and get radio buttons from PDF document or specific page or by radio button field name.

Here we demonstrate how to add a radio button into a PDF document using C#:
