Is there a way to determine a field's visibility status? #1644
-
|
I am currently working with this library and I have some radio groups that are Yes/No except when no is selected, the field has a visibility of hidden so it should not show as checked. I've been combing through the acroField properties, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I am working with a pdf form. The form is filled out in a separate UI and then I am populating it with the values set by the user, using this package. |

I didn't figure this out on my own. I got help and this is what we ended up with. Once we have the field, we can access the acroField property and subsequently, the getWidgets() function. From there it's a matter of iterating over the widgets and checking to see if it has the annotation flag of hidden |

Not only does @iwilson001 not need anyone to find answers to his own questions, but he also enlightens us all by sharing his discoveries with the world. Not all heroes wear capes. |

w.hasFlag(AnnotationFlags.Hidden)where w is of type PDFWidgetAnnotation, and AnnotationFlags comes from this library, src/core/annotation/flags.ts.
