In adobe reader for % example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance % itself % \item Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too % (as you typically can't change the PDF). % \end{itemize} % \section{Checkboxes} % Click me: % \ExplSyntaxOn % \pdffield_checkbox:n{name=bear,appearance=pdffield/bear,width=23pt,height=30pt,depth=10pt} % \ExplSyntaxOff % % \bigskip % \subsection{Commands} % \begin{function}{\pdffield_checkbox:n} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{pdffield_checkbox:n}\Arg{key val list} % \end{syntax} % This creates a checkbox to check and uncheck. The list of allowed keys is described below. % The \meta{key val list} should at least set the name, without it the default name % |checkbox| is used. Checkboxes with the same % name belong to the same field and are checked and unchecked together. The default appearance % is a quadratic frame with a \cs{texttimes} in it for the checked case. % The default appearance is setup at the first use and will use the font family % active at that time. % \end{function} % % % \subsection{Keys} % % The new checkbox command accept all field and annot keys from l3pdffield. % A few keys are disabled or are forced to specific values. % The |appearance| keys have a more checkbox specific % behaviour, other keys have other defaults than with the basic commands. % Additionally there % are a small number of keys specific to a checkbox. % For convenience a number of important keys are documented here too, even if % they are already in the document from l3pdffield. % % % Disabled keys are % \begin{itemize} % \item |V|, |DV|, |AS|: use |checked| instead. % \item |FT| is overwritten. % \item For checkboxes only the field flags |ReadOnly|, |Required| and |NoExport| % make sense. % |Radio|, |Pushbotton| are set automatically automatically by the code % as this is required for a checkbox. % \end{itemize} % % \begin{function}{preset-checkbox} % \begin{syntax} % |preset-checkbox| = \Arg{key-val-list} % \end{syntax} % This allows to set default keys for a checkbox. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{name,T} % \begin{syntax} % |name| = \meta{partial name}\\ % |T| = \meta{partial name} % \end{syntax} % This sets the partial name of the field. The value % shouldn't contain a period, be not empty and sensibly consist of simple chars. % Additionally the value is used to create the field ID. % This means that checkboxes with the same partial name are annotations % with the same field as parent and are checked and unchecked together---this % what is typically expected. % The field ID is then internal and can not be used to % attach another annotation. % For explicit control of the field ID use the |fieldID| key. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{fieldID} % \begin{syntax} % |fieldID| = \meta{field ID}\\ % \end{syntax} % \emph{For experts only!} % This allows to give the checkbox field a specific ID. This is only useful % in the context of a larger fieldset, if for example you want to use % the same partial name for more than one field, or if you want to attach another annotation % to the field with \cs{pdffield_annot:n}. If used wrongly you can % easily create invalid fieldset. It allows you to create to fields with the % same partial name, but if you want to see both % you need to ensure that their full names are % different---for example by adding some parent fields. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{parent} % \begin{syntax} % |parent| = \meta{field ID}\\ % \end{syntax} % This is only needed if the field should be part % of a larger fieldset. The value should be a field ID of a field created previously % with \cs{pdffield_field:nn}. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{altname,TU} % \begin{syntax} % |altname| = \meta{string}\\ % |TU| = \meta{string}\\ % \end{syntax} % This is sets an alternative name for user interaction. % This name can only be set at the first checkbox instance, when the field is initialized. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{mappingname,TM} % \begin{syntax} % |mappingname| = \meta{string}\\ % |TM| = \meta{string}\\ % \end{syntax} % This is sets an alternative name for export. % This name can only be set at the first checkbox instance, when the field is initialized. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{width,height,depth} % \begin{syntax} % |width| = \meta{dim expression}\\ % |height| = \meta{dim expression}\\ % |depth| = \meta{dim expression} % \end{syntax} % These keys allow to set the dimensions of checkbox instance. % The value should be a dimension expression. By default % |width| and |height| use \cs{normalbaselineskip}, the |depth| is zero. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{AP/N,appearance,AP/R,rollover-appearance,AP/D,down-appearance} % \begin{syntax} % |AP/N| = \meta{partial appearance name}\\ % |appearance| = \meta{partial appearance name}\\ % |AP/R| = \meta{partial appearance name}\\ % |rollover-appearance| = \meta{partial appearance name}\\ % |AP/D| = \meta{partial appearance name}\\ % |down-appearance| = \meta{partial appearance name} % \end{syntax} % This keys sets the normal appearance, the rollover appearance (when the % mouse hovers over the checkbox) and the down appearance (when the % mouse clicks). They take as value a % \meta{partial appearance name} and expects that \emph{two} form Xobjects % \meta{partial appearance name}|/Yes| and \meta{partial appearance name}|/Off| % has been created. The initial value is |pdffield/checkbox/default| % for the normal appearance and shows a \cs{texttimes}. % The other appearances are not set by default. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{checked} % \begin{syntax} % |checked| = |true|\verb"|"|false| % \end{syntax} % This is a boolean key which allows to set if the % checkbox should be initially checked or not. It sets the |/V| and |/DV| key of the field % and the |/AS| key of the annotation instance. It is possible to use different % values for different instances, if one wants to confuse the user. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{value,default} % \begin{syntax} % |value| = |Yes|\verb"|"|Off|\\ % |default| = |Yes|\verb"|"|Off|\\ % \end{syntax} % With checkboxes this two key are simply an alternative input for |checked|. % \end{function} % % \subsection{Using with hyperref} % The \cs{CheckBox} command from hyperref also prints a label, something that the % command here doesn't do. A redefinition like the following should allow \cs{CheckBox} % to use the commands of this module. Be aware that the behaviour will not be identical! % Not every setting and key from \pkg{hyperref} has been copied. % % \begin{verbatim} % \ExplSyntaxOn\makeatletter % \def\@CheckBox[#1]#2{\LayoutCheckField{#2}{\pdffield_checkbox:n {name=#2,#1}}} % \ExplSyntaxOff\makeatother % \end{verbatim} % % \subsection{Some background} % For some general background about fieldsets, fields and field annotations, please % check \pkg{l3pdffield}. Here are only some remarks about the special case of % checkboxes. % % A checkbox consist of a field along with one or more field annotations. % The annotations can appear on more than one page or locations and if one instance % is checked all other instances follows and are checked too. % % A checkbox has two different looks: checked and unchecked. The hyperref % implementation uses symbolic names for the two states and adds some % values with the /MK key and lets the PDF viewer % create a look from them. But this doesn't work reliably and is one of the reasons % why a reimplementation is needed. Also newer PDF versions % deprecate the /NeedAppearances setting and require that such a look, % an \enquote{appearance}, is given as form XObjects. % So the code forces the use of two appearances. % % \end{documentation} % % \begin{implementation} % \DoNotIndex % {\\ % ,\bitset_clear:N % ,\bitset_new:Nn % ,\bitset_set_false:Nn % ,\bitset_set_true:Nn % ,\bitset_to_arabic:N % ,\bool_new:N % ,\box_dp:N % ,\box_ht:N % ,\clist_map_inline:nn % ,\color_export:nnN % ,\color_set:nn % ,\color_set:nnn % ,\cs_new_protected:Npn % ,\cs_new_protected:cpn % ,\cs_set_eq:NN % ,\cs_gset_eq:cN % ,\cs_set_protected:Npn % ,\cs_generate_variant:Nn % ,\cs_gset_eq:NN % ,\csname % ,\dim_eval:n % ,\dim_new:N % ,\endcsname % ,\exp_args:Ne % ,\fboxsep % ,\group_begin: % ,\group_end: % ,\hbox_to_wd:nn % ,\hfill % ,\hook_gput_code:nnn % ,\int_eval:n % ,\l_keys_choice_int % ,\keys_define:nn % ,\keys_set:nn % ,\mode_leave_vertical: % ,\msg_error:nnn % ,\msg_error:nnnn % ,\msg_new:nnn % ,\msg_warning:nn % ,\msg_warning:nnn % ,\msg_warning:nnnnn % ,\NeedsTeXFormat % ,\normalsize % ,\pdf_name_from_unicode_e:n % ,\pdf_object_if_exist:nTF % ,\pdf_object_if_exist:nF % ,\pdf_object_new:n % ,\pdf_object_ref:n % ,\pdf_object_ref_last: % ,\pdf_object_unnamed_write:nn % ,\pdf_object_write:nnn % ,\pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN % ,\pdfannot_box_ref_last: % ,\pdfannot_dict_put:nnn % ,\pdfannot_dict_remove:nn % ,\pdfannot_widget_box:nnn % ,\pdfdict_if_empty:nTF % ,\pdfdict_get:nnN % ,\pdfdict_new:n % ,\pdfdict_put:nnn % ,\pdfdict_remove:nn % ,\pdfdict_use:n % ,\pdfmanagement_add:nnn % ,\pdfmeta_standard_verify:nTF % ,\pdfxform_if_exist:nTF % ,\pdfxform_new:nnn % ,\pdfxform_ref:n % ,\phantom % ,\prg_do_nothing: % ,\ProvidesExplPackage % ,\rule % ,\seq_gput_right:Nn % ,\seq_if_exist:NTF % ,\seq_new:N % ,\seq_use:Nn % ,\str_if_empty:NTF % ,\str_if_in:NnTF % ,\str_new:N % ,\strut % ,\strutbox % ,\tl_if_empty:NTF % ,\tl_if_empty:NT % ,\tl_if_empty:NF % ,\tl_put_left:Nn % ,\tl_if_empty:nTF % ,\tl_if_head_eq_charcode:nNTF % ,\tl_new:N % ,\tl_set:Nn % ,\tl_to_str:n % ,\use:c % } % \section{\pkg{l3pdffield-checkbox} Implementation} % \begin{macrocode} %<*package> %<@@=pdffield> % \end{macrocode} % \subsection{Variables} % There are no specific variables. % \subsection{Messages} % There are no specific messages. % \subsection{Appearances} % The default appearances are a quadratic frame with cross (\cs{texttimes}) if % checked. % User appearances should have two versions and follow the naming % module/\meta{name}/Yes and module/\meta{name}/Off. % \begin{macro} % { % \@@_checkbox_default_appearances:, % pdffield/checkbox/default/Yes, % pdffield/checkbox/default/Off % } % This defines the standard appearance.
