Issue Populating PDF Checkbox via VBA that didn't Exist on Previous Form

-

hello.

 

i grateful if shed light on issue have spent hours , hours on it, combing through forums. i'm sure has simple solution haven't solved it!

 

i had written vba code populated irs form (1095c 2015) excel data. included form fields excepted text , numerical data checkboxes.

 

e.g.

the form field name: "topmostsubform[0].page1[0].employeename[0].f1_002[0]" given value employee's name, such "john smith"

the form field name: "topmostsubform[0].page1[0].line17[0].c1_011[0]" checkbox given value of "1" or "0"

 

however, when trying perform same task on 2016 version of same form, not allowing me populate of checkboxes, although can still populate other fields no problem. of form names different in 2016 version, code has been updated reflect this.

 

so, if try populate same field names shown above (which exist in 2016 version exact same names):

the form field name: "topmostsubform[0].page1[0].employeename[0].f1_002[0]" populates fine, did before.

however checkbox form field name: "topmostsubform[0].page1[0].line17[0].c1_011[0]" no longer populates, nor other checkbox.

 

the 2016 checkboxes still accept "1" , "0" valid inputs (as can read field values pdf form fill in manually) yet can not them accept data when filled via vba code. i'm not experienced pdf forms seems there different checkboxes in 2016 form 2015 form.

 

any or advice appreciated! thank you!

shape alpha vs layer alpha in cc library

-
i noticed bug or unfortunate flaw or isn't supported yet. set layer percentage of transparency if shapes overlap in layer not make dark line in overlap , faster set layer , make shapes rather make shapes , edit transparency after making each shape.   for reason shapes don't work when going illustrator photoshop, after effects or animator. reason settings layer transparency ignored shadows come out solid colors. yet if remove transparency setting on layer , re-add shape works fine.   this not big of deal normally, have thousands of graphics transparency on layer huge amount of work try , utilize them via cc library. i think 1 feature request form: illustrator feature request/bug report form More discussions in Illustrator adobe
