checkboxes...I can't get them to check

    pdf.text :responsenotes, @cn.response_note

No problem with text fields...I can do anything I want but a checkbox
remains unchecked no matter...

    pdf.text :additionalcomments, 'TRUE'
    pdf.text :additionalcomments, 'true'
    pdf.text :additionalcomments, '1'
    pdf.text :additionalcomments, TRUE
    pdf.text :additionalcomments, 1

Looking at lib/pdf/pdf-stamper.rb it appears that everything must be a
string but heck, I'm starting to get desparate.

How does one get a 'checked' checkbox?

Craig

I'm not sure how this would work either.  I don't even know if iText
supports this.

puts me in a world of hurt, I didn't realize the limitation of this...

Is this where I might have a picture of a checkbox that is checked and
replace the button with an image?
