# Checkbox Mapping

 * Just purchased the plugin – was able to get a large form filled with radio buttons
   mapped out, but for some reason the checkboxes aren’t mapping.
 * There is an outdated post from 2015 here that I tried following – couldn’t find
   further support for it though:
 * [https://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/support/subject/mapping-checkbox/](https://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/support/subject/mapping-checkbox/)
 * I tried both tactics but I’m still having issues. Also, the checkbox fields disappear
   on the exported PDF file.
 * Can you please let me know how to proceed?

 * The post is outdated but still accurate. Take a look at [this post](https://www.formidablepro2pdf.com/pdfescape-radio-button-checkbox-demo/)
   which includes a downloadable example.
 * Double-check your settings to be sure they are correct, most importantly;
    – 
   The PDF field’s EXPORT DATA value must match the Formidable Form checkbox value,
   exactly. – Each PDF field Name must be unique.
 * If you send your PDF to support AT formidablepro2pdf.com we’ll take a look at
   it and provide specific steps to resolve any issue.
 * We remain at your serivce.

 * Thanks for response. What does that looks like when each PDF field name us unique
   when you map it?
 * On the PDF
    Answer1, Answer2, Answer3, Answer4
 * On Formidable:
    QuestionValue: Answer1, Answer2, Answer3, Answer4
 * Mapped fields:
    [Formidable: Question] [PDF: Answer1] [Formidable: Question] [
   PDF: Answer2] [Formidable: Question] [PDF: Answer3] [Formidable: Question] [PDF:
   Answer4]
 * Is this right? It doesn’t work this way.
 * That’s my understanding – if that’s not right there needs to be a video walkthrough
   of this if possible.

 * Each Formidable Form Checkbox Field (no matter how many options it has) must 
   be mapped to each PDF Field Checkbox and each PDF Checkbox must have a unique
   field name.
 * So, if the Formidable Form checkbox ID is [100] and has 4 options (ANSWER1, ANSWER2,
   ANSWER3, ANSWER4)
    Then, map [100] to each of the 4 PDF Checkbox fields named(
   ANSWER1, ANSWER2, ANSWER3, ANSWER4) each with an EXPORT VALUE to match (ANSWER1,
   ANSWER2, ANSWER3, ANSWER4)
 * Here’s a video example of the above. If you still have issues, send us a PDF 
   form for instructions to match your form. [https://youtu.be/3BIH6IB_zBk](https://youtu.be/3BIH6IB_zBk)
 * FYI: There is a known issue with corrupting checkbox fields if they are incorrectly
   mapped. So, if all is mapped correctly, try replacing the PDF checkbox(es).
