This property allows you access to the value of the field.

You may wish to assign or query the form field value using this property.

Text fields have a free-text value.

Checkboxes and Radio Buttons have a value which is either "Off" or the on-state of the control as specified in the Options.

Combo Boxes and List Boxes have values restricted to a set of selections as specified in the Options property.

Pushbuttons and Signatures do not have a value.

Common Operations.

Set the value of a text field:

[C#]
theField.Value = "Mr Jones";

[Visual Basic]
theField.Value = "Mr Jones"

Set a checkbox:

[C#]
theField.Value = theField.Options[0];

[Visual Basic]
theField.Value = theField.Options(0)

Clear a checkbox:

[C#]
theField.Value = "Off";

Multiline Form Fields Tip.

When inserting carriage returns into multiline form fields use carriage returns (\r) only.

Using line feeds (\n) or a carriage return linefeed combination (\r\n) is less compatible with older versions of Acrobat.
