  • Map checkbox groups and option keys to structured data columns.
  • Handle multi-select checkbox fields with list-based splitting.

  • Boolean token normalization covers yes/no, true/false, 1/0, and variants.

Frequently asked questions

Can DullyPDF auto-fill checkboxes in PDF forms?

Yes. DullyPDF supports rule-based checkbox automation with yes/no, presence, enum, and list modes.

How does checkbox group mapping work?

Each checkbox has a groupKey and optionKey. Map the group to a data column, and DullyPDF selects the correct option based on the cell value and rule type.

Does this work for forms with dozens of checkboxes?

Yes. Checkbox-heavy forms like medical intake and benefits enrollment are common use cases for rule-based automation.
