I've put together a form and have my pdf configured so that I'm pulling
populated data into it. It all works fine from start to finish, except for
select_multiple options. If I select one of from the list, it is displayed
in the pdf, but if I select more than one nothing is checked in my check
boxes on the pdf. Does anyone know of a way around this? Been trying
everything and nothing seems to work so that more than one option is
checked.
Have each check box addressing the same name from my xls form with the
export value in the pdf reading the label from my choices tab, yet nothing
seems to be working when I select more than one option in my form.
select-multiple questions have their values stored as a space-separated
list. So if you checked two options with display labels "A" and "B" with
values "a_value", "b_value", the field would contain:
"a_value b_value"
in no particular order.
Your PDF renderer should split the value in these fields on space
characters. Then loop through all of the parts to map them back into
display labels.

A bit off-topic, but can you tell me more about this PDF renderer?
What high-level problem does it solve and is it a tool you can share
with the community?
