Get status of radiobuttons and checkboxes?

[Rapid1898-code]

Hello - i try to get the status (checked / unchecked) of the radiobuttons and checkboxes in this document.

I tried it with the following code but I always get a None return

Example

from PyPDF2 import PdfReader

reader = PdfReader ("input.pdf")
fields = reader.get_fields()    
print(fields)

Find attached the pdf-file i want to read:
input.pdf

Is it possible to get this information for the radio buttons and check boxes?

I think your input file displays the radio buttons as graphics. I was able to use get_fields() on https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/5E_CharacterSheet_Fillable.pdf and got several fields back.

in general:
get_fields report both the check box status in "/V" (/Off or the name of the active state) for the radio buttons the selected active state is reported too (in this case the radio buttons are in the kids field)

for you specific case, @vphan6896 is right

Edit
PR #1864 adds /States in fields to provide the list of possible values for Checkboxes, RadioButtons, and Lists
