I'm setting the values of fields using PDF Sharp, and then saving the document. When I open the saved document in Adobe Acrobat, all of the fields are shown filled as they should be. Then I open the form in Chrome or Edge, and then only the text field values are present, and all of the RadioButtons are unset.

Here is a snippet of the code I'm using to set the field values.

Code:
        public void SetFieldValue(string fieldName, string value)
        {
            var acroField = pdfsAcroForm.Fields[fieldName];
            if (acroForm.fields.ContainsKey(fieldName))
            {
                string fieldType = acroForm.fields[fieldName].type;
                if (fieldType == "Text")
                {
                    acroForm.fields[fieldName].value = value;
                    acroField.Value = new PdfString(value);
                }
                else if (fieldType == "RadioButtons")
                {
                    acroForm.fields[fieldName].value = value;
                    acroField.Value = new PdfName("/" + value);
                }
                else if (fieldType == "CheckBoxField")
                {
                    acroForm.fields[fieldName].value = value;
                    PdfCheckBoxField checkbox = acroField as PdfCheckBoxField;
                    checkbox.CheckedName = value;
                    Debug.WriteLine("Setting a CheckBoxField to " + value);
                }
                else if (fieldType == "ComboBox")
                {
                    acroForm.fields[fieldName].value = value;
                    PdfComboBoxField combobox = acroField as PdfComboBoxField;
                    combobox.Value = new PdfString("( )");
                    combobox.Value = new PdfString(value);
                }
            }
        }


And here is the code I'm using when saving the form:
Code:
            // Required to edit Fillable fields in the PDF
            if (pdfsDocument.AcroForm.Elements.ContainsKey("/NeedAppearances") == false)
            {
                pdfsDocument.AcroForm.Elements.Add("/NeedAppearances", new PdfBoolean(true));
            }
            else
            {
                pdfsDocument.AcroForm.Elements["/NeedAppearances"] = new PdfBoolean(true);
            }

            pdfsDocument.Save(fpath);
            pdfsDocument.Close();


Any ideas? I'm pretty confused and I can't think of anything else to try.
