Convert Legacy checkboxes to PDF
Using Word 2007, I have created multiple forms for use by a Boy Scout Troop.
I convert the document into a PDF using Adobe Professional 9. After running Advanced Form Field recognition, the legacy checkboxes appear as black boxes.m When I attempt to change the properties to a checbox in the options tab, check or checkbox is not available. I have antother dociment that does contain checkboxes that do work but I cannot copy and paste the content and preserve the checkbox. Is there anyway the checkboxes can be recognized or am I forced to create the checkbox manually for each form. Any help will be greatly appriciated. -- jacsdad |

Convert Legacy checkboxes to PDF
The ability to recognize check boxes is a function of Acrobat and has
nothing to do with Word. The form recognition report specifically mentions issues with Check boxes and links to an editing tool (at least it does in Acrobat 8). If you need to query the finer workings of that action, you should do so in an Acrobat forum. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jacsdad wrote: Using Word 2007, I have created multiple forms for use by a Boy Scout Troop.

Convert Legacy checkboxes to PDF
Graham... thanks for youer response. I thought that was the case, so I
contacted Adobe first, who sent me back to Microsoft. Typical run-around from Acrobat. Again... thanks. -- jacsdad "Graham Mayor" wrote: The ability to recognize check boxes is a function of Acrobat and has nothing to do with Word.
