Question

Check boxes on forms no long working on mobile devices

I have created many forms in inDesign with check boxes and they worked fine in Acrobat on both desktops and mobile devices. All of a sudden, a recent update for Acrobat on iOS (not sure about android) has caused the check boxes to not work. They still show up as interactive boxes, but when clicked, there is no check mark. They also still work on a desktop and they work on an iphone when opened in files. However, most people will open it in acrobat, so I need this fixed.

 

I'd rather not have to redesign all these forms... is there a workaround on this? Is this a bug in the update? Thanks!

Exactly the same for me. Which is a big problem as we use a large number of fillable forms with check boxes on iPad.

 

If it helps anyone, the problem occured when updating to app version 21.02.00. iOS is 14.4.1.
