You should use the addField method of the Document object if you want to add a check-box field.

Hi,

I wanted to add the check box at the position where the mouse is in. I wanted to execute the 'check box' tool through program. if i have executed that check box tool then i can able to draw the check box.

If you are suggesting any other method of drawing checkbox, that is also ok for me.

Thank you

That's possible, but it means you will have to execute the command using only the keyboard, which is a bit tricky (but not impossible)...

You can use the mouseX and mouseY properties of the Document object to get the current location of the mouse, in default user space in relation to the current page.
