    I've moved your post from Using the Community to the Acrobat forum.

     

    The boxes you have are actually radio buttons, where selecting one deselects the other. The way to fix this in Acrobat is to delete the radio buttons and create checkboxes.

     

    If you want to confirm, open Properties for one of the boxes and note that the title bar says it's a radio button.

    Or they could be check-boxes but with the same name (and different export values), which would also make them into a mutually-exclusive group.
