Remove checkbox outline after e-signing

Hi @Chelsea225644398cpj,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

Yes, you can automatically remove (hide) unchecked checkboxes after an e-signature is applied using Acrobat JavaScript. Here’s how:

• Open your PDF in Acrobat Pro.

• Go to the Prepare Form tool.

• Assign a JavaScript trigger to the signature field:

  • Right-click the signature field → Properties → Actions tab.

  • Choose Trigger: Signed (if available) or Mouse Up.

  • Choose Action: Run a JavaScript and click Add.

  • Paste the following

    • var checkboxes = ["checkbox1", "checkbox2", "checkbox3"]; // Update with your checkbox field names

      for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
          var cb = this.getField(checkboxes[i]);
          if (cb.value !== "Yes") { // "Yes" is the default checked value in Acrobat
              cb.display = display.hidden;
          }
      }

• Click OK and Save your form.

Note: Ensure checkboxes have unique names and match those in the script.

Hope this helps.
