Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 - Prepare form (form field auto detection not working properly)

[default97j1anoo3r85]

Hello, 

i have a large document i'd like to make into a form, there are alot of boxes so i don't wish to manually create each text field, however it's not detecting every box, (please see image below)

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

This function is not perfect!

Unfortunately, not much. The only way to ensure perfect identification of fields is by using a script, and it has to have something it can identify to do so, such as specific characters. For example, I've developed (paid-for) tools that will convert certain Wingdings characters to check-boxes or radio-buttons, and underscores to text fields, but if you use the built-in fields detection wizard the result will never be perfect.

You can find the tools I've created here:
