Adobe Acrobat Pro DC Check Box How To!

Question

I understand how to use this feature, but what I'm trying to do is to is to have the program automatically detect the check boxes when I make a PDF a fillable form. How do you do that?

If your doing each check box manually, how would you get it to apply for all check boxes you want to insert manually to be the same exact size without having to resize each one individually and make it permanently?

If your doing each check box manually, how do get it to size itself to each check box automatically without having to resize it by detecting this from the program itself?

First of all, I moved your question to the PDF Forms forum.

You can use the Fields Detection Wizard to automatically detect fields, but the results will never be 100% correct and will always require manual adjustments.

To create fields of the same size you can either create the first one and then copy & paste it (you will later on need to rename it, though), or use the Create Multiple Copies command (that will automatically rename the field for you), or select the fields and then right-click one of them (the one with the desired size) and use the Set Fields to Same Size option, or use a script.
