Check Boxes Not Recognized

[Nina30048667x29l]

Hi! I have created a form from word to PDF. Part of this form is to check the box Yes, No or N/A. After preparing the form, the check boxes are not recognized and I am only able to type inside of them. The only solution I have come up with is to remove all of the check boxes and insert new ones - thats over 100 boxes - hoping there is an easier way to do this?

Yes, but it requires using a script to identify the characters and then create the fields on top of them.

For example, I created this (paid-for) tool that will pick up certain Wingdings characters and generate radio-button or check-box fields on top of them, with 100% accuracy. You can find it here:

You can create more than 100 checkboxes in less than a minute, see this great tip:
