Check boxes with stylish x.

[Tei28204474v2l3]

I am making a form with toggled check boxes. I see this stylish x on a lot of other forms but I am not about to find the font myself or replicate the same still with a check box.  Please help.

To do that you would need to change the font used by the check-box, which is not possible in Acrobat. I believe InDesign can do it, though.

I believe Acrobat & Reader will only use one of the available check box styles for a true check box. One work-around to simulate a custom checkbox would be to create two superimposed buttons in InDesign with an empty box over a custom X, (or any other object) and use the button properties in Acrobat to show/hide the buttons using triggered actions. See attached button sample.

You don't need two buttons for this. One will do. A script can be used to switch its icon (or text) from an "X" to nothing, and vice versa. The problem is it's not a real change to a field's value, so it can't be exported, nor will it trigger the Calculation events of other fields, if that's something that is needed in your form.

I believe i am still lost. Will Ihave to implement a script to achieve this goal

Yes. What font do you want to use for this?

I am unsure of the font. I attempted to search the internet for it but i keep getting wingdings. But is is not the same font or style as the X above.

After hours of research and trying to figure out this style of X 

Adobe PI - character or number 6 will display this style of X

Here you go. You'll notice it's actually a button, not a check-box, as I mentioned above.

You can create some nice checkboxes and radiobuttons as in the attached sample PDF using InDesign, but beware that changing their name, their size or any option in Acrobat revert them to their basic Acrobat's appearance.
