Checkbox values visible in Preview in Mac but not on Adobe Acrobat Pro

[Tapas36940715vylx]

I would really appreciate it if someone can help me here.

I am trying to AJAX post this form data from a Python-Django based web application and generate a PDF file. This form has some checkboxes that can be answered and the values for these fields get picked up in the payload in the AJAX post.

Now, when I try to open that generated PDF file using Preview app on Mac, I am able to see the checkbox marked correctly; I can also see the checkbox marked correctly when I open the downloaded PDF in Google Chrome web browser as well.

However, when I try to open the same file using Adobe Acrobat Pro, I cannot see those check marks for those checkboxes. This is only happening for checkbox values and no other fields.

I have tried to check that the field name attribute on both the Adobe Acrobat Pro (using Prepare a Form section) and my .HTML file where I am defining that field in my web application and they both match up.

Can someone please tell me why this is happening? If this is a known issue, what is a good work around for the same?

Preview is a terrible application that corrupts PDF files, and especially form fields, just by opening them. Avoid using it at all costs if you want your file to work correctly.

Well, it is not just not working on Preview.

I see it working when I open the file in Google Chrome tab but it does not look the same on Adobe Acrobat Pro.

I have also attached an image with my question for further reference; please take a look at it and let me know if that clarifies anything.

Thanks again!
