Converting text boxes to check boxes in editable pdf

[justinakozicki]

Hej guys, 

Need a bit of help. 

I have made a health questionnaire and uploaded into Editable PDF forms to create and editable version to send to clients. 

Most of the questions are "tick 1-10" and check boxes underneath each number. 

When i uploaded it, Adobe outomatically converted the cells into "text" boxes instead of "check" boxes...

Is there any way i can change all these over to check boxes instead rther then doing manually as theres like hundreds of boxes...

Also when i do manually they dont all come out uniformly organised. 

Thanks so much

Justina

You can't convert them directly, unfortunately, but you can use a script to create check-boxes where those text fields are located, and then delete the latter.

I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to do it very quickly. You can find it here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2010/10/acrobat-convert-form-fields-type.html
