Creating a form from MIcword

[Cameron32726281tzs5]

I am trying to create a form from MIcrosoft 365 Word. The document is quite large with a large amount of Yes/No checkboxes. The form is set out in a table. 

I cant seem to find a way edit word so checkboxes apear in Adobe.

I have tried Wingdings, Symbols, Tagging and Design Mode without any positive results. They are either not identified at all OR randomly identified even though they are identical.

Hi @Cameron32726281tzs5 ,

Is this happening with this large file only or with any type of document you're trying to export to PDF from Microsoft Office?

Even though it is possible for Acrobat to recognize PDF objects from a Ms Word document, it seems like this doesn't always renders properly.

In which case, after reading several old discussions the best discussion that I found helpful is linked below:

• https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/word2010-form-to-pdf-check-boxes-aren-t-recognize...

If you've already came accross that topic then disregard.

But considering the fact that you are working with a very large form, I would consider using @try67  tool.

The convertion form Word to pdf is quite stabe usually. Do you use Save as Adobe PDF or the export to pdf/xps option?

Then, Acrobat 'reads' your document to detect form items, best it can. We do not have control on that so there is an element of 'luck' there.

It helps if the character you use is consistent, aligned to the questions and vertically aligned. Sometimes tables to group your questions are better detected that square characters. and placing the squares in columns helps agning them for better detection.
