I saved google spreadsheet as PDF, but I can't get acrobat to detect checkboxes (Auto detect fields is turned on).

Is there something I can do?

If those check-boxes are text characters then a script can be used to detect them, like this (paid-for) tool I've created that detects certain Wingdings characters and adds check-boxes or radio-button fields over them:
