Remove Auto-text boxes (form fields) without disabling the 'checkmark/tick' feature

[Christine2911]

Hi team!

I have created the following checklist for my team. We want to use this form digitally via PDF editor using the 'Checkmark' feature (examples in red below).

When we try to check the coloumns, the automatic field forms activate, not allowing us to check the columns on the right. 

When I edit the forms and DELETE them (in the Prepared Forms tab) this DEACTIVATES the ability to 'check' these boxes (Rediculous) 

If anyone has a work around or some tips and tricks please do advise. Thank you in advance! 🙂

From looking at the screenshot is difficult to tell what you're describing in your own words.

It looks to me that those checkmarks are static text rather than an actual checkbox object.

Objects and widgets are added or removed using the "Prepare Form" tool, while static content is edited, renoved or added using the "Edit Text & Images" tool, and comments or annotations are edited, added or removed using the "Comment" tool.

Are you able to identify for us what exactly are the red checkmarks in that document? Or even better, can you share an example of this PDF?

I forgot to ask, when you mention about PDF editor, what software are you using?  Do you have a paid subscription of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?

Does you use Fill & Sign?
