Question

Removing check marks added in fill & sign

I added large check marks by dragging and dropping a check mark to the left of any fields where I was unsure of the right information. I then created a document. I am now trying to remove the check marks from the completed document. From what I can tell, they are outside of the text boxes. Is it possible to remove them?

 

Thank you!

Hi Jillian,

 

Hope you are doing well. 

 

 I am now trying to remove the check marks from the completed document. From what I can tell, they are outside of the text boxes. Is it possible to remove them?

 

 

As mentioned above, you are willing to remove the check marks from the completed document. Is this a PDF form that you have already filled and signed?

If you own the PDF form and have edit rights, then changes would be possible. But, if the form has been filled and signed, making changes in the same document would not be possible as signing locks the record and restricts the changes. 

 

If this doesn't answer your initial question, please share the screenshot of the pdf form or a copy of the form you are referring to.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

    @AkanchhaS8194121 I you do have edit rights how would you go about removing the crossmarks/check marks. They don't seem to be text objects.

    Hi there

     

    Thank you for reaching out! I hope this message finds you well.

    If you’re working in Acrobat's form editing mode, here are a few steps to modify or remove a checkbox:

    1. To Uncheck a Box:

      • Select the checkbox form field and toggle the property from “checked” to “not checked” in the field’s settings.

    2. To Remove the Checkbox Field:

      • Click on the checkbox form field and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

    3. For Scanned PDFs:

      • If the checkbox is part of a scanned image (rather than an interactive form field) and the PDF is editable, you can use Acrobat's Edit Text and Images tool.
      • Copy and paste a blank space or another design element over the checked box to replace it.

    Please let me know if this resolves your issue or if you need further assistance.
