hello there, I bet there is a simple solution to this but I just can't figure it out and have not found it in the forum
all checkboxes in my pdf form check unbidden when clicking on one
- I copy pasted a row of checkboxes to make aligning easier, checkboxes have an individual number each, so same field names are not the issue.
(I need multiple checkboxes with the possibility to check all the ones applying.
No frills, don't need to hide anything, no 'uncheck x if y is checked'...
Read something about export value in the forum but cannot find any such thing in the properties, please advise!
The only way that would happen is if they all have the same name. A #0 , #1, etc at the end of the name in the field listing does not mean the fields have different names. In fact it means they do have the same name, and are all the same field. You need to change the field names manually.

Hi, I am trying to fill in a form and what is happening is there is 8 check boxes, individual, corp, partner...etc... When I click on the first box all the boxes x off? Since this is a tax form that we cannot write on, it must be filled in online I don't know how to correct it? It happens in every section of the form. Also when I am trying to put in the state field "FL" it comes up blank?
Thanks

Stop your checkboxes from checking all when one is checked: In Prepare Form > Rename each of the check boxes a different name. (#0, #1, #2 are considered the same name!!). Change the name of each check box. Save. Problem solved.

Perfect! This def worked for me. It was a pre-created form, so it was frustrating to try and figure out, but the "Prepare Form" tab and rename each checkbox worked!!
