convert text field to checkbox

[MikeyGilbert]

Is there any way to convert a text field to a checkbox? Trying to convert a paper-based document (which is a PDF) to a fillable form, and it's imported most of the fields fine, but a bunch of them are text fields and I need checkboxes.

I am being lazy... could just delete and redo...

There's no built-in command in Acrobat that does that. The only solution is indeed to delete and then re-create the fields, but that can be done using a script, like this one I've created: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Convert Form Fields Type

Ah, thought so. Never mind; can't afford the script, but it would be useful

Off to do the manual thang.
