Checkboxes not showing on exported PDF from indesign

[Dabatross]

I took a small frame, converted it to an interactive checkbox, exported it as a PDF and then when I went to check it no checkboxes show up. Any ideas on why this would happen?

Did you use the Buttons & Forms panel to convert the frame to a Check Box form field type? Did you export as Adobe PDF (Interactive) and NOT Adobe PDF (Print)? Are you viewing the result in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat and not some other PDF reader (not all are equal!)?

Thank you thats what it was, I forgot to include the interactive items

What does the result look like. Can you attach a screen capture in the forum editor window please.
