Use Check Box if you want recipients to select one or more options at the same time. In some cases, if you want to select a check box and make a group of check boxes all checked, you can give the group the same field name to have all of them perform the specified action.

To add and edit a check box field

  1. Open the PDF file where you want form fields to appear.

  2. Choose Form > Form > Check Box .

  3. On the page, drag a rectangle to specify the size and location of the form.

  4. To call out the Check Box Properties dialog box, do any of the following:

    • The dialog box appears automatically right after the field is created.

    • On the Sidebar navigation pane or choose Basic > Basic Tools, click Select and then use it to double-click the field.

  1. In General, name the field and set its box attributes as needed.

  2. In Options, edit the following settings:

    • In the Check Box Style section, select a desired field style for the check box appearance.

    • Click Export Value and specify a value that represents the item if the form data will be exported. The defined export value appears in the resulting data file if the check box field is selected. If deselected, it shows Off indicating the item is not selected.

    • Check Check box is checked by default to have the check box selected unless the user deselects it.

Note: The appearance of the check mark inside the check box is determined by the font size and the color you specify in General > Attributes > Text of the Check Box Properties dialog box.
