Fillable form check boxes won't check

Hi there,
I've just created a fillable form with check boxes. They worked fine to start with but when you close the document and reopen it, you can click the boxes but they just flash and don't fill in. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Many thanks

Brio,
Are you using Adobe Acrobat to add form fields to a PDF? Or are you using some other tool to create the fillable form?

  • The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I check the check box

    The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I have checked the check box.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after I install the Persona themes

    I was having the same problem and was looking for solutions when I came across this posting. Disabling GoodSearch solved the problem for me. Hopefully GoodSearch will update soon and resolve the issue permanently so I can use it again.

  • Tracing Options Preview box won't check in Ai CS3

    This should be a simple one for all you experts. I'm new to Illustrator. I opened a downloaded world map as a JPEG and saved it as both JPEG and TIFF. I'm playing around with Illustrator CS3 and wanted to convert the map from raster to vector format using Live Trace. I clicked on Object>Live Trace>Options and to play around with the settings, previewing them to see what looked good. For some reason the preview box won't open to check. I've clicked on nearly everything in the tracing options box hoping to activate the preview, but nothing works.
    What am I missing? It's not the machine, I'm sure it's my ignorance, but in case you're wondering, I'm using a 20" iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 500 GB HD, Mac OS 10.5.6, Ai CS3 v 13.0.2. I didn't open the map with Ps, but with Preview and saved it to TIFF from there. Preview doesn't work with with either the TIFF or JPEG docs. The downloaded file is US Web coated (SWOP) v2 JPEG and I have that and CMYK color settings in Ai for this document.

    Hello Dave,
    I tried to duplicate the problem without success. Try to save the image as Photoshop file, place the image and try again.
    I hope this works

  • Html check box won't reset...Captivate 4

    I seem to have a problem getting the html check box to
    function after publishing.
    When I attempt to publish a title again under a different
    name the html check box is grayed out. It seems the html function
    is only available the first time you publish. Can this be right? I
    know I can go into the html file and edit the parts I want changed,
    but that seems kind of a goofy way to go about things....
    I searched the forums, but couldn't find anything relating to
    this.
    Also, is there an Adobe site (or post) that contains a list
    of know issues (bugs) with Captivate 4?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    If you have eLearning enabled, with SCORM selected, this box will gray out.  If the box is not checked, Capivate will generate an empty html file.  To correct this, uncheck eLearning.  Goto to HTML box and be sure it is checked.  Then recheck your eLearning, and re-enter your correct settings.  Now Captivate will correctly create the html file.

    Hi Olivia,
    What happens when you try to open Acrobat?
    I checked your account; it looks like there may have been a hangup with the order processing. Please Contact Customer Care so that an agent can help you get that straightened out. I suspect that may be why you're unable to open Acrobat.
    Best,

  • Check boxes - default as checked?

    Is there a way to make check boxes default as being checked on a form, with users having to uncheck the box if they do not want the option?

    Go the object Value properties and set the Default to 'On'.

  • Some check boxes can be checked, some cannot

    I have Adobe Reader 11, which I'm using to fill out a grant application. Some of the check boxes are able to be checked but some are not. How do I make a check box "checkable"? Thanks!

    There are a number of possibilities, from there not being any actual check box fields, to them being controlled by JavaScript. Can you post a link to the form so we can say for sure?

  • Calculate only checked boxes that are checked. Other "lines" of boxes do not have a value. HELPPPPPP

    I have say 6 possible lines. Each line will allow the user to enter employee goals. Then to the right of that, there are radio buttons that the user will check, marking the percentage that particular goal is complete. However, not every employee will have 6 goals, they may only have 3 and some may have all 6 or say, 2. What I want to do is only calculate those lines which have a goal and a percentage marked. So in the end, I want to total the checked boxes which will each have a value and then divide that by the number of goals for that particular employee.
    PLEASE, explain this to me so I can understand it. Like I said, I am extremely new to creating forms and LiveCycle. I really hope I can get the answer to this.
    Thank you in advance.

    And NOW, when I am attempting to put in my script for the radio buttons that have values, the area where it should total is NOT correct. This is my script:
    $=Page1.RadioButtonList.unlead1+xfa.resolveNode("Page1.RadioButtonList.#field[1]")+xfa.resolveNode("Page1.RadioButtonList.#field[2]")+xfa.resolveNode("Page1.RadioButtonList.#field[3]")+
    xfa.resolveNode("Page1.RadioButtonList.#field[4]")
    The area that has the total, only has the number 5 in it when I click on the first checked box. (radio button) however, the value is set at one. PLEASE help, I am about to rip my hair out.

  • ICloud and iTunes, cannot get the check boxes to stay checked under  preferences for iTunes to keep automatic downloads for iCloud, how can I fix this?

    When using my iPhone and Macbook with iTunes, I cannot get the checkboxes to stay checked in iTunes to use the automatic downloads for iCloud.  It is so frustrating. I check box them and hit ok under store preferences for iTunes, and when I go back in, they are unchecked. I am so excited to use iCloud with my iPhone downloads and it is not working, if I can't get it to work with this, I am never going to get it to work for documents.  Please help.

    Hey man. Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I spent an hour on the phone with AppleCare yesterday, and am going to have to call them back when I get home from work today. It's driving me bonkers!!

  • How do I ensure that when a user clicks a box on the check box widget, the check box remains?

    Hi, I am using Captivate version 7. I am using a Checkbox widget on a slide. When the user checks the check box and then closes out of the course, how do I ensure that when the user goes back into the course, the check box remains? We're posting on an LMS. Thanks!

    Every widget, variable is reset when a course is restarted. Moreover you cannot control what is checked in the Checkbox widget by another action than the user click, even though you can change the value of the associated variable. I think you'll have to look for another solution.

  • Sending an Asset Check Box to Account Check box

    I am trying to send a boolean checkbox value from the asset table to a checkbox in the account table. I have tried using joinfieldvalue and workflows and have come up with nothing. Anyone have any ideas or advice?
    thanks in advance.

    Hello Peter,
    Select the field from Dict./Program Fields and drop it in the table control. You will get a pop-up asking if the field is to be converted into a checkbox or radiobutton. Or select the checkbox icon from the toolbar on the left and drop it in the table control.
    You can read the value by checking the corresponding field in the Internal table used to populate the table control. If the check box is selected, the field will have a value 'X' or else it will not have a value.

  • Enable Plug-ins check box never stays checked.

    Often, when I open and use Safari, the Enable Plug-ins check box is unchecked (Preferences>Security>Web Content>Enable Plug-ins). I am so used to this happening that I normally go into preferences and check this box before surfing. Is there any way to keep this check box permanently checked?
    Thanks,
    Lou

    It's not an age thing.
    You and I remember "older" methods, is all.
    The Property List Editor (Developer tools) can inspect and edit a .plist file. The .plist (Property List get it?) method replaces older .prefs file format found in OS 9.
    Since every app has a "start list" of preferences (default settings) each user can do different things with different apps. They hold everything from the size of a window, the fonts used, the playback settings, etc. and sometimes go "wonky".
    Since a new set (.plist file) will be made when you delete an older version it's creation sets things back to "default".

  • Adding a hyperlink to a fillable form text box

    I am creating a form in Adobe Acrobat X Standard.  The form is for concept proposals submitted by staff.  I would like a text field where users of the form can enter a hyperlink (URL, or if possible, also a location on our network drive) so that the people assessing the form can follow these links for further information. 
    I've had an extensive read of Google, these forums and experimented, but I haven't discovered a way to do this and am losing all hope!  Does anyone know if this is possible? 
    Thank you

    There is, but only if you configure the field to allow for rich text formatting. The user would have to select the text, display the Properties toolbar, select the link tab, and enter the URL. I doubt this will work for a link to a network drive.
