How do I create a check-box matrix question using Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to insert a question that is a 10 x 10 matrix that allows respondents to select multiple boxes in each row.  For example, the "add item > rating scale" feature formats a matrix the way I would like, although it only seems to allow for radio buttons.  With this feature, respondents can only select one item per row.  Is there any way to use this feature with check-boxes rather than radio buttons?  Or a different feature to create a matrix that allows for multiple selections per row? 
Thanks so much,
Andy 

I created a 30 page Form in Microsoft Word with 20 to 30 check boxes on each page using the Zapf Dingbats Font.
When I used Acrobat XI Pro to automatically convert the form it fails to create usable check boxes.
It worked properly about 3 times on test pages but it will not do it again.
Manually inserting check boxes one by one on 30 pages is mind numbing to say the least.
Why doesn't the software work properly anymore?

  • How do I create a check box?

    Hey there,
    I want to create a check box beside a text, like "keep me logged in". Anyone who can explain me how to do that?

    A checkbox is a form element. Fireworks doesn't do forms. You'll need to do that in Dreamweaver.

  • How do I auto populate a text box if a check box is ticked in Acrobat XI Pro?

    Basically, i have been asked to create a catalogue of sorts for my organisation with a form at the end that will be completed by the end user. it will be a catalogue of books and toys that people can request to borrow from us. Its all specialist equipment that we loan out for disabled people. When they are scrolling through the catalogue i would like there to be a check box and if they would like to borrow that item they would tick that box and any other products that they would like to borrow. Is it possible to have a text box that auto populates with a list of the items they have selected. the form would be similar to the one below. it the box next to Products to borrow i would like it to add products as they tick the boxes in the preceeding pages. I would be happy to share an example document if needed. thanks in advance for any help.
    Name
    Address
    Products to borrow

    Thank you for your willingness to help.
    The problem with a drop down is that it would not present all options when printed, and some of our users will be completing this form manually (printed). All options need to be displayed.
    Here's an example:
    SELECT PREFIX:
    A12
    B12
    C12
    They can check one of the above and then based on what they select, I want the next box (a text field) to pre-fill with their selection.
    So if they select A12, the text box would automatically fill with A12.

  • How do I fix the Database Organizer Error when using Acrobat 9 Pro on desktop PC with Windows 8.1 and 64-bit OS?

    After loading Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop PC (Windows 8.1; 64-bit OS), opening and closing a previously saved pdf file, I constantly get a message pop-up that indicates a "database organizer" error.
    How do I fix this?
    I have read multiple responses at various forums and they do not seem to apply, or have not worked for others, with regard to the details of my version of Acrobat and Windows OS.
    I'm beginning to think that the only solution is to purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro and install it on my PC, which, of course, I would prefer not to do, unless this is my only viable option.
    Can this problem, specific to my version of Acrobat and Windows OS, be fixed or is the simple answer:  purchase the latest version of Acrobat Pro, because there is no fix for my version of Acrobat/Windows OS?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I embed metadata in a pdf file using Acrobat XI Pro?

    Hi, everyone!
    I need some info how I can put things like key words, description of the file and the like permanently in the file to let it 'travel' in the file everywhere, no matter what the OS is. I guess I should use Properties 'path' but it resembles Windows system properties, so I'm not sure. Moreover, there's so little about it in manuals....
    Once I've done with it, can it be read just by Adobe Reader?
    And one important thing more: is there any inner search engine inside Acrobat XI to search the files by key words and other similar metadata criteria or I'm solely dependant on the OS search function?

    Thanks for the link - it sounds highly specialised, but simple experiments of opening a Properties Windows and putting some description notes and author or key word is readable by Acrobat reader or the system search engine so maybe it's not really complicated - mind you, I don't mean right-clicking on the file where options are poor and probably thode of the OS but Preferences edition after opening the document in Acrobat XI Pro - I hope this one is of Adobe and maybe I won't need Bridge to read it I know in the suggested thread it's a problem of graphics metadata within the pdf file....

  • How do I create a form field ONLY template in Acrobat 9 Pro that will let the user enter and print only the form field data on a pre-printed form?

    This template will be used to type in information that will then be printed on an agency's official, barcoded form loaded in a printer (instead of blank paper.)  Only the user-entered info should print on the pre-printed form.  Users will use Adobe Reader to complete their templates; they do not have Acrobat.  Thank you!

    Use the template as non-printable background and add the form fields.

  • How to: Resize a rows height in a table using acrobat 9 pro?

    I'm working on a government grant, with many tables that need to be resized in order to fit the required information. Can anyone help me?

    PDF isn't a word processor like file format -- so, a "rebuild edit" to a table is a "You Don't".
    As to form fields, Acrobat provides one with the ability to edit Acrobat form fields (if the form / file is not protected).
    But, changing a grant form is likely to result in its being rejected by the originating organization.
    Basically, you want to speak with the organization that you will submit the form to.
    It may well be that you are trying to put 2 tons in the 1 ton pickup (less might be ok & actually expected).
    Or, it may be that, unknown to the organization, the PDF form is hosed.
    If so, communicating with the organization may well be a good thing.
    Be well...

  • How to get the "delete" check box back?

    Hi Guys,
    I just used the "Migrate to Interactive Report" feature. After doing so, the check box is gone that is used to indicate rows to delete. A copy of the region is marked as "disabled" and the check box is still there, but it's not in the newly created region. Without that check box, my page has no way to delete rows. How do I add the check box to the new Interactive Report region? I'd rather not re-create the page from scratch.
    Thanks,
    Kim
    P.S. I'm using Apex 4.1 and Oracle 11g xe - all running on Windows 7.

    How about something like this? Instead of a check box add a new column with a delete image, you can use something like delete.gif (#IMAGE_PREFIX#delete.gif). The downside is that will be deleting one at a time, but in my experience this may not be an issue.
    Add a hidden item to hold the ID of the row your want to delete. We'll call it P1_ID.
    The new column with the delete image will need to "branch" to a URL and use this code (ALL in one single line)
    apex.confirm("Are you sure you want to delete?", {
      request:"DELETE_ROW",
      set:{"P1_ID":#ID#}
      });Then add a page process that fires when the request is DELETE_ROW
    Would probably look something like this:
    delete from some_table where id = :P1_ID;
    A similar technique can be used for checkboxes, but it's a little more advanced as you need to loop through the selections.
    Oh and add the column to the IR you don't really need to select anything. Or better yet, you could re-use the ID column of the report if you have one as your delete column. The #ID# on the code above needs to be the name of your column. So if your column is EMPNO the above would be #EMPNO# instead of #ID#.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to add a single check box and a label to a image in Muse?

    Hello!
    I need help with adding a check box with a label to the right of it. I know about the forms, and how you can add a check box there but i don't need all the other form options.

    Hi
    It is not possible to use only checkbox from a form at the moment. An alternate way could be inserting it using html, something like below
    <input type="checkbox" name="Muse" value="Muse"> A sample checkbox<br>
    I am not sure what exactly you are trying to achieve, but this will work  with Form tag only, like in the example here
    Tryit Editor v2.5
    Do let me know if you have any question.
