Hi,

I'm trying to create an editable PDF from an existing PDF using Acrobat Pro 9. It automatically detected the Textbox fields. However, my PDF has got images similar to checkbox. The Acrobat Pro is not detecting those controls as checkboxes. There are around 200 checkboxes in my PDf which is tedious to replace them with checkbox controls manually.

Is there a way that Acrobat Pro identifies those images as checkboxes and creates the controls automatically

Please help!!!

No, there isn't.

Try Omniform from Scansoft/Nuance .. for some people it works better at detecting checkbox like structures on the image than Acrobat Pro 9.

If you use the Premium version of OmniForm you can convert to PDF, then do your final editing in Acrobat. Much easier than trying to build it using the Acrobat Pro 9 Form Wizard to create forms from paper or electronic documents.
