Creating check box fields

In almost all cases you should use unique field names when creating form fields. If you use the same name for a field, like a text field, data typed in the field box is replicated for all fields with the same name. The exception to the rule is when creating check box and radio button fields. If you want one check box or radio button in a group to be unchekced as another check box or radio button is checked, you use the same field name. Both these field types have an option for adding an export value. When you create fields with the same name, you use different export values to distinguish one choice from another.

To create a check box field:

1. Select the Check Box tool from the Nitro PDF Professional toolbar.
2. Drag open a rectangle where you want the check box to appear.
3. Name the field and assign appearance settings.
4. Select Options. Choose a style for the check box appearance from the Check Box Style drop down menu. Click in Export Value field and add a value. If you have two fields that you want to use as Yes or No responses, use the same name for the two fields and add an export value of Yes in one field and No in the other field.
