I'm building a pdf form in Acrobat and want to have a checkbox checked based upon the selection of another checkbox. I'm kinda new to this so I don't have a lot of knowledge. Basically, if Checkbox 2 is checked, I want Checkbox 1 to be checked, vice versa. I'm assuming there will have to be a custom script, but I don't know how it would be written.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response. Initially, I thought about doing that, but if a user checks box 1, they will not always check box 2, but if they check box 2, box 1 has to be checked. Does that make sense?

Thanks!
