Hi,
I am creating a form in Acrobat 9 and allowed it to automatically create the form fields. In doing so the fields are all text fields. I need to change several to check box fields. Is there a way to do this other than deleting the field and inserting a new one?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi lilaria,

No, you won't be able to change one field type into another from Acrobat's user interface. The Form Field Recognition tool isn't perfect but it sure beats adding all the fields manually as you had to in previous versions.

Hope this helps,
