Hi ramnymdpa,

You don't mention what process you're using to convert your Word form to PDF so I'm assuming that you're using the "Run Form Field Recognition" command in Acrobat 8. If so, this process does not always capture checkboxes. You'll need to add this back in with the Acrobat Forms tools. For more information on the "Run Form Field Recognition" feature check out Ted Padova's article on this at:

Hope this helps,
Lori
