Hi, three years later I would like to hint to this thread again and ask if there is hope that checkboxes will work better in Acrobat any time soon. Am Fri, Dec 11, 2020 at 06:28:36PM +0100 schrieb Hans Hagen:
Firefox doesn't show the "yes", nor Acrobat X, but SumatraPDF does. I modified your definition as:
\definefield[test][check][cbox][][]
And now the "yes" doesn't appear. However, I don't know how this affects the functionality of the form.

(part of the problem is, i think, that esp for check fields a bugs or behaviour has become a feature which makes it kin dof inconsisten twith the rest of the widgets .. it's even worse when one uses parent / child across pages ... it hasn;t helped that hardly any viewer supported it which in turn means no feedback)
(in lmtx iu could probably generate appearance streams but i'll only do that when i have an application for these widgets so that i can test it)
