How can I adjust the width of a checkbox?

[Mel_A13]

I imported a pdf form I created into livecycle to add checkboxes. Livecycle automatically placed the checkmark boxes where I wanted them, however, once I PDF the form, the checkmark boxes appear as little "blue boxes" and are aligned on the right side of the cell. How can I get the "blue box" to expand so it sits in the entire cell? As of right now, you have to click exactly on the "blue box" to get a checkmark. I want to be able to click anywhere within the cell to get the checkmark. Is this possible?

Hi there,

As far as I know it's not possible to expand the checkbox in a retangular format as you want to do. What you can adjust is the Size of it (see the image attached), but it doesn't solve your problem.

When importing the PDF into previous versions of LiveCycle I never had this problem. LC would automatically place the checkboxes where I wanted them and the boxes would form to the width of the cell.

Your cells are far away from a usual checkbox format. You might want to try using Acrobat instead.

Also check the layout properties to be sure there is not a caption part that is taking up space and forcing the checkbox to the left. In situations like this, i usually use a check box without a caption and position it in the center of the column.
