A new FillableCheckbox element and child elements FieldName, Checked, and ToolTip may be authored in the Requirements Editor Tool which generates a fillable checkbox on the PDF. The Checked element may include a DTA with PTR logic to select/deselect the fillable checkbox based on the rules authored.
The appearance of the Fillable Checkbox uses the standard Acrobat checkbox element using Zapf Dingbat character known as the Heavy Multiplication X. The non-fillable checkboxes images used when producing an Accessible Tagged PDF have been replaced to match the standard Acrobat fillable checkbox appearance (PBI 347354).
Support was added for FIllableCheckbox as fw:FillableCheckbox. When a FillableCheckbox element is encountered in content, a structure is produced that marks the current location and reserves a .1 inch by .1in space plus a following space and properties of the checkbox are added to the marker structure. During processing, the marking structure is placed by the formatting engine. Subsequently, the position and checkbox properties are retrieved, and the marking structure is removed. After the PDF is generated, a post-processing operation adds the AcroForm checkbox object at the position indicated by the marking structure.
This feature requires updates to the Expere Engine, Requirements Editor, and Style Sheet.
