Summary | 0017420: Checkbox renders incorrectly on some PDF viewers (e.g. MS Edge build in viewer) | ||||
Description | While viewing document with checkbox form element in some PDF viewers like MS Edge which is default viewer for Windows 10/11 users instead of "tick" mark a number is generated. This issue goes back to the version 1.5 (pdf's witch checkboxes exported in 1.4.8 works correctly). The number displayed in checkbox correspond with the character used in Check style settings, so Check is 4 Cross is 5 etc. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1. Create new document 2. Place PDF Check Box in document 3. In Field properties set Default is Checked 4. Export -> Save as PDF (save options not affect this issue) 5. View file in MS Edge (Version 133.0.3065.69 (Official build) (64-bit) | ||||
Additional Information | It looks like some PDF viewers by default override font for checkboxes and set them to Zap Dingbats, while other relay on information in PDF. PDF with checkboxes generated by other PDF editors renders correctly in current version of the MS Edge | ||||

Fixed, but honestly these days I would advise against using PDF forms, especially if the resulting PDF file is to be opened in a web browser. Each PDF browser now has its own PDF rendering engine, and PDF forms are clearly not their priority, so you'll have different behaviors when displaying such PDF file. You'll get less surprises if you use HTML forms. |
