Reply To: Change checkbox text color

Heimo: Yes, what you are describing is the “Normal On” selection in the Buttons and Forms panel. You select the checkbox button, then you can change the look of it for the “Off” state and the “On” state (or even the rollover and click states if you want). When you export to Interactive PDF, it should work.
However, the problem is that sometimes it doesn’t work… especially depending on the PDF reader. These often don’t work on mobile devices, for example. And even if it does work, sometimes the “look” gets covered up by Acrobat’s big blue box, so you cannot see that it is working!
