Re: Any way to insert a checkbox that will automatically be active in the PDF?

["Rick Quatro" <frameexpert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Timesavers basically uses the same mechanism (pdfmark code), but it makes it
more practical and convenient by allowing you to use FrameMaker Hypertext
markers with special syntax. Timesavers includes Distiller prologue and
epilogue files that "intercept" the marker text and replace it with pdfmark
code. The end result is that Acrobat fields are created on the fly as the
document is converted to PDF. I have used Timesavers for years and highly
recommend it.
