You will need a PDF editor. Or if you are good at image editing, you can save the PDF as an image and then put the boxes on the image. Once they are in place, you can save the image as a PDF again.

Hmmm,  Where do I learn how to edit the pdf so it has check boxes already in it.  Do you know of a video or some directions.   I did not know this was an option.

Try loading the PDF in an image control. As to adding checkboxes, you might be able to place those controls on top of the image, but why not just edit the PDF so it has the checkboxes already on it?

I have Access 365 on a Window 11 machine.

 

I am wondering if there is any way to load a PDF onto a Report and then add check boxes over the PDF to filling a variety of check boxes.

 

The form is pretty complex so I do not want to recreate it using lines and boxes.
