Hi shrishail_ashtage,

I have found some similar threads about how to create checkboxes in pdf using iTextSharp, you could take a look. You’d better take a look at the articles that the two threads refer to, they could provide you more things for achieving your need.

Hi Weibo Zhang

               Thanks for your reply.

I read your given link. but for 1 or 2 checbox , it is fine . but when we create more than 50 checkbox on pdf it is very diffucult for me to set the checbox position on table cell . Every time i need to calculate the position.

               Is there any other way to set position.

When i run the application in browser , the checkbox is displayed . but when i open that file in pdf some checkbox is not displayed.

Is there any reason for that.

I have found a similar thread you could take a look. In this thread, DaveB provided us a solution about putting a TextBox in a table cell you could refer to and then make some changes to add the checkbox in your project.
