Hello,
I recently received complaints from some of our users about the readability of checkboxes and radio buttons on saved copies of Forms, especially when they need to print physical copies.
We're currently running 10.4.5, and based on how older documents look I think the issue actually started when the PDF generation was changed.
From what I can tell, the problem is that in copies saved to a repository or emailed to someone, the radio and checkbox fields are rendered as disabled, which causes them to be much lighter and less visible.
As a workaround, I added JavaScript to remove the disabled attribute depending on the needs of the form (see attached before/after examples).
In general, the forms look much cleaner with the new rendering, but this particular change seems unintended. I'm not sure if this has already been addressed in Forms 11, but if not, hopefully it can be updated so the checkboxes/radio buttons are more visible like before.
UPDATE: Even with the disabled attribute removed to make the checkboxes look less transparent, the way they render is still far less readable/printable. I'm not sure how much that can be controlled, but the new rendering of these items does not work very well with black and white printing.
