General ⇒ Questionnaire checkboxes

[pwseo]

Hi there,

I was wondering how can I create little checkboxes in LaTeX.
I'll be planning a survey in the future and I'd like to typeset the questionnaires in LaTeX... but for that I need little fillable checkboxes.
I've tried searching Google and some other places.. but came out empty-handed anyway :)

Can anyone help me?

If you want to create an interactive PDF form where the box can be checked or unchecked in the PDF, try the Forms environment from hyperref package, with the \CheckBox command.

If this is something you're going to print and have people fill out in paper, you could draw the boxes any number of ways. I guess \Square from wasysym would work fine (and its pre-filled cousins, like \CheckedBox):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref,wasysym}
\begin{document}
\begin{Form}
\CheckBox{Check here if you like this form: }

Check here if you don't: {\huge \Square \CheckedBox \XBox}
\end{Form}
\end{document}

Thank you frabjous, that seemed to do it.

I know you've got a solution to your query but, in case it's of any use, I've written an article in the Know How section on creating forms in LaTeX.
