I am using the same software and can 'try' & help with the first problem. In doing so, I will "assume" that you converted the file and created a "form" (using "Tools/Forms/Create").

If you did create a form with this file, Adobe should have picked up all of the check boxes and highlighted them. If you did create the form and Adobe did NOT pick up all of the check boxes, you can create a check box by right-clicking anywhere on the form and select "Check Box" then draw a square over the boxes that Adobe did not pick up. Format the properties for the check boxes and close the form editing.

Sorry, I cannot help you with the 2nd problem.

Hope this helps...
