Fillable form: Creating Custom-Sized check-boxes/transparent strike-over on "yes/no"

[Case59]

I'm trying to create a fillable PDF form, using an existing form. I'm new to Adobe Acrobat and this is my first time trying to create such a form. Two questions:

1. The existing form has something like 50 check-boxes. How do I create a custom-sized check box, so I don't have to manipulate the size of the box each time?

2. The form has several "yes/no" choices, and other places where strike-overs are required. How do I make it so the user can put an "x"or check-mark on yes or no or other text without blocking out the original text?

I am the newbiest newbie. In general, if anyone can recommend any Youtube or other tutorials for creating fillable forms, that would be great.

Thanks for any help.

1. Create a new check-box and resize it to the desired size. Then right-click it and select "Use Current Properties as New Defaults".

Now select the Add New Field tool, and then check-box, and just click anywhere on the page. The field created will have the correct size.

2. Set the fill color of the field to No Color, under Properties - Appearance.
