Set the default value to show or hide the field borders for Checkbox and Radio button fields.
Checkbox and Radio button fields include a native border around the check mark or selection. This border is useful when the document does not have pre-printed boxes, ensuring selections remain visually clear.
If the document already includes printed boxes, aligning fields to match them can be challenging. Disabling the field borders removes the extra outline, leaving only the check mark or selection indicator, resulting in a cleaner and more professional final document.
The Form Field Borders control sets the default border visibility for both checkboxes and radio buttons, allowing you to either display or hide borders based on your document’s needs.
