Check Boxes and Editable

I'm having an issue with check boxes and the editable property. Check boxes with editable set to true are still unable to be edited on both native PDF viewers or Adobe Reader plugin for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. In addition, when the PDFs are opened in the desktop version of Adobe Reader, the icon/styling for the check boxes are instead just blank for false or 'v' for true, but can be edited unlike in the browser view.

Notes:
- Everything functions properly in the preview window.
- It is not the MRT itself, as making a new MRT file to test the issue shows the same result.
- Opening other example PDFs with check boxes from sources work properly, so it is not an issue with the browsers or plugins.
- I'm using Stimulsoft Reports.Net v2014.3.0 with .Net Framework v4.0.30319.

I've included the test MRT and PDF files, though it is only a blank page with a single checkbox.

Hello.

The editable checkboxed implemented with PDF Form buttons. It's impossible to do this with PDF checkbox because it has one strict view.
The Firefox PDF plugin does not support Forms at all. It seems that Chrome plugin does not support buttons.

We have reproduced the issue with editing of checkbox. We need some time to make an improvement.
We will keep in touch with any news.

Thank you.

Hello.

We have made an improvement.
As we wrote before some viewers don't support PDF Forms, even created in Adobe Acrobat.
We intend to add support of PDF form checkbox.
Please, check our next prerelease build.

Thank you.
