Razzak,
Solved my PDF Viewer issue. Followed your suggestions which all worked,
but I kept playing with it. Also went to cut 5 acres of grass. A
great activity where your brain can just wander. Half way through it
struck me that if the black star/rectangle/check box is a font issue and
embed fonts are creating size, change the checkbox to a DB Label removes
the font issue entirely because the stored data is simply common text in
the available fonts. I had used 'Y' and 'N' as the checked/unchecked
text settings. DB Label worked immediately. Report looked busy, but
changing the settings to 'X' and '-' (in BOLD 10) made the 'X' stand
out. The '-' is less obvious, but it solves a Medicaid documentation
issue by having a mark in every report field.
Outcome: black stars and rectangle are gone, file looks perfect in PDF
Viewer and Adobe, the 'X' shows the selected choices, file prints
correctly, and (because the Embed Font pipe is not needed) the file size
stays at 65K. And for the "Duh" moment, reading the PDF documentation
(slowly) shows setting the Open pipe to Off keeps Adobe closed. Sometime
you just have to step away to solve a problem. Now I have about 300
report check boxes to change. Thanks for your help and a great, flexible
product.

Adobe reads the non-Embed R:Base created PDF just fine. What
changed between V8 and V9? V8 does this with no problem.
Tom,
Did you read the following very specific note in my last reply?
"It seems that the enhanced PDF Viewer Control in R:BASE eXtreme
9.0 requires the inclusion of fonts in PDF report to display all
CheckBox controls accordingly. While we take care of the backward
compatibility, try the following code and see what result you
get when viewing the PDF report with CheckBox in PDF Viewer."
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
