I have added visualfore page to export into pdf my content is exported to pdf working fine but the checkbox not exported into PDF.

 

 

Visualforce Page code :

 

<apex:page showHeader="false" renderAs="PDF" cache="true" controller="GeneratesPdfController" >

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />

<style type="text/css">
@page{
size:A4 portrait;

@bottom-right {
content: "Page " counter(page) " - " counter(pages);
font-family: 'Arial', 'Helvetica', sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<apex:form>

 

My Checkbox : <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="val1" checked="true" />

</apex:form>

Hi Ketan,

 

Instead of Input checkbox you can use salesforce standard image to display checkbox as below.

 

Visualforce Page:

<apex:page showHeader="false" renderAs="PDF" cache="true"  >
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />    
    <style type="text/css">
        @page{
            size:A4 portrait;
            
            @bottom-right {
                content: "Page " counter(page) " - " counter(pages);
                font-family: 'Arial', 'Helvetica', sans-serif;
                font-size:10px;
            }
        }
    </style>
    </head>
    <apex:form>
    My Checkbox : 
                <img src="/img/checkbox_unchecked.gif"/>
                <img src="/img/checkbox_checked.gif"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Yes, i came to know that when we export checkbox from visualforce page to PDF it not displayed if we use html tag or apex tag.

Only image is the way to show checkbox in PDF.

 

Thanks Hitesh,
