	Hi mdgodfrey, Tables in PDF don't exist as a real object, it's just a construction, so while it's definitely possible to place a checkbox in the desired location, it would be on top of the table layer (as form fields/annotations sit on the page, not in the content stream with the text used in the table) and not constrained by the limits of the tables borders. To put it another way, you can place checkboxes wherever you like but you have to specify the exact location, form fields cannot be placed relative to a tables edges. Cheers, - Rowan.

	Thanks much for the response. This is the approach I am attempting to take but right now I am struggling with a bug. The routines to find the location of a table cell do not return the correct coordinates.
