  • As of version 2.5.2 (and found on the older editions we try, such as 2.2.5 and 2.2.9), the PDF to Image smart service results in Filled Checkboxes (from a user-fillable form) rendering not as checked boxes, but as boxes with a smaller box inside them (as if, instead of a "check mark", each checkbox is being given a "broken image placeholder").  This is a big problem for us as this functionality was the one way we'd come up with to overcome a major blocker otherwise, but will be useless to us with this bug in-place as it's incomprehensible to end users.
