Empty checkboxes don't print in 6 - after render to RTItem

I have a form that uses render to rich text item to send the form contents to the person who needs to process the info. The form has some checkboxes at the bottom that are in a table.

These checkboxes are not filled in by the person who submits the request. The Submit process uses render to RTItem to dump the contents into a memo which is sent to the person who processes the request. The memo is printed out and the processor works off of the printed copy to check off the different steps (signatures, etc).

The checkboxes print fine from a 5 client, but if I print from a 6 client, the checkbox fields don’t show at all. There are no hide-whens on these fields. The checkboxes are in a table.

The checkboxes are not in a layout region. The checkbox field is the only thing in the table cell, so I tried adding some dummy text to the cell. No help there.

The Application servers are running 5.0.12. Notes client version, 6.0.1

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!

I noticed the exact problem in a database I’d been working on. My workaround was to take a screenshot of the checkboxes in the original form. Then I created gif files and pasted them in place of the checkboxes. The rich text rendering in script worked the same and the resulting document printed correctly.
