I have a simple form, when you click a checkbox it causes 3 radio buttons to appear, and unchecking causes them to hide. Works great, however, when I use the reset button to clear the form, it does clear the checkmark and the dot in the radio button, but it does not hide the radio buttons. I need to learn how to reset the form fields to hidden.

Any ideas/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Technology: AcroForms, Acrobat Pro 8.

Thx Jake

Reset only affects the field values, it does not affect the appearance state of fields. So you have to include this action yourself. One easy way to do this is to add "Show/Hide Field" actions to the reset button. Do this from the "Actions" tab on the Properties dialog for Reset button
