I have created a form using radio buttons. I just want to know how to uncheck a button once it has been checked without resetting the entire page.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 6.0.2, Macintosh

The only distinctions between checkboxes and radio buttons is the cirlce appearance you can get with a radio button and the fact that a radio button CANNOT be unchecked once a user has checked it. If you want a user to be able to uncheck without resetting the form, use a checkbox instead of a radio button.

Yes, it's possible!
Try...

this.getField('nameofyourradio').value = 'Off'.

It's working for me.

After you create the form and test the radio buttons, you can go to the menu to Forms and select Clear Form and the radio buttons become unchecked. Then you can distribute the form to your users.
