Radio buttons in Acrobat Pro 8

I am trying to create a simple form with radio buttons.
When I try to add a radio button to the page, however,
it's too big. I can scale it up (i.e. make it larger) but if
I try to scale it down it just disappears.

Is there any way to scale a radio button to an arbitrary size?

Also, is there a way to position the radio buttons
more precisely? When I try to drag them around
it's like they're stuck to a grid.

I am using Acrobat Pro 8.1.2. This is my first time
trying to create a form in Acrobat.

Thanks.

You have the "Snap to Grid" feature enabled, so try disabling it. In Acrobat (7), it's controlled by the "View > Snap to Grid" menu item.

Right ... thanks. I just realized that.
Much better.

Now if I could just scale the radio buttons! They're too big.

Ah ... removing "snap to grid" solves both problems!

Thank you!
