Hi - I am fairly new to editing pdfs. I am currently creating a pdf off a word document, in which there are several radio buttons that are grouped. I would like the radio buttons to stay group, but also have the capability to unclick a radio button without having to reset the entire document. Is this possible?

My Product Information:
Acrobat, Windows

Accepted Answer
Yes, but not by clicking the radio button itself.
You can create a separate button that reset the radio group using a script like this:
this.resetForm(["Radio Button1"]);

How would I do that? I'm sorry...I'm really new at this and don't really know how to create much of everything. So, if I had the column below, with radio buttons next to each option, would I create a new radio button for the reset function? And where would I insert the script?

Are you using the Acrobat program or LiveCycle Designer program to create and edit your forms?

These are 2 programs within the the Acrobat product for Windows that can create and edit forms in the Windows Operating System environment. But the two programs operate very differently, so it is important to know which program you are using.

You could also add a Radio Button option for Not Applicable.

There are also a number of articles and videos in the Learning Center of this site about creating, editing, and coding forms in both Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer.
