Hi
Is there a way to create a circle around your text that works like the checkbox function. For example: you have 3 choices in your form - Mr., Mrs. & Miss. When you click on one of the choices, you get a circle or oval shape that surronds the text. I am using acrobat pro 8.
Thanks
MJ

In a short answer, no. There's not a built-in function that will enable you to add an image such as a circle to the text field.

A kludge workaround would be to create 3 button fields using a vector art circle as a button face. As the user clicks one option, you can have a JavaScript or Action show the field. By default, all fields should be hidden. You'll also have to add a script or Action to hide a field if a user selects a second option (one action to hide the existing image and another to show the circle around the selected option).
