Create a radio button field
Radio buttons can be assigned the same attributes as check box fields. You use radio buttons more often
for either/or responses. When you create check boxes you can uncheck a checkbox by clicking on it. The
only way to uncheck a radio button is to clear a form or check another button that turns off companion
radio button checkmarks.
To add a radio button field:
1. Open the PDF in Nitro Pro 9
2. On the Forms ribbon tab, in the Fields group, click Radio Button
3. On the page, drag the pointer where you want the field to appear
4. Double-click on the field and do one of the following (depending on your preferences):
l In the Properties context tab, name the field and set its appearance settings
l In the Properties dialog, name the field and set its appearance settings
5. Do either of the following:
l If you're using the Properties context tab, in the More group, click Properties and then
Options
l If you're using the Properties dialog, click the Options tab
6. Select Options. Choose a style for the radio button appearance from the Radio Button Style drop
down menu. Click the Export Value field and add a value. If you want all radio buttons checked
when one button is selected, check the box for the same name and values are selected in unison
NOTE: To create a set of radio buttons that are all aware of each other's state, they must all be set with
the same name.
To edit a radio button form field:

2. On the Form ribbon tab, in the Fields group, do either of the following:
