Hi,

 

I would like to know if it is possible to create a check box or radio button or ok button that will simply circle the choice made instead of a solid ball or check or x in the center of it.  I have included the document and a picture pointing to where I am trying to implement this.  Please let me know if you can help me.

 

Best regards

J

    You can use buttons instead with this script in each button as 'Mouse UP' action:

    event.target.strokeColor = (color.equal(event.target.strokeColor, color.transparent)) ? color.black : color.transparent;

    Here is your file with script and buttons added, I also add condition, so only one button can be 'selected' at a time:

    Is there any way you can repost the script again? I am trying to make a circle button and Acrobat is so frustratingly limited. I am trying to make it so that users can click on one of a series of numbers (1 to 10) and have the number circled. I wish Acrobat were easier to set up forms with. Thanks!
