Question

How do you get duplicate sets of radio buttons to auto-fill in fillable forms?

I am working on a fillable form that is 6 pages with pages 4 through 6 duplicating pages 1 through 3. I have duplicated the fields and radio buttons, and the fields auto-fill, but the radio buttons do not. Is there a fix for this?

Go to radio button properties -> options tab and tick 'Buttons with the same name and choice are selected in unison'.

Hello Jackt,

Sorry for the delay in response to your query and apologize for the inconvenience caused. As per the description above, I can understand that you want to duplicate the radio buttons to auto-fill  in PDF forms, Is that correct?

Please refer and try the suggestions and solutions from the following KB doc which discusses the similar issue and scenario Duplicate Radio Buttons

Creating multiple Radio button groups or Fillable Text Boxes

Is there an easy way to copy radio button groups?

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

None of the links work. They all dump you on the Adobe community page. Yes, even if you are logged in.

Correct. The forums' system has been updated a couple of years ago and in the process almost all older discussions have been scrubbed, unfortunately.
