Can one radio button group span two pages?

I am converting a paper form which has 4 mutually exclusive options that span from one page to another, but it seems the options in a radio group cannot span two pages. Is that correct? If not, how can I do it?


I realize that this layout is less than ideal, but I have no control over it so I'll just use checkboxes if necessary.

In PDF, form fields are global to the entire document.  So yes, radio button groups can span the entire document.

    Ah, I believe I see now.  Even though they will show as two different groups on two different pages, if they are named the same they will behave as one radio group.  I got hung up trying to get them to appear within same group in the field list.
