Can you deselect a radio button?

Question

Hi, I am a forms designer and have recently been asked to make one of my client's forms fillable. I have purchased Adobe 9 Pro and everything was going quite well until I ran into an area that requires radio buttons.

It would seem that once a radio button is selected, it cannot be deselected, you can only move from one radio button to another.

Can anyone tell me how to deselect radio buttons or if it is even possible?

Thanks!

You can reset the form, but then you will lose all the data in it.If a radio button needs to be deselected, it should probably be a check-box.

Hi highviewgb,You can have a set of checkboxes that act as a radio button group. Here is an article on that-http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/creating-radio-checkboxesAnother possibility often used is to add a radio button for "none" in the group in case a choice is made and then the user decides it is not correct.Hope this helps,DimitriWindJack Solutionswww.pdfscripting.comwww.windjack.com
