in the pdf document in which I make the interactive form I have the fields "Yes" and "No".

I want the buttons to be turned off when the document is turned on. and how do I choose and select "yes" for example, so that the "no" button is inactive. How to do it with the check box? at the moment I have at the selection of the only button, the other active, so it is nonsense.

I do not want to use the radio button because it looks strange, such a square in a square.

Let me try to summarize what you want to do:

You want them to function like radio buttons (that is, when one is selected the other is deactivated). But you want them to look like checkboxes.

The solution: Set them up as radio buttons so that you get the functionality you want (yes or no, but not both).

And then change the appearance of them in the Properties panel to look like checkmarks. You can alter the appearance under Properties/Appearance and /Options

You can change the appearance of a radio-button, you know...

Anyway, to do it with check-boxes you need to give them the same name but different export values.

I want it to look the same - 100% the same. I do not know how to set the property correctly to go out the same checkbox

This layout is not possible for a check-box in a PDF form. You can use 2 buttons with icons for the on/off states, though, and then show/hide them when the user clicks them.
