Hello,
I have a form in word that contains 3 check boxes in a row in sebsequent columns. When I convert it to PDF, select Tools, select Create (from exisitng document, current document) it auto populates the fields it can recognize. Luckily it recognizes the check boxes that I already have. The problem is that the form recognizes one of the rows of check boxes as a group of check boxes but a different row of check boxes are not grouped together. The grouped check boxes make it so that only one check box can be selected at a time. The ungrouped check boxes gives the user the ability to chek multiple of the boxes. When I am looking at the fields pain on the right hand side I can see the difference between the grouped check boxes and the check boxes without a group. I want to know how to group specific fields together manually when converting it from word to PDF didn't automatically group them together.
Thank you,
Aaron

Exclusionairy groups in Acrobat are created by giving the check boxs/radio buttons in the group the same name but heving each widgit export a different value.
The form wizard is not very bright, so we have to do edit several items on a form created with the wizard.

I appreciate the quick reply. I don't mind doing several edits to items after the wizard picked up 98% of the information correctly. Can you walk me through how to make those edits?
I was thinking it would have been as simple as selecting the 3 Fields, right clicking, and choosing an option of "group together" or something like that.
Thank you,
Aaron

To group the fields use the same name and different export values.
