Losing radio buttons when requesting signatures on form

Hey!

Windows 10

Adobe Acrobat Pro - 2023.008.2055

Business (3) Licenses 

 

I generated a PDF in Word, and I'd like to create a form I can then send out to request signatures vs distribution.   Every time I go through the process and click request signatures, the radio buttons disappear. I can go back and add them, but it's not as clean and a pain. I'm missing something simple and stupid, but I'm at a loss now. 

 

My workflow: "Prepare a Form" > "Select a File" > Open my PDF > check "this document requires signatures" box > Auto-Detect ON > Create Form

 

I laid out all my fields nicely, labeling everything. Most are text only, with a few check boxes and a dozen radio buttons. 

 

Once I click on Request Signatures, it takes me to the recipient page, informs me it's removing everything unsupported, and deletes all my radio buttons. I can add them back, but it's clunky and unclean. 

 

I've also tried to convert to Adobe Sign form instead of starting with "this needs signatures." 

 

Thanks for any help!

Did you save/as PDF or did you convert to PDF?  There's a big difference, you lose some features if saved as pdf as opposed to generate pdf.

Ended up having to revert to the former version of Adobe after chatting
with support. It seems like a pretty solid failure to push an update that
removes some standard features.
