Using the existing button library, I have added some interactive radio buttons to a form I am designing. The intent is to export to an Interactive PDF. In InDesign, the button size/appearance seems fine, but in the exported PDF, they look way too large and strange. What sort of thing might be causing this?
Here's a comparison of what I see in ID, vs. what's in the PDF:

I don't think you can resize the radio buttons that way - you'd have to make that change in Acrobat afterwards. I'm not 100% sure on this one - but it seems like radio buttons have to be a certain size in Acrobat. I could be wrong, it's a long time since I used them.

Couple of questions. I may be missing something here, but what is the small gray circle to the lower right side of your radio buttons in InDesign? There should be a circle inside the radio buttons, I think (Assuming Show Frame Edges in on). Also, it appears you are using a table? If so, are the buttons anchored in each cell or just sitting on top? I am unable to reproduce this problem. Can you post a snippet from the ID file?

I have the exact same issue. It's driving me mad I spent hours creating a form with tons of radio buttons and I just cannot find the issue.
If the author has any clue how to fix I'd appreciate an update to this
when I select them the bounding box indicates that they are enlarged
then in the export it looks like this 😞
Half a days work lost I assume. Will have to re-do the form and redo 200 radio buttons.

Fix them in Acrobat. Change one select them all and choose match size in the forms tools panel. Then you can use the align and distribute functions. Shouldn't take long.

Not necessarily.
Check all other states of the object.
