Forms - Radio Buttons as check boxes which turn into circles - Need them to stay as check boxes.

Hi
I am working on some forms for Teachers Reports it is a generic document for student reports. I have set the document in Indesign 6 and edited the pdf form in Acrobat Pro.
The form consists of Radio Buttons (Check Boxes) as they have to score the child between 1-4 and the teacher is only allowed to select 1 box from out of the 4 boxes (hence radio buttons) .
The problem we are having is that there might be 2-3 teachers that have to write and score each child's in a certain section of the report and they might use a PC or MAC to do this.
For some reason, some of the reports have changed the Radio Button "Check Boxes" to a "Circle" both in the PDF and when printing and they need it to be a Check box. (In indesign this was set to Check Box and to print as a Check box)
Some how after the teachers have used different computers the check boxes have changed to circles and we need to change them back to check boxes but is there a way to change them without having to go "Forms" > "Edit" > "Select all circles" > "Properties" > "Options" > "Button Styles" > "Change to Check".
But it is not changing to all of the reports on some.
Is there an easier option can select properties and search the "circles" and change to "check boxes" for the whole document?
I really don't want to have to go into each report and have to change each individually or export and import the data in the forms and the teachers dont want to have to rewrite each report.
Someone please help!

Are all of the teachers using Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), as opposed to something like Preview on tha Mac or Microsoft Reader on Windows? Preview is known to corrupts PDF form in a number of ways, including converting radio buttons to check boxes. Microsoft Reader causes other types of corruption. Also, if you create the fields in InDesign, it uses non-standard appearances for the various states and even Reader/Acrobat doesn't always set them in the way you might expect, so it's best to create them in Acrobat.
Your description is a bit confusing since you're calling them radio buttons and check boxes at the same time. Can you clarify what the original field type is?
It is possible to set the various field appearance properties with a script, which could loop through all of the fields and make the needed changes, but without more information about what's causing the changes and exactly what the changes are, it's hard to suggest anything specific.

My mails are duplicating to a smart box. I don't want them to stay in the box where they came from, only to the smart box they are going to.

I have a smart box designed to receive certain emails. The emails arrive safely to the smart box, but they are also remaining in the original inbox where they arrived. I don't want them in two places. If I delete them from the original inbox will the same email that's in the smartbox stay or also delete? Thanks.

When i try to delete messages from my email in box, they turn into a "No Sender" email and I cannot delete these.....

Acrobat 9-forms-Radio buttons print different than check boxes

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create forms.
I've used both radio buttons and check boxes (that are circles).
Forms were designed in InDesign with Zapf Dingbats as the open circles to be filled in.
I used radio buttons when the user had to pick one over the other.
I used check boxes when there were multiple choices or I wanted the user to be able to uncheck a box. (I used the circle style so they would look like radio buttons).
The radio buttons are printing differently than the check boxes. It looks almost like there is an overlay on top of the actual open circle created by Zapf Dingbats.
I checked the "appearance" window and there is no border or fill color on the radio buttons (same for the check boxes).
Under the <general> tab, <common properties> is visible. I'm assuming it should be in order for the radio button to appear on the form.
I would appreciate any input as to how to fix this.
Thansk!
Maureen

That's just the way radio buttons are, and one reason I rarely use them in preference to check boxes. If Adobe wanted to, they could allow you to use any appearance you want for both the selected an unselected state of a check box or radio button, but they've actually further restricted your options over the years.

Form Radio Buttons or Checkboxes not created in Acrobat 9 Pro

If this needs to be placed in another forum, please just let me know.
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro - current version - 9.4.3.
I am using Word 2010
I am running Windows 7
I have created a simple form in Word. Using the guidelines from the white paper - Acro9_designforms.pdf provided by Adobe, those fields where I want a radio button insert a checkbox instead when running the Form Wizard in Acrobat.
My sample is exactly the same as in the sample used in the white paper.
I used a circle symbol from the Wingdings font, as recommended by Adobe.
Salutation
O Mr.
O Ms.
O Dr.
The end result is still a checkbox, even though it is a circle in the display.
What am I doing wrong?
I do not want to use LiveCycle Designer, as once the form is created in LiveCycle, the form fields can no longer be edited in Acrobat and I must maintain the ability to edit in Acrobat.
Thank you for your assistance.

Oh, the Wizard is a fabulous tool for basic forms. And, since Adobe has given an extensive list of 'guidelines', which is what I am testing, I thought I would ask for feedback from those who do use it and from those who have had success in using it.
The Wizard is mostly terrific, if you use the guidelines when setting up the source document. It saves a lot of manual field creation and fixing later. This one, though, is not working as expected. So, I might be doing something wrong and the responses I seek are from those who have had success with the feature - not with manual workarounds, which of course we know can be achieved. :)
Nothing is "magic". I don't think either I or Adobe are implying that it should be. However, when they state a feature works in a certain way and I am not getting those results, I like to explore why. Silly me. hahaha
The example I gave in my initial post is the only thing in the form, as I am testing the features for when I present this topic.
I am merely trying to determine if others are having success (or not) when creating their document initially in Word (for example), using the guidelines that Adobe states for Radio Buttons being created. If there is a certain font that someone is having success with other than those stated by Adobe, I would love to know. For me, so far, it is not. If it's user error, then I would love to know from someone who has had success.
Here is what Adobe states as part of their Radio Button form field guidelines when setting up a document in Word, for example:
§ Use circular objects or numbered buttons to in a single row or column to indicate radio buttons.
§ Use group labels to the left of or above each radio button group – otherwise they will default to check boxes. Field names are determined from the group labels and individual button labels from the text to the right of each location.
§ Use the following text labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Yes/No, M/F, Male/Female, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr.
§ Use one of the following group labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Salutation, Sex, Occupation.
thanks

Cant fill a form (radio button)

Hey.
I frequently need to fill a form and I cant do so with my Ipad because at certain point I need to select an option with a radio button and the Ipad doesnt recognize it. The form also has square box and there I dont have a problem, I can check it. But when it comes to the radio (circular) button, I cant hit it and fill it.
Why is this so?
Thanks.
(Sorry for my poor english)

Radio button can be selected using the Safari App on the iPad, but the website has to be at least somewhat coded for mobile viewing. See if you can zoom in on the screen before tapping the radio button, this sometimes help. If in the end, you are still unable to complete it, try another browser like Chrome. Some websites don't play nice with mobile devices and touch screens so you may get mixed results. Apple uses Radio buttons in the forgot.apple.com website as well as many other I'm assuming and they all function fine from the iPad screen, so it is more than likely just the website you are utilizing. Good Luck.

Adobe Form- Radio Button!!

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Adobe Form in which the data is coming from the Backend RFC. So my DataSource is binded to the Bapi node.
Now my requirement is to add Radio Button for which I have defined in the Dictionary SimpleTypes and binded an attribute to it.
The problem is since my DataSource in the PDF Form is already binded to the Bapi node I cant get the data for the Radoi button from the attribute(Dictionary simpleType).
Can somebody suggest me how to go about it in my case. Any useful Help will be given points.
thanks,
Vikram..

Hi,
You will have to define a value node and then copy values from model node to value node. This way you can define additional attrbute apart from the atributes for data.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Controling HTML form Radio Button

I'm working on automating the check-in and check-out of items in a process queue, but the process queue is web-based. I can input usernames, lot IDs, passwords, and "press" submit buttons programatically by using ActiveX IWebBrowser2 properties (and related).

Forms- Radio buttons

Hi,
I've got a form that has radio buttons included which work fine. But what I want is, when a particular radio button is clicked then a new sub-menu will appear, and there will be a different sub-menu for each radio button. Apologies if I haven't explained it that well but I will post any clarifications should you need them.
Thanks.

You want to do a search for javascript and dependant radio buttons. You should be able to get a script pretty quick.

Form/Radio Button/Email Question

How can I fix the form on http://www.cec-waterjet.com/Contact/index.html so that it sends an email to the contact whose radio button is selected?

The script you have now should work, it's just not very secure. I meant find a different script where, instead of entering the actual email address in the recipient field, you entered a key or index that points to the address that's been entered somewhere in the script or configuration file, so the email address isn't anywhere in the HTML. I've got an (old-ish) PHP script that works that way here:
http://www.mindpalette.com/scripts/index.php#NMAnchor
...but if you need another CGI script like you've already got, I don't have any specific recommendations, sorry. It was just a suggestion :-)

3G on iPhone 4 Turning into Circle Often After Updating To iOS 6

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed something similar to what I'm experiencing. I have an iPhone 4 with Verizon service and updated to the new iOS 6 on Saturday. The last 3 days I have noticed that my 3G has turned into the circle more than it normally does. I live in Nashville and while I sometimes run into times where I get the circle, it's usually only once in awhile and this time it's happened several times over the last 3 days in places I go every day and normally have no problem.
I have no idea if this is linked at all to updating to the new iOS 6 but figured it couldn't hurt to ask others' opinion.
Thanks!
Michelle

My suggestion:
Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
3.Sync your device again.
It probably will help you.
Good Luck

When I try to access something with Adobe Flash, I have to click on the "f" which turns into a "play" button. I do not need to do this step in Safari. Help.

Is there something blocking Adobe Flash which causes me to have to hit the play button every time I want to access a page using Flash?

you can just go into the firefox addons manager and disable it or remove it there in case you no longer need it: [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]

Is it possible to repair a damaged file which turned into a black background layer?

I was working on a file about 4 hours and i was saving every 10 mins, then suddenly the power cut off and i opened the file and found it a black background layer.
Is there any solution?

If you were saving the file every ten minutes, then a power-outage would not make you lose anything more that what happened since the last save. It is possible that the file was damaged on the hard drive by the power-outage and it has nothing to do with Photoshop at all.
I do want to point out that Photoshop does not have an auto-save function. There is an Auto-recovery function which will create a sort of back-up of your file every 10 minutes (default setting). This is not simply a copy of your file, nor is it saving over you original file. Instead, this is a special version of the file that is intended to open in Photoshop after a crash. However, the power-outage may have damaged this file (as described above).
Check the file size, if it is very small, that would tell us there is no image information in it to recover. We could always take a look. But if it opens in Photoshop without error, it sounds like the file is fine but doesn't have any changes from when it was nothing but the black background.

Forms - Radio Buttons as check boxes which turn into circles - Need them to stay as check boxes.
