How do I get a radio button acting/check box looking "yes,no" set of checkboxes in InDesign CS6?

I'm able to do radio buttons OR check boxes, but not the desired "pick only one" yes/no checkbox. Have found lots of general info but not this specific answer. Thanks for any help.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you want the FUNCTION of radio buttons (choose only one) with the APPEARANCE of checkboxes (choose all that apply).
If this is the case you have two options:
• Create the buttons in ID as radio buttons and edit their button state appearances as appropriate, OR
• Just create the labels in ID and make the buttons in Acrobat, where there are 6 visual options for radio buttons.

Acrobat 9.1 Mac How do you change from Radio buttons to Check boxes?

I have a DMV Form I Downloaded and had to convert to PS then back to PDF (written originally on PC Acrobat was in XML format).
So on new form, I am able to add fields. I used the the Forms manager to automatically create the fields. Fields that were made Radio Buttons should have been Check boxes. How do change the Radio buttons to check boxes. There are a lot of them and I don't wish to have to re-key them in.
Suggestions?

Well when I click on the box it shows a Check mark in the box. That exactly what I need because in the instructions it requires a Check mark in each of the check boxes. Normally the Med form is sent as a paper copy from DMV every two years.
Also another Tip. A PDF that has XML Content. (PC Acrobat Version).
If you want a usable PDF on Mac and get rid of the XML do the following:
Open the XML Based PDF on Mac Acrobat 9.X .
Now choose export and save as Postscript File (.ps).
Now locate and drop on Distiller 9.X.
When PDF created will be a Pristine exact replica of the XML file except Mac Acrobat can edit and create forms with it.

Option ( Radio button or check box) on selection - screen , to go to CNR2

<b>Subject - Option ( Radio button or check box) on selection - screen , to go to Tcode CNR2</b>
Hi all,
      I have developed a report   , which has a selection screen with one select-option , where i enter employee number     and two radio buttons   , one is for all workcentres and other one   for active workcentre.   so when i enter employee number and choose either of the radio button i wil get the output properly. the output   displays , employee no, employee name , work centre and project of that employee .   an employee may have many workcentres   and   a corresponding project for that work centre.
Now the Problem is , from the same   report i need to add a option on the selection -screen , ( plz tell me whether to use radio button or check box   and if it is radio button    should i use it seperately or group it in the above two buttons.) .
so that when user selects the option   , the control should go to transaction code CNR2, from where i can enter workcentre and   in the next screen i have HR assigntment tab , after choosing that it will dsplay persons   linked to the workcentre and there is a delete icon , from where i can delete the person.
The only thing is now to move / Navigate to the screen   or go to transaction code CNR2   from the report or from the selection screen.
Your valuable Inputs are awaited, PLz do lemme know
Thanks in advance ,
regards,
Shuja

Shuja,
A radio button nor a checkbox should be used for navigation. I would suggest a COMMAND BUTTON.
Something like this:
Report ZZZZZZ.
TABLES: sscrfields.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK ONE WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
selection-screen: PUSHBUTTON /10(20) but1 USER-COMMAND cli1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK ONE.
initialization.
but1 = 'Button Text Goes Here'.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE sscrfields.
    WHEN 'CLI1'.
      call transaction 'CNR2'.
start-of-selection.
Your code here

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.

Captivate 8, knowledge check radio buttons and check boxes not diplaying correctly in HTML5

Hello. I am working in Cp 8 on a pc (Win 7, 64-bit) and publishing in HTML5, SCORM 2004, 3rd ed. My issue is with knowledge checks. In preview they look fine, but when published, the radio buttons and check boxes are oversized and do not appear as they should. Additionally, the rollover highlight that covers the distracters is skewed and does not cover all the text in cases of long answer choices. When published as a SWF, there are no issues but project requirements are for HTML5 output only. Help?

Create an XML Schema (XSD) and define that as the default form schema. The form data will conforms to the order of fields defined in the XML schema.
Hope that helps.

Radio Button and Check Box

I am looking for a way to implement a column domain as a radio button (e.g. Yes or No). So far I have only seen JHeadstart generate a list box. I cannot find any reference to radio buttons in the User Guide. Is it possible to generate a radio button?

Jan,
I looked into this post-gen action, but am not able to insert a radio group and buttons.
In a simple emp-dept application I am trying to create radio buttons in empTablePage.uix for the extra emp_class column I added to the emp table. The UIX components palette only gives me the option to insert a radio set. I can only get the option for radio group when I change the application structure to JSP.
BTW: Jdev 9.0.5.2

How can I get my radio buttons on one line?

I have tried to put two radio buttons in one text cell in a table, but I can´t get them side by side. They stack on top on each other, in a vertical list, no matter what I do.
Sorry for the stupid qustion, but this is my first attempt in LiveCycle Designer.

Thanks for your time. I found the soloution. I changed the flow direction in the suborm from "top to bottom" to "Western text"

How do I change the text in a field with radio buttons or check box?

Hi All:
I have a form that has a list of things with check boxes (could be done with radio buttons) at the bottom. The client wants a single field at the top of the form that repeats the text next to the checkboxes. For example if a user checks the box next to the words "You did thing 1 wrong" the client wants "You did thing 1 wrong" to appear in this text box at the top of the form. If the user checks the box next to the words "You did thing 2 wrong" the client wants the words "You did thing 2 wrong" to appear in the magic box at the top of the page. There are 10 different check box options, so the box at the top would need to be able to have 10 different things in it.
Client is not interested in a drop down menu. I asked.
I am in a bit over my head here, so my question is twofold.
1. Can you do this in Acrobat Pro 10 on a Mac?
2. Can you supply me with code?
Thanks in Advance,
Amy W.

Create a text field and make this script its custom calculation script :
     var a ="";
     if (this.getField("Check1").value == "Yes"){
     a="You did thing 1 wrong";
     event.value = a;
Also, replace "Check1" with the name of your check box or radio button, and give it an export value of "Yes".

Radio Button or Check Box Group

Hi,
I built a form based on a query. There is a flag column, only one of queried records is allowed to be "Y" in this column. The rests must be null.
Most ideal thing is to have a radio button group, only one of them can be selected.
Another way is to have a group of check boxes also allow only one checked. Once another check box is selected, the previously selected box must be unchecked.
Does anybody have idea of how to do it?
Thanks,
null

You have the save the number of the current ("checked") record in your data block.
After that you can launch a trigger which will scan every record in your data block (there are enough built-ins like FIRST_RECORD, LAST_RECORD, NEXT_RECORD, Current_record property, etc.)to allow you to do this. The trigger will set the check item property to "unchecked" if it is not the saved "checked" record.

How do I include the radio-button items on a second column as possible answers to the question?

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro X, we created a fillable PDF from an existing PDF.
One question can be answered by choosing one of four choices (radio buttons). The answers are laid out in a 2-by-2 arrangement.
When Acrobat Pro converted the PDF into fillable format, it thought that the radio-button answers on the second column are not part of the question.
How can I manually override Acrobat and make choices 3 and 4 part of the question.
Please click attached screenshot for better zoom.

George,
i am the OP. I mistyped my email address and cannot log in to my original account.
Thanks for your reply.
How do I give each radio button the same name but unique button values?
I right-clicked the first radio button, chose Properties (Ctrl+I).
I copied the name: "What is your personal net worth in Canadian dollars including spousecommon law partner if applicable".
I clicked Close.
I then went into the Properties dialog window of the third radio button, which is one of the ungrouped choices. I pasted the name [What is your personal net worth in Canadian dollars including spousecommon law partner if applicable]. I then clicked Close.
I get an error message pop up:
A field of a different type already uses this name. Please choose a new name for the field, or change the field type to match the existing field with this name.
What must I do now?
Thanks.

How to getvalue from selected radio button

    </table>Question: How to get the value from the textbox when the respective radio button is checked?
Thanksfor helping.

If the radiobuttons are within a form, then I am certain you can replace the lines marked
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="proID" > and
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="proDesc" >
with
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="proID" onClick="return onClickRadioBtn(this)">
and
<input type="radio" name="radiobutton" value="proDesc" onClick="return onClickRadioBtn(this)">
respectively.
You will then need to create the following JavaScript functions:
<script language="JavaScript">
function onClickRadioBtn(oRadioBtn)
if(oRadioBtn.value == "proID")
//Perform desired steps for ProID radio button
else if (oRadioBtn.value == "proDesc")
//Perform desired steps for ProDesc radio button
else
//Perform desired steps for a function call having
// neither values of the proID nor proDesc
return true;
</script>
Again, I am sure this solution works for objects within a <form name="xyz"...> html form. There is a possibility that this function call will work outside of a html form environment, but I simply can't recall implementing it in that fashion.
Hope this helps.

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.
