How to make checkboxes instead of radio buttons by default

Hi I am new to Adobe Acrobat Pro and I work with version 11 on Windows 7. I created PDF forms from Excel spreadsheets, and it works well except that the list of selections is converted to a list of radio button when I want it to be a list box. I found an online script that converts the radio buttons for the boxes, but I while you must go back and rename all fields in the box to make it work properly. Is it possible that I can have Adobe simply create lists as the default boxes or is it a formatting I do in Excel to indicate I want check boxes?

It doesn't have the solution, but he has me on the trail of the rabbit to the solution. It caused me to labels in the form of Google led me to this guide. This guide also do not have the exact reason but by trial and error according to the instructions in the PDF file, I discovered the question: If a number is next to the check box, for some reason any Acrobat insists on what actually a radio button I added a letter in front of each number and Acrobat correctly it be termed as a checkbox. I couldn't find this documented anywhere however.

  • How to make an image, a radio button?

    I'm trying to create a drag and drop game using Adobe Flash, AS3. I have a "Select sex" page where I have both a male, a female model. I want users to be able to select either the image of male or female, but then a next button in order to take on the next page; However, the next page varies depending on which gender is selected.

    I am able to do this or would I need to change the images of radio buttons or just remove the next button so that the images are buttons?

    Please help with my dilemma?

    select gender.png

    in this case:

    function maleHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {}

    do male stuff

    var mPage:MaleDragAndDropTopsPage = new MaleDragAndDropTopsPage();

    addChild (mPage);

    }

    If you absolutely must have a nextButton, you can either go for two different instances of the key you call

    maleButton or femaleButton and join managers in these

    When you click on the male/femaleFigure

    you will have to somehow store state in a dynamic property, or a variable (no matter what ypu prefer).

    so at the beginning

    maleModel.clicked = false;

    femaleModel.clicked = false;

    both will have an extra clickHandler which defines their clicked Properties.

    The simplest and IMO more userfriendly way would be to use the numbers as buttons themselves.

  • How can I change a checkbox with a radio button?

    I downloaded a pdf file in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  The system automatically made some boxes as boxes and others like radio buttons.  I need to change the boxes to radio buttons as well as a selection can be selected on the lines crossing rather than the columns down.

    Hello well,.

    By default, EchoSign would read the fields of the form already added in the document (if available) and are presented in the same way. If you don't need boxes, then you will need to remove them and add radio buttons with EchoSign himself.

  • CheckBox "combo" as radio button

    Hello

    I have a form where I have two columns of check boxes.  Each line of a pair of boxes are true or false, and I want to be able to check one or the other based on user input.

    Basically, I'm looking to create a pair of checkboxes that behaves like a multually exclusive radio button.

    Is this possible or do I use radio buttons instead?

    Thank you

    Paul

    Use option buttons and change the appearance of being a hollow square then it will look like a box but act as a radiobutton.

  • Change radio button color default or unspecified

    Hi all

    the background color of my radio buttons is 'white' and the foreground is bloack,

    I want without colors (not specified) or (by default),

    How to do?

    Thank you

    I told you, it's black and white,

    any button of the radio I create takes these values by default (black and white).

    My team leader did it by clicking on the button "inherit" at the top of the range of property while it is on the property "background color"

    and it's done, but I don't know how?  What is the relationship between the 'inherit' button and this situation?

  • How to make a pop-up without button?

    Hi, I create a game where the player moves according to a ride and arrive at the designated space, there will be an interactive pop-up coming out immediately.

    However, I am unable to do it without a button to call the context menu. Is there anyway to make sure the pop-up is called automatically?

    The window is not a URL, and a clip from movie.

    In Flash player, there is no pop-up window, if you need something like this it must create a pop-up java script function in your web page and name it ActionScript...

    In your case, I think you don't need to do that just use a function to show and hide the window inside the SWF...

    For example:

    var window_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

    var textField:TextField = new TextField();

    var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

    textFormat.font = "Arial";

    textFormat.size = 15;

    textFormat.color = 0 x 666666;

    textField.text = "Your text here...";

    textField.wordWrap = true;

    textField.setTextFormat (textFormat);

    textField.width = textField.textWidth + 5;

    textField.height = textField.textHeight + 5;

    window_mc. AddChild (TextField);

    window_mc.x = 200;

    window_mc.y = 100;

    window_mc. Visible = false;

    addChild (window_mc);

    Now, the pop-up is on the stage, you can use window_mc.visible = true; from show it when you want, and window_mc.visible = false; to hide.

  • How to make the command still size buttons?

    Hi all
    When I do the command buttons in the page of the ADF
    the size of the buttons are not identical. It decrease or increase depend on the text label.
    If there is a way to make all buttons the same size?

    Best regards;

    You can set the property inlineStyle to a fixed width for all buttons, for example

    
                  
                    
                    
                    
                  
    

    Or use the count to change the buttons width around the world.

  • When using the 'tools', 'Interactive objects', 'Add a button', how to make the text for the button name is displayed? I have tried everything and only the background, or lacxk, appears.

    I created a pdf document using Adobe Acrobat XI base and want to put a link on each page, return to the table of contents. However, the tool "Add a link" I cannot place this link on each page at a time. Accordingly, I used the tool 'Add a button' interactive Actions that allows me to do what I want. However, when I enter the name of the button, add background color (or not) and register, the name of the text for the button does not show, only the background appears (or nothing if I select no background). The button works, it just is not labeled. Any help will be appreciated.

    This is the area of the label, under Properties - Options.
