Create a radio button field
Radio buttons can be assigned the same attributes as check box fields. You use radio buttons more often for either/or responses. When you create check boxes you can uncheck a checkbox by clicking on it. The only way to uncheck a radio button is to clear a form or check another button that turns off companion radio button checkmarks.
To add a radio button field:
- Open the PDF in Nitro Pro 7
- On the Forms ribbon tab, in the Fields group, click Radio Button
- On the page, drag the pointer where you want the field to appear
- Double-click on the field and do one of the following (depending on your preferences):
- In the Properties context tab, name the field and set its appearance settings
- In the Properties dialog, name the field and set its appearance settings
- Do either of the following:

- If you’re using the Properties dialog, click the Options tab
