Radio Buttons in PDF Output
Radio Buttons now generate into entry PDF forms for variable fields using the X-or-Space field type and MutEx group association
Mutually exclusive field groups specified on X-or-Space fields can be interpreted as a desire to use radio buttons in Thin-client (mobile) since a mutually exclusive grouping means that only one field within the group will contain data.
With this release of 12.7.2, Entry PDF forms now provides a radio button grouping from this same type of definition.
This functionality applies to PDFs created when using the FillableFields = Yes setting within the appropriate PRTYPE INI group.
Requirements:
- Fields must defined as field type “X or Space” or “Yes and No”
- Fields must specify the same MutEx Group property tag
- Fields must be on the same section and on the same page
- There must be at least two fields
- The field sequence order/definition within the section determines the order of the radio buttons
Example
The Radio Button appearance is a circle with a solid inner circle for the selected radio button. The size of the Radio Button is determined by the size of the font used by the variable field. You can use the mouse to select a Radio Button or the arrow keys to move to individual buttons and the tab key to exit the radio button in order to move to the next field.
