InDesign CS6 interactive pdf problem

Sep 20, 2012 7:59 AM

Hi, I've created an interactive pdf using InDesign CS6; document contains text fields and radio buttons. When exported the radio buttons flicker when you hover over them or click to make a selelction. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Many thanks

    Are you using standard radio buttons or have you customized them?

    Standard radio buttons: 016 from the sample buttons and forms.

    Not happening to me on either Macintosh in Mac OS X 10.8.2 on Acrobat X Pro.

     

    What operating system? Any special plug-ins or third-party products?

    I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.4.

    The only additional plug-in is the Blurb.com template creator

    OK, I've been trying a few things out. The problem I'm having is with a questionnaire, which, by it's very nature requires multiple questions with options to select one choice from. I've tried gradually deleting radio buttons and reached a point where the flickering stopped - does anyone know if there's a maximum number if radio buttons you can use?

    I have a hunch it could be an Acrobat/Reader limitation.

     

    Set up a part of the form without the radio buttons but just use circles. Export a PDF and open in Acrobat. Use Acrobat's Form Field Recognition to turn the circles into radio buttons (or use Acrobat's form feature to create radio buttons with the same value).

     

    I doubt it's InDesign that's the problem.
