I am now able to create a radio button group with "pdAcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true);", acrobat rendering things nicely for me.
I am also able to create a group of checkboxes with default values also with "pdAcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true);", again acrobat rendering things nicely for me. My last hurdle is to create a radio button group with "pdAcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true);" and have a default value (or value) be displayed. Using your code provided earlier Tilman, I was able to set a value or a default value, but acrobat just does not want to render it. Is " pdAcroForm.setNeedAppearances(true);" a hack? Should I be rendering everything myself?
