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?
Yes, it is a bit of a hack. Good applications should create their own
appearance streams. In PDF 2.0 it will be mandatory.

Indeed. I've been there too and looked through the code.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi
I did manage to get a Radio Group functioning, I have posted the code to my
question on stack overflow -> http://stackoverflow.com/a/34895158/415681
The next problem will be getting a default value set.

Here's the code I did yesterday:
http://justpaste.it/CreateRadioButtons
The problem is that Adobe does things on its own even if the appearance streams are set. This seems
to be related to the appearance characteristics (/MK). I haven't been able to teach it to "do
nothing", or "do it all" when I do nothing (having empty streams).
