This is the exact code that's generating this :
// step 1
Document document = new Document();
// step 2
PdfWriter writer =
PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new
FileStream(@"C:\Users\Andre\Desktop\testpdf.pdf", FileMode.Create));
// step 3
document.Open();
PdfContentByte canvas = writer.DirectContent;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(100, 100, 110, 110);
PdfFormField field;
PdfFormField radiogroup = PdfFormField.CreateRadioButton(writer,
false);
radiogroup.FieldName = "language";
RadioCheckField checkbox = new RadioCheckField(writer, rect,
"check1", "on_check1");
field = checkbox.RadioField;
radiogroup.AddKid(field);
rect = new Rectangle(120, 100, 130, 110);
checkbox = new RadioCheckField(writer, rect, "check2",
"on_check2");
field = checkbox.RadioField;
radiogroup.AddKid(field);
writer.AddAnnotation(radiogroup);
document.Close();The checkboxes are around the bottom somewhere, and you'll need form highlighting to see them as I removed the bits of code adding the borders while I was cleaning my test of anything extraneous. If it makes any difference, I'm using Adobe Reader 9.4 Thanks for all the help.
