After a bit of experimentation I found that I could recreate the form
from scratch in Acrobat, and then everything works!
Thanks again for a terrific library!

I have had the same "Expected a name object" error with radio buttons,
and up to now my solution was simply to avoid radio buttons. I was
unaware of the Acroforms vs XFA issue.
If a form is created using Adobe Acrobat (not Lifecycle Designer, just
the simple tools in Acrobat), is it possible to force Acrobat to save
the form as an AcroForm? Would this allow radio buttons to work?
Thanks,
Carl

Thanks guys, I will see what I can do and if I come up with a fair solution, I will post it back here.
Also, last night I was thinking about an alternate method to tackle the issue. You know how I said that if I copied the fields first (via PdfCopyFields), everything worked fine if I clicked the radio button that was already selected cosmetically but something internal was messed up. Basically I believe the method is indirectly converting the Designer form to an AcroForm (probably also stripping out some Designer specific attributes and widgets like date selector). I wonder if it would be easier to update the PdfCopyField process to correctly deal with the Radio Button conversion?
Just a thought. I'm assuming the Designer XFA solution would be more efficient
but perhaps the other solution using the Copy process would allow individuals
to bring the designer forms into a realm of AcroForms where iText is strong.

Replace pdf by XFA in one of the above references ;-)
