    Remarks

    A radio button field is a set of related buttons.

    Note: An exception occurs when multiple radio buttons in a field have the same on state and the IsRadiosInUnison property is set to true. In that case, turning on one of the buttons turns on all of them.

    Use the CheckedAppearanceStateName property for changing the field value.
    Use the DefaultCheckedAppearanceStateName property for changing the default value of field.

    Example

    Here is an example that shows how to create a PDF document with two radio button groups:
