Hi all,
I have attached a minimal non-working example .tex file and the resulting
PDF.
If I type something in the text input line, and/or click the check box,
when I print the file (from a variety of web browsers and versions of
Acrobat reader on Linux and windows) those show up in the printout (or the
"print to file" file).
However, if I select a radio button, while on screen the button is visibly
selected, but in the printout (or "print to file" file) the button is not
selected.
I understand (possibly incorrectly) that these widgets are using PDF
features which are a bit out toward the edge of the PDF galaxy, but in case
it is a "me" problem I come to the list, cap in hand.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix my example so that a selected radio
button prints out visibly selected?
[[
This PDF causes my "evince" program to dump core. Without the buttons
evince is somewhat happier, in that it doesn't dump core. I will wildly
guess that these problem are somehow related.
]]
(In case you are wondering... I created a fourth button because I don't
want any visible button to be selected when the document is opened, and
other methods I tried failed in various ways, depending on the program used
to view the PDF.)
Thanks.
Jim
