Add option for outlined-only radio button
Add option for outlined-only radio button circles in Acrobat form fields
Description of desired feature:
Please add an appearance option for radio buttons in Acrobat form fields that allows the button to display as an outlined circle only, without the filled black dot when selected.
Currently, radio buttons always display a filled center when selected. In many official forms and government-style documents, the required design is a simple outlined circle around the selected option rather than a filled dot.
This could be implemented as:
A new radio button style option
Customizable selection appearance
Border-only selected state
Adjustable stroke thickness and outline style
Why the feature is needed:
This feature is especially important for creating professional forms that must visually match official paper forms, immigration documents, government forms, and forms commonly used in Japan and other countries.
At the moment, creators must use workarounds such as:
Manually drawing circles
Using checkboxes instead of radio buttons
Overlaying custom graphics
Creating separate appearance states manually
These workarounds increase complexity and reduce compatibility with automated PDF form generation systems.
Having a native outlined-circle radio button option would greatly improve form design flexibility and allow Acrobat to better support real-world document workflows.
