interaction with radio buttons

interaction with radio buttons

[Johannes Hüsing]

Dear all,

using the example of radiobuttons in uptodate 1998-01, I fail to get
the buttons interactive. When using the pdf doc with Acrobat Reader,
the buttons are there but the cursor won't give me the finger when
it hovers over them, nor does clicking have any effect.

Is there anything I fail to observe?

Groetjes

I ran the latest ConTeXt on your test document and looked at it with
acrobat reader 5 on MacOS X and everything was fine.

How do you open your document in Acrobat Reader? It makes a
difference whether you open it by File->Open or "Previous View/Back"
after closing the document.

What version of the reader are you using?

I type "acroread example.pdf" on the shell.

- Opening the document from Acrobat Reader doesn't make a difference.

- The mwidget-s.pdf document itself works fine.

Opening with Acrobat Reader 5.0 for Windows works fine.

Hi,

the JavaScript implementation differs from version to version. I
don't have AR 4 here, so I can't test it. Hans has a good overview
about JS and AR.

I don't know what openactions are default, but try these two:

\setupinteraction[state=start,openaction=]
\setupinteraction[state=start,openaction=ResetForm] 

(But I have no idea if this has to do with your problem. Just poking around.)

in most cases i leave openaction empty (or sometimes something 
openaction=page(2) or so); the ResetForm is/was sometimes needed if you 
want to make sure that widgets are initialized (there is some fuzzy async 
initialization in acrobat, imagine that you access page 4 while acrobat in 
the background is still initializing form fields as well as the javascript 
engine while page 4 has some fields on it that are related to fields 
somewhere else in the document)

Neither one makes a difference.
