Referring to this post my output first doesn't look similiar and I also can't click on the elements. I've used the exact same code there. Has anyone an idea why this happens? His first example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}% http://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref
\begin{document}
\begin{Form}
\def\DefaultWidthofChoiceMenu{12pt}%
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionA,radio]{}{Option1,Option2,Option3}
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionB,radio,radiosymbol=]{}{Option1,Option2,Option3}
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionC,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{108}]{}{Option1,Option2,Option3}
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionD,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{109}]{}{Option1,Option2,Option3}
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionE,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{96}]{}{Option1,Option2,Option3}
\end{Form}
\end{document}

His second example does lead to another issue: Radio's should be grouped by name, this seems not to happen on me:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}% http://ctan.org/pkg/hyperref
\begin{document}
\begin{Form}
\def\DefaultWidthofChoiceMenu{12pt}%
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionA,radio]{\mbox{}}\null Option1
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionA,radio]{\mbox{}}\null Option2
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionA,radio]{\mbox{}}\null Option3
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionB,radio,radiosymbol=]{\mbox{}}\null Option1
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionB,radio,radiosymbol=]{\mbox{}}\null Option2
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionB,radio,radiosymbol=]{\mbox{}}\null Option3
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionC,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{108}]{\mbox{}}\null Option1
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionC,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{108}]{\mbox{}}\null Option2
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionC,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{108}]{\mbox{}}\null Option3
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionD,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{109}]{\mbox{}}\null Option1
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionD,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{109}]{\mbox{}}\null Option2
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionD,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{109}]{\mbox{}}\null Option3
\medskip
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionE,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{96}]{\mbox{}}\null Option1
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionE,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{96}]{\mbox{}}\null Option2
\ChoiceMenu[name=optionE,radio,radiosymbol=\ding{96}]{\mbox{}}\null Option3
\end{Form}
\end{document}

I have no idea where that issue comes from and how to fix it.
pdflatex. If I usedxelatexthe giant open quotes disappear but there are still no radio boxes for the second and third options. I've tried viewing the pdf withokularandevincebut the result's the same. I sent a copy of the pdf to my son and it viewed correctly on Adobe Reader running on his Windows laptop. I don't know what's causing it. – Nicola Talbot Oct 14 '14 at 16:48pdflatex).
