Re: uncheck all radio
Hi, Sebastien_B
Radio buttons, when placed, will be unchecked. If you have mistakenly checked one of them, the only way to clear it is to reset the form: So long as you have not specified for any one field to be "checked by default", this will work. If you have, simply disable that function from the properties pane (Ctrl+~) while the filed is selected with the "select fields" tool.
Kind regards,

Re: uncheck all radio
What if I'm filling in a form I received from someone and accidently checked a button/field. But I've also spent the past 30 minutes filling in the remainder of the form before noticing that? I don't want to start from scratch!

Hello fletch,
In that case - just select the relevant radio button option from the available ones provided by the form creator.
Ideally there should be an "none of the above" kind of radio option, if that radio group does not require a mandatory selection in the form you are filing in.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: uncheck all radio
Yeah, that's the problem, poor form design. There are 3 radio buttons. I clicked one. Then realized the "section" those radio buttons were in did not apply. So NONE of the radio buttons were applicable and 'none of the above' was not an option. To make things worse, I had filled in ALLOT of fields on the form so resetting ALL of them is just not ideal. Seems that no PDF tools have a solution for this - perhaps due to design restrictions in the PDF format.

Hello fletch,
Just spent some time reading the JS API specification, and you can actually call a single line JS code:to reset only a specific field and not the whole form. The "Group1" should be changed to the name of your particular radio button group name.
You can open the JS console in the Editor with the Ctrl + J key combination.
Kind regards,
Stefan
