Not quite sure what you mean, but it sounds like you need to check/uncheck the radio buttons each loop.

well I have users. Each user have test taken so now i need ot display the results. For the first user all radio buttons are checked, for the second and rest none of the radio buttons are checked
how are you setting the results as checked or not? Should the first user have all checks?
ASKER
it is in the coldfusion loop. And I am only outputting the completed test. so at least some options are check.
Also If i output to html then all appropriate radio buttons are checked. I am using <cfdocument format="pdf">

CF8 doesn't support form field creation with cfdocument. It doesn't error, but the fields don't really work right. I haven't used it, but the CF9 docs suggest it might be supported if OpenOffice is installed.

well what I doing is storing all forms into cfsavecontent and then using cfdocument
<cfsavecontent variable="printHTML">
</cfsavecontent >
<cfdocument format="pdf">
<cfoutput>
#variables.printHTML#
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
<cfsavecontent variable="printHTML">
</cfsavecontent >
<cfdocument format="pdf">
<cfoutput>
#variables.printHTML#
</cfoutput>
</cfdocument>
>> And I am only outputting the completed test.
In that case it doesn't make to sense to generate working radio buttons anyway. Display an image instead, like an image of check mark
ie <img src="http://yourserver.com/folder/containing/checkmarkimage.png">

I just waned to reuse the code. that I already got

That's fine as long as it's just html. But like I said you can't create <form>'s or form fields like <input> using cfdocument. They're not supported.

well it works for 1 person when i do the output. OK it is html . By html has a form in it . so by removing the <form tag
Gah... our posts keep crossing.

To be 100% clear - you can't. Not if the code contains form fields. Not the answer you want to hear, I know. But that's the way it is. What you're trying to do just isn't supported. Sorry.

But again it doesn't make sense to try and create working radio buttons. If the purpose of the pdf is to store results from a web form then it shouldn't be interactive anyway. So the way I see it the problem is the goal rather than lack of support for interactive forms in <cfdocument>.
