I confirm the description but: - option button not working in xreader and xpdf but is working in Master PDF Editor and Adobe Reader 9 in Linux - not working in older PDF-Xchange Viewer is working in newer Xchange Editor and in Adobe Reader 2022 in Windows Still, it worked before LO 6.3 so I'll confirm, unless explained why this wouldn't be a bug. commit 76b5dca9dc0ff60f8f62cbecdee68f8f3b287ceb author Thorsten Behrens <Thorsten.Behrens@CIB.de> tdf#113448 don't export any font for radio buttons

Miklos: How to know if the pdf is indeed correct? I tried to find some PDF online validator but not very useful. I mean, perhaps some PDF clients are buggy (since depending on the client, click may work or not).
https://docs.verapdf.org/cli/validation/ might be useful. I haven't tried it myself, I only recently discovered it. Last time I needed a PDF validator, I used https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx -- but that sucks a bit, as it's an online-only tool. I hope of these do what you need. :-)

It seems we need to retrieve the source, I suppose from https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-validation then build, then test. I git cloned the repo, then noticed I had to install maven so Java tool. I haven't tried yet, I thought there would be standard tools (ideally in C/C++). > Last time I needed a PDF validator, I used > https://www.pdf-online.com/osa/validate.aspx -- but that sucks a bit, as > it's an online-only tool. I hope of these do what you need. :-) I had found this one but it just returned: " File testjul.pdf Compliance pdf1.6 Result Document does not conform to PDF/A. Details Validating file "testjul.pdf" for conformance level pdf1.6 The operator has an invalid number of operands. The document does not conform to the requested standard. The document doesn't conform to the PDF reference (missing required entries, wrong value types, etc.). The document does not conform to the PDF 1.6 standard. Done. " I wish it would be more verbose and indicate what are the pbs.
CC Thorsten in case they are aware of some pdf validator, better than verapdf.
