This problem is new since LibreOffice 7.1.8.1, where things worked just fine. To reproduce: 1. Create a radio button group in a Writer document. 2. Set a button's 'Data' tab 'Reference value (on)' to '5'. 3. Export As PDF (with 'Create PDF Form' ticked). 4. Open the resulting PDF in Acrobat. 5. Right-click the radio button, select 'Properties'. 6. Click the 'Options' tab. 7. Note that the 'Radio Button Choice' field is set to '0'. It should be '5'. If the identical steps are taken in Writer 7.1.8.1, the value is exported properly. I also tested 7.4.6 and it exhibited the problem too.
This is on Win10 21H2.
Have tried this with OpenSUSE 15.4 and different LO-Versions: Created a *.odt-document with a group field and three radio buttons. Set the value for each button. Set a default value. Saved and exported to *.pdf. Done with LO 7.5.2.2 and also with LO 7.0.5.2. Opened the *.pdf with Okular (pdf viewer under KDE in Linux). Chosen an entry of the radio buttons. Both forms will save the right entry. Extracted the data with pdftk and both forms will show also the same value - not '0'. Might be a pecial Windows/Acrobat-problem. I couldn't test this here.

Created attachment 186900 [details] Source document created with Writer 7.1.8.1 on Win10
Created attachment 186901 [details] PDF exported from Write 7.1.8.1
Created attachment 186902 [details] PDF exported from Writer 7.5.2.2
I created a new document in Write 7.1.8.1 with 2 radio buttons in a group, reference values on 1 & 5, off 0. I exported a pdf. I opened the same source document in Write 7.5.2.2 and exported another pdf. In Acrobat, same results: 7.1.8.1 version has correct values but 7.5.2.2 has zeros. I used pdftk dump_data_fields on both pdfs and did spot a difference. 7.1.8.1 output: FieldStateOption: 1 FieldStateOption: 5 FieldStateOption: Off 7.5.2.2 output: FieldStateOption: 0 FieldStateOption: 1 FieldStateOption: 5 I have attached all 3 files.
Bibisected the change seen with pdftk with linux-64-7.3 to 50fd91de9babf7c043759f13d8064ce5c22f307d tdf#143612: map SecondaryRefValue in form pdf export
Hi Steve, is the issue also reproducible if the document is created with LibreOffice 7.5 or is it only reproducible for documents created with any version older than 7.2 ?
Hi Xisco Yes it is reproducible with latest stable build. That's how I discovered it. I knew earlier versions had worked so I went back and checked. The issue seems to be with the export rather than the source file.
