Radio button selections are rendered differently than in other documents.

It might be important to note that if the user saves some radio button selections in Adobe Reader, those will be properly shown in Adobe, but not in Firefox.

The radio sizes are set in pdf and their width is 8px which is a bit small.
It seems that there are some inconsistencies between the rendering of radio buttons at different sizes:

<input type="radio" style="width:6px; height:6px" checked/>
<input type="radio" style="width:8px; height:8px" checked/>
<input type="radio" style="width:10px; height:10px" checked/>
<input type="radio" style="width:12px; height:12px" checked/>

shows different rendering (it's more consistent in chrome).

I confirm that something is wrong when saving the form.
The exclGroup for the first buttons is named (YesNoGroup) and the path in datasets seems to be correct.
So it's likely a binding issue.

In fact the two checkboxes for the question 1 have a <bind match="none"> which explicitly means that their values don't match with something in the datasets. So it's typically a form which needs to be printed and cannot be saved.
