var map2=document.frmForecast.forecast[1];
if(map1.checked!=false || map2.checked!=false){
for(x=0;x<2; x++){
if(document.frmForecast.forecast[x].checked==true){

What happens now when you try it?

It appears that from what you are saying, you have a zip file containing a pdf that you want to download?

If that is the case...

You would need to change

window.open("maps/forecast/"+forecastname+".pdf");

to

window.open("maps/forecast/" + forecastname + ".zip");

assuming that the zip file, like the pdf file, is named the same way, matching up to the values of the radio buttons.
