Have just tested your PDF in Acrobat Reader 7 + 5 Acrobat 7 works perfectly. Acrobat 5 behaves weired, text field contents are disappearing after hitting Tab. When i open the pdf with an hex editor and wipe out the (required) DA tag of the textfield it works as expected ???? |

Dwain, don't feel cheated:) Judging by your related email, you're tied to Acrobat 5 (full version) solely due to it's capability of saving forms with form data. If yes, there is possibly a cure for you, namely Cabaret Stage 2.1 (commercial, free for personal usage). It's a Java application which allows to save PDF forms with included data. It's finally usable with Scribus forms after some initial teething problems, but thanks to fschmid and the cabaret guys they are over now, as far as I can tell. And surprise, your PDF form adg_receipt.pdf works very well with Cabaret, meaning I was able to fill and save it with data in Cabaret, and reopen it with data in Acrobat Reader 7.08. I'd suggest, just give it a go: http://www.cabaret-solutions.com/en/products/stage/download Just in case: if cabaret suits your taste and you encounter any troubles with Scribus pdf forms, just report them to their bug tracker: http://www.cabaret-solutions.com/bugtracker/login_page.php -- the cabaret devs are highly responsive and removed 2 scribus forms's related bugs I'd reported to them very quickly. Don't forget to drop them a line they should go GPL:) |
