I'm a newbie and need a lot of help on this one... I am running Live Cycle and Acrobat Reader 7.0.
What I want: A simple dynamic interactive form that will initially be pre-populated by an XFDF file that the user can edit before printing.
What I have: A simple dynamic interactive form (with some text boxes and a vertically expanding description text box). The form currently contains absolutely no Javascript or FormCalc. An XFDF file that will populate the form (kinda).
The problem:
If I open just the form up in Reader 7.0, everything works great... text field expands and everything. If I double-click on my XFDF file, the PDF file opens, but no data is seen.... until you click in a field and then only that data field's value will be displayed. If you click outside of the field, the text disappears again. This happens for ALL of the fields.
Do I need to add some sort of script? Is this a bug in Reader? Am I missing some simple setting inside Designer?
I have been searching for 2 weeks for an answer and I haven't found anything related... any help is greatly appreciated.
