[blindlaw] PDF Forms and JFW

Mon Feb 26 10:51:58 CST 2007

I have experienced the same problem that he notes.  However, I do not
recall having this problem since I installed Adobe 8.  It may just be
that the problem is rare enough so that it has not come up yet since I
installed Adobe 8, or maybe it is limited to Adobe 7.

Are you at the latest version of the Acrobat Reader?  This sounds very
unusual and may be connected to how the document was prepared.  Is this
a document that could be viewed by other people?
