However, in that case I would expect the growth to occur only once, but in some additional experiments I see that once the tab character has been added, each time the form is edited it grows by a megabyte or so. In the past, I've had a PDF grow to a whopping 500MB because I compulsively save the form after every sentence I write. Here's how to reproduce the ever-growing PDF: 1. Open the PDF that is attached to this issue. 2. Select "Show Forms". 3. Add a tab character in the input box to the right of "In welk land heeft u kosten gemaakt?". 4. Add a tab character in the input box to the right of "Wat is er gebeurd en welke medische zorg kreeg u?". 5. Save the PDF file (using Ctrl+S), and check the file size. It should have grown by a few MBs. 6. Select the input box to the right of "In welk land heeft u kosten gemaakt?". 7. Add "aaa" after the tab character. 8. Save the PDF file (using Ctrl+S), and check the file size. It should have grown by a MB or so. 9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 indefinitely. Interestingly, this bug requires the tab to have been added to two input boxes. If it's done to only one, the file doesn't keep growing in size. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
