It was my impression that they (Adobe tech support) monitored this list. Is this a bad assumption? -----Original Message----- From: James Plante [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 8:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF-Forms] Can't duplicate signature fields. PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ More info on this: If you've created more than one signature field <of the same name> in, say, Acrobat 5, you'd be well advised to remove or rename the duplicates before trying to work with them in Acro 6. Acrobat 6 Pro went through several "unexpected quit" sessions before I gave up and removed ALL the signature fields, and did a "Save As..." under a different file name. Gonna replace them with whatever Acro 6 expects. (Removing just one duplicate signature created a quit on save, as did removing fewer than ALL signatures. Had to remove them all to get the doc to save.) Does anybody know if Adobe is even interested in bug reports? If so, where does one report them? All I've seen on the website is the testimonials and promo stuff.
