Title: Re: [PDF-Forms] Security Problem from v5 to v6.
Form fields SECURITY set up in v5 causes BIG PROBS in v6
Using Acrobat v5, I set the security to; "No Adding or Changing Form Fields," to prevent users from messing around. I use Form Felds and _javascript_s for navigation on a CD-ROM.
Yep, I'd discovered this problem last week, on a CD-Rom published 2 month ago...
Really nice bug ! Our customers are very happy...

BTW, generally, security settings from version 5 often have a curious behaviour in version 6 (see the Security panel if you want to be convinced).
Hep, Mr Adobe, we're crying out for the next bug-fix updater !!!

JRB. Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks.
I sent a fax to Adobe "attn: Acrobat Product Manager" weeks ago. Haven't heard a peep! I also posted my complaint at their forum and got the following reply from one of the moderators:
Why are you surprised that Form elements don't work when you restrict the form elements from being changed? Acrobat 6 is doing exactly what you told it to. There's nothing there to fix.
