LifeCycle Designer - malfunction after Reader Extended PDF

Dear all

please see the attached Files (XML as the original how it is direct from LifeCycle Designer – and reader.pdf as it is after saving the PDF as a Reader Extended PDF).

As you see, the items that can be added and Removed (Products with dropdown lists and textboxes), are shown 5 times after saving with the extensions. but initially it should be shown only once.
Also when manually removing the 4 other "products" and save as new filled in file, the boxes appear again when reopening.

WHY? i cant figure it out and like to avoid to build the entire form again.

TIA
Andrea

Hi there,

 

Simply make sure to name each items differently, Adobe has an issue where he thinks a different object with the same name is a different instance and will create the number of instances that he finds with the same name.

The first image is how you named all objects:

 

 

This second image is how I renamed all objects, then Acrobat Reader didn't duplicated the issue.

 

 

Hope this will help.
