addInstance not working after Reader Extend document.

[Former Community Member]

Hi All.

I have a form which uses instanceManager.addInstance(1) on a button click to ad an subform instance. When I save the form in Designer as a pdf document and then open it with Reader, the script works 100% and the subform creates a new instance everytime I click on the button.

Now when I run the form through my server which ads Reader Extentions to it and renders it back to the browser, the click on the button does nothing. All othe reader extentions works but for some reason, the addInstance does nothing. Even my submit button back to the server works.

Any idea what it could be?

Thanks.

Make sure your form is a dynamic form not a static form.

Go to File > Form Properties > Defaults tab > Server  > Ensure that "PDF Render Format" option is set to

"Dynamic XML Form" and Preview  tab> Ensure that the "Preview Adobe XML Form As:" option is set to "Dynamic XML Form"

Hope it helps!
