I have a four page form developed in Designer. The last two pages are not visible unless a box is checked. If the last two pages are needed however, there are mandatory fields that must be filled out. It is my understanding that making the last two pages "inactive" as opposed to invisible will disable any calculations, including mandatory fields.
When someone attempts to fill out this form (using Reader x), and they do not check the box (so the last two pages stay inactive) and then hit the submit button to email the form in .pdf format, they get an error message that the mandatory fields have not been filled in. I do not get this message when I fill out the form in Acrobat 9.
I am having a hard time finding any help on the inactive presence. Hope you can shed some light on this. Thanks.
