Enabling Reader Extended features corrupts dynamic form

[Sam_Birbeck]

I have a very frustrating issue with a form I'm creating. It's a dynamic form that has the ability to add instances and optional sections: https://www.dropbox.com/s/df65vuilji72z5y/expense_form_test.pdf

I want people to be able to email me a PDF copy of their filled-out form as well as print a hard copy to be submitted with receipts etc. I understand this means I need to open the form in Acrobat and save a reader extended version (Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable additional features). However, doing so corrupts the form so that when the document is opened, instead of showing only one instance of the first repeatable object, three are shown, and the numbering is also corrupted: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gnwr43egyqcj0r/expense_form_test_extended.pdf

I'm at a loss. As you can see the structure of the form is relatively complicated and I haven't been using LC Designer long so it's driving me nuts getting to the final hurdle and having a problem with something that seems like it should be so simple..

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Uhh, a difficult problem.

I believe its because of your nested tables and a few unnamed objects.

I did some changes to the TravelTable to make the form more compact.

I also removed the embedded fonts, as this is unnessesary as long you use default fonts like Arial.

Here's reworked your form (Reader enabled).

Thank you so much radzmar! I think you've solved my problem. You're right about the structure of the tables, your version makes a lot more sense. And I got a little lazy after a while, not naming all the objects.

I can't believe how much smaller the file is now   I should have known better than to embed Arial, haha.

Like I say, I haven't been using LC for very long, this has been a real learning experience for me. I would have been totally lost without lurking these forums.
