Paul: Thanks for the rapid response. I am using Acrobat Pro 9 (I don't see where I specify the version of Reader Extension other than choosing Reader 7 and above). This is a one page government form where part 1 is completed by the employee and part 2 is completed by the employer. I used Reader Extensions so the employee using only Acroboat Reader could save the form after completing it and email the form (and data) back to the employer. Then the employer opens the form in Reader, completes part 2, prints and saves it for archival purposes.
While there is only one page, there are a lot of complex edit checks. I have several field level edits and then one large edit program triggered by a button.
I optimized the scanned form prior to writing my scripts. I was midway through writing the scripts when I started unit testing and applied Reader Extensions. I didn't notice the file size exploding right away. Does Reader Extension typically increase file size more than tenfold?
