Saving Acrobat reader-enabled form problem

[davidcornett]

Hello,

I created a fill-in form in LiveCycle that has a navigation system that shows and hides pages as necessary.

This creates a saving problem after I enabled it in Acrobate (I have not yet distributed).   If I open it in Reader and save some data on Page 1, I can open it up again with no problems and resume work.  BUT, if I open it up in Reader and navigate to Page 2 (which hides Page 1) and save/close, then when I open it up again it just shows the Master Page.   This is because Page 2 is initially hidden.  Is there a way to force Reader to start on Page 1 so the form will work properly? 

In Livecycle using a Save OK button, I can force the user to navigate back to Page 1 right before saving, but what if they use the built in Save button that Reader provides?

Anyone else have this problem?   I'll also post this in the LiveCycle forum.

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

Hi,

     This is an LiveCycle query. Could you please move it to LiveCycle Forum?

Thanks

Hi,

You could use script in the docReady event to "click" the navigation button for Page1.

For example, this JavaScript would be in the docReady event of the Page1 navigation button:

this.execEvent("click");

Hope that helpd,

Niall

Well, this turned out to be an easy fix.

Under Form Properties-Defaults-"Scripting I changed Preserve scripting changes to form when saved:" to Manually.
