Saving/submitting form that has hidden pages

The form has 3 pages. The first is initially visible and the others are hidden but can be accessed by navigation buttons.

The problem:

When the user saves data in Reader on Pages 2 or 3 and closes the form, when they re-open it, all pages are hidden.  This is of course because they didn't save it on page 1 (which is the only visible page upon initialization). 

I do have a (clunky) solution to the problem, but am curious if there is a more efficient way of doing this.  I can have a Mouseup event that forces them to Page 1 and saves, and the returns them to their current page in an exit event.  I just have a feeling that I'm over-engineering this.  Besides, the script only works if the user uses the "Save form" Ok button.  What if they save using the functionality of Reader?

There is a similar issue about submitting the form.  I don't want to receive a completely hidden form.  Again, the solution above can be engineered into the Submit button.

How do you get around this issue? Scripting like I referred to above, or just showing the entire form after the person enters their digital signature?

Is it possible to link the Reader "Save" or "Print" function to the javascript linked to the "Save" and "Print" OK buttons on the form itself?
