When you set a field 'Read only', that field is no longer accessible to users... it behaves like part of the page's contents. So what do you do with a multi-line text field where the text can easily exceed the borders of the field. You can no longer use the scroll bar. Our nasty little workaround has been to not set the read-only flag, but to eat all the key presses to give read-only-ish behavior without locking out the scroll bars. Thiks workaround has caused several problems. "Set all the fields to read only. Except the multi-line text fields... leave them alone and shake a dead chicken at them instead, and incant the magic words." Yuck. Can anyone think of an alternate workaround? We're building these fields in Cos, so anything that's legal PDF is fair game. I've submitted this as a bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for their next .X (or .0) release which may or may not contain a fix, even if they acknowledge this as a bug (and they may not). --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typdef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard; To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html
