Online Adobe Interactive Form must be changed before SAVE works properly

Question

HI guys,
We are using Adobe Reader X.
We arr launching an ABAP Web Dynpro application that has an Adobe Interactive Form linked to it.
Our Adobe Form has many "subforms"  and we determine what you see based off your Web Dynpro choices
The problem we are having is the display of the Adobe Form will change perfectly, but if you SAVE a copy to your PC using the Adobe buttons, what gets saved to your PC doesn't match what you see on the screen.
However, if you change any data on the Adobe Form and then SAVE, the version on your PC now matches what you see on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Antony,
At the 1st intance, you have data completly, and on change event you are making the subforms visibility dyanmically.
Fine now once the form is saved locally, and then its opened, the Abobe reader doesn't know the visibility status.
So here again on form ready check the repective field value which treggers its visibility and set its presence.
For example: if the form is like flowing to different users in a workflow, to maintain its earlier status this is how I do it.
which mean I will have a same validation and script for both form ready & change events.
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers,
Sai
