Preview breaks pdf with data entry cells?

Question

Hi,
Here's the gist of the trouble:
I created a simple invoice in acrobat with data entry cells for the user to enter hours worked, description of work, etc. It works fine in acrobat.
If I open it in Preview two things seem to happen:
1. closing the document saves it without me being prompted
2. the data entry cells are mucked up - data is in the cells but can't be seen unless I click on the cell. If I click away from that cell the data dissappears behind a blue highlight of the cell (the same blue highlight I see in Preview). I am able to 'bring the data back' by selecting the data, cmd-x, click to another cell, click back to original cell, cmd-v. It don't make no darned sense I tell ya!
So, why is Preview saving my data without asking me? What's going on there?
Why is Preview breaking the data entry cells?
Any ideas?
Cheers, Mike

This is the work around that I got from the Apple iWork Team; they are working on solving the problem:
"Unfortunately, Numbers can enter a bad state. We are investigating a fix. In the meantime:
To avoid this bad state, please do not exit Numbers with a file open. Always:
1. Tap the "My Spreadsheets" button to close the file.
2. Then exit Numbers."
So far, following this procedure, I have encountered no problems. If Numbers is in this "bad state," you can return it to a normal condition by either double tapping the spreadsheet name which will put you into edit mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Also, you can tap the arrow in the upper right corner to enter read mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Hope this helps.
