Hi All,
 
Thanks all in advance.
 
I have some forms that we use from another company.
After we use these forms we keep on file for reference, BUT the author of the forms has put something in that on a certain date they send everyone a message saying we are no longer using this form anymore. All well and good but my form data is now lost and we have no reference, is there a way to retrieve this information???
 
Cheers

Try disabling JavaScript before opening the file and export the form data to an FDF. If what you're describing is implemented with JavaScript, it won't execute and you should be able to extract your data.
