Hello,
When I open a pdf created in Indesign in my browser window i get a pop up window with the warning:
Cannot save form InfromationPlease Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer.
If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it in and print it.

when i close this window the purple bar with the same information remains higlighted on the pdf until it is clicked off.

this is extremely annoying. the pdf is not a form so why am i getting this warning.
how can i turn it off.

many thanks in advance, Fergus

Are you sure there are no form fields in the PDF?

That includes buttons, drop down boxes, item list, check boxes, radio buttons, etc.

Apparently Reader thinks there is at least one form field field within the PDF. Without seeing the PDF and using Acrobat Professional to look for form fields, it is pretty hard to provide more information.
