How do you make all the form fields empty when the user begin enter data in adobe reader? I used adobe 8 professional acroform to create the form, and I created a reset button. But when I click on the reset button the fields are still populated with data from previous entries. Thanks for your help.

One of two things could be going wrong. First, the reset button may not be setup the way you want. Look at the properties for the reset action. Make sure that all the fields are included.

Second, reset doesn't clear the field, it places the field's default value in to the current field value. Make sure the defaults values are set appropiatly.
