I created a PDF form for a client, and they are having a weird problem where some of the text fields do not have the flashing cursor. I tested this PDF on our Macintosh computers, and did not encounter this problem.

Our client is most likely opening this file with Adobe Reader 9 on a PC. I created this form using Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 on a Mac, activating the "Enable Users Rights..." so they can save the file.

Should any of that make a difference with this glitch?

Thx!

It very well could be a bug in Acrobat. Rights cand do wierd things to a PDF, especially across different versions of Reader. You should report this to Adobe.
