Survey in Adobe 8 Pro being done in Reader 7

I am using Adobe 8 Pro to create a survey and a lot of the people taking the survey have Adobe Reader 7.0.9. I have found some formatting errors with reader and want to know how to fix them. The main problem is that I have some buttons with multiple lines of text on them and in Adobe reader it cuts off the text and just shows up as one line. I have used a button because I need a tool tip and I don't think it works on a text box(I don't really know why you wouldn't want to allow for tool tip capabilities on a text box). So I either need to get the button formatted correctly in reader 7.0.9 or be able to put a tool tip on a text box. Thanks in advance.

Try installing a JavaScript when the PDF is opened that checks the users version of Adobe Reader. Set the script for version 8.0. The alert dialog box should inform the user to download and install the latest version of Reader.

Contact me if you need the script at [url=mailto:pdfdesign [at] msn [dot] com.]pdfdesign [at] msn [dot] com.[/url] Put "Survey script for 8.0" in the subject of your email.
