I created a interactive from using Acrobat 9 Pro. Using Reader 7, the form is accesible to users with in the company thorugh an external vendors web portal. My current test cycle is long because I don't interact directly with the vendor so the form is passed through a couple touch points before its made available on their site.

There is a cache issue when the form is accessed through a browser window by the user and completed more than once because its storing field values. Thanks to the direction from this forum I can address the cache issue. However I need to be able to test the forms functionality in a browser window in the same way the users see it. Is there a easy method to set up the form so I can access it from a server to test it before making available to the vendor.

Thanks.

You can use a document level script to turnoff the auto cache and auto complete preferences for the form.

Adobe has posted some documents about securing forms on public computers and accessed by Reader that goes over a number of security issues and how to address them.

You may not have to access it from a server. If you just want to test it in a browser, simply start your browser and open the PDF (File > Open...)
