Hi,

I have a PDF with Acroform and having problems when I open the PDF form in Reader 6 and trying to enter Turkish text on a textfield. As I type a Turkish character that is not on ASCII set, instead of the character, a bullet is displayed on textfield. Reader is 6.02 turkish running on windows with turkish regional settings.

The form works perfectly with reader 7 or 8. Only in reader 6 this problem happens. I've looked to field properties for font, tried standard fonts such as helvetica, courier but this didn't solve the problem.

If anyone knows why this might happen, It would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Ahmet ISIK

Older versions of Acrobat only acceptted fonts distributed with Acrobat/Reader.

Thanks gkaiseril,
But could you further clarify your statement? Does it mean that one can never use international characters in acroforms in acrobat 6?
