I recently purchased Pro 8. When I try to preview the Designer Form in PDF, I can not test any of the functions on the form. Is this by design or a bug?

Hi --

Which types of form are you previewing? If you use a form template or design a form including fields for user entered data, the fields are active in the PDF Preview mode.

On the other hand, if you are using a form that displays calculated fields, or contains fields that are Read Only, you can't activate the field and enter your own data.
