OK, additional news/breakthrough! (And a sheepish apology for not providing full details--I didn't think that the following mattered.)
OK, so this checklist is intended to be viewed on a tablet, so the page layout is 7.5 x 5.5 (i.e., "Custom"). Apparently, "Custom" leads FM to decide that I'm in landscape orientation. BUT, if I don't check the "Auto-rotate Pages" option in Distiller (PDF Settings) then it actually ends up "portrait" (narrowest edge top; i.e., rotated 90° CCW). So I'm NOT in "landscape" according to FM, actually; I'm in CW-rotated portrait with my text all CCW-rotated to read right-to-left. Yeah, that's the ticket... SURELY that's what I meant with that page size! *rollseyes* If I auto-form the unrotated ("portrait"; CCW-rotated) output, no fields are recognized. SO... Somewhere between my Custom 7.5 x 5.5 being perceived as pseudo-landscape by FM and Distiller auto-rotate and Acrobat thinking the page is re-rotated... it's confused. (More so than I am, apparently! A relief!) I discovered this when I randomly changed a checkbox to use checks instead of squares, and the check mark was rotated 90° CW. So now, my question has evolved to: --- How and where do I establish that 7.5 x 5.5 is what I want, the top is the top, and nothing should be "rotated" per se, as it all is oriented the way I want. Acrobat form wizard should scan right-to-left, then top-down. --- SOMEWHERE in that application/processing chain, Adobe products decide that I didn't *really* mean that the top of my page is actually the top, due to this page size; and so *surely* I meant rotated landscape pages with counter-rotated text so it can be read. ... Save as PDF has same problem. ... And if I make the Page Size US Letter... it STILL mis-pairs Yes/Yes and No/No... and yet the check mark is oriented correctly!?! So the form wizard actually has conceded that, yes, this page is portrait orientation... but it still scans and pairs top-down, left-to-right. *sigh* Am I screwed? Is this just plain a bug in the form wizard and I'm going to have to manually recreate all the mis-pairing (which, in production, could be scores)? _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
