Ok, that's good news. I just don't realy understand how to do it. Before i
had to copy the acrostuff i used the code below (selected parts) and this
isn't working with rhe new acrofields. What do i have to du to copy the
acrofields to the new pdf? Are there any examples to look at? (I havent
found any yet)
thanks again
