Given that I don't know how you produced this PDF in the first place, I can't really comment specifically.
What I see is Acrobat/Reader drawing the pre-defined appearance (/AP/ N) when the file is open. I guess this is what you think is incorrect. If so, whatever program created it did so with wrong information/values. When you click in the field, Acrobat/Reader takes your settings and re-renders. I guess this is what you think is correct, since it's the values you specified. Leonard On Apr 28, 2008, at 11:41 AM, johniText wrote: > > Hi Leonard, > > Thanks for your help.
