Form fields SECURITY set up in v5 causes BIG PROBS in v6
Using Acrobat v5, I set the security to; "No Adding or Changing Form Fields," to prevent users from messing around. I use Form Felds and javascripts for navigation on a CD-ROM.
Sadly, I just published thousands of CD-ROMs with this setting.
Now with Reader version 6 users can NOT click the Form Fields for navigation. Well ... they can click them -- BUT THE LINKS DON'T WORK AT ALL ! ! !
That is correct.
Acrobat/Reader 6 now fully respects the security settings that you have applied ot your documents, where Acrobat 5 was lax in that regard.
Since a form element can have a JavaScript associated with that could potentially "add or change form fields", and you specifically restricted that feature of the PDFs when security them - any object that can run a JS must be disabled as well.
Although it does indeed cause problems like what you've experienced, it is the correct behavior and I would not expect a fix.
NOTE: this issues has been well known and discussed on this forum (and elsewhere) since June when Adobe first released the 6.0 version.
