Leonard,
I would disagree that this is "correct" behavior. It's probably what Adobe intended, but it isn't what I'd expect. When I tell Acrobat not to allow any changes, normal use of language implies that I don't want the "end user" to make any changes. If I put a JS in the doc, then I want the document to do certain things in response to user inputs. I don't want anybody changing that behavior, including Adobe.
Although Acrobat 6 is a great improvement over 5 IMO, Adobe still has some work to do. They need to address the security issues a little more robustly. We need flexibilty, and we need security. So some additional security levels appear to be appropriate. I'm still miffed that they don't allow multiple signature fields of the same name, so that you can sign on multiple pages with a single click. So okay, some doc's should have that level of protection; but it isn't needed for all docs. Same thing could be said of the problem presented in the posts below. Sometimes it's needed, but most of the time a lesser degree of security is desirable. The Federal Reserve uses some serious architecture to protect the enormous amount of money they hold. But I'll bet that somewhere on the premises is a little tin box holding the office petty cash. BOTH levels of security are needed.
And, since Adobe's gotta crank up the IDE to fix that confounded tab-order problem anyway... :-)
James, I totally agree with you.
