A few questions: Which version of FormFlow are you upgrading from? Why are you importing a PDF (which is not the native format of any of versions of FormFlow)? Why not load the XFTs (if you're upgrading from FF9.x) or the FRP (if you're upgrading from Delrina's FF)? The native format of Form Designer 5.0 is the same as FormFlow 9x: XFT. Importing a PDF actually converts it to XFT and then when you export to PDF it converts it back. All this converting from one format to another tends to introduce fidelity loss as you've discovered. This is the reason that PDF utilizes the Designer's import/export mechanism instead of the open/save. It's to try and give the user some hint that there's going to be some data loss.

PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Hi, list I take it from everyone's silence that nobody's using Adobe Forms Designer 5 out there... :( I've been tasked with testing this software to replace FormFlow - our current artwork software. I've only had a few hours to play with it so far but I must say I'm not impressed. The design environment isn't too bad, but the PDF end product is a beast I do not recognize. I imported a large PDF form (500k) with all sorts of JavaScripts and formatting into Forms Designer. I then changed a single value (I think I added a help text to a field) and exported the document as a PDF. The file ended up being 1.5Mb in size and was utterly destroyed (static text moved around and altered, form fields all got renamed, graphical elements such as background colors were changed, JavaScripts where stripped, etc. etc. etc.) Should anybody have any experience in this software or knows where I can find out more information, please let me know.
