<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Dear all,</span>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">
attached is a revised version
of the prototype RID form. This should work with recent versions of Acrobat
Reader. Hopefully the instructions in the form will be self explanatory.
I'd be grateful if you could spent a few minutes "playing" with
the form and let me know if you find any issues or have any comments.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">You will notice
that when you delete a RID, it is replaced by a page stating "RID
Deleted"., this is because when you insert a form page the fields
on it are named based on the page number, however if you delete a page
the existing fields on the pages after the deleted page are not renamed.
The document however now contains 1 page less and so if you then insert
a new RID you end up with duplicate filed names which has interesting consequences.
As far as I can tell (bearing in mind I am by no means an Adobe/Java Script
whizzkid) there is no straightforward way to work round this, hence the
approach of just entering a page stating "RID Deleted.". This
keeps the page count the same so there are no duplicate field names.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">The issue with
merging files of RIDs into one using Adobe Acrobat or similar tools is
essentially the same - it leads to duplicate field names.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Anyway any feedback
gratefully received, especially for non-Windows platforms as I've only
tested on my Windows 10 laptop using Acrobat Reader 2017.</span>
<br>
<br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Cheers for now,</span>
<br>
