Hi, I've tried to get Acrobat Reader 5.05 on both Linux and Mac OS X to fill out forms. Both by using version 5 of the FDF toolkit (using Perl) and also by embedding JavaScript into my PDF document and submitting data through GET/URL. I also tried hardcoding an .FDF-file, to no avail. 

The forms fill out fine on Windows and Mac OS 9, but not on Linux and Mac OS X. There are no problems editing the forms on Linux/Mac OS X manually though. 

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround/patch/new version available? 

David
