I took a look at the source code and realized that I had misunderstood
the function of \fillinfield. Thus, \fillinfield probably works the way
it should, just not the way I expected it to work.

Sorry...

Thank you Hans,

The main reason why I didn't suspect acrobat to start with is that
everything else in the mwidget-s.pdf seem to work flawlessly. Since
\fillinfield, as far as I understand, use the same underlying mechanisms
as other kinds of fields I find it somewhat surprising that these fields
are not affected by this missing configuration.

Anyway, what is the name of the option that I have to use, I just can't
seem to find it.

Problems with \fillinfield

Hi,

PDF fields created with \fillinfield lose their filled in values as soon as they lose focus.

I have tried several different documents, including mwidget-s.pdf, with the latest Acrobat Reader on both Linux and Windows but I always get the same result.

Any others with similar problems?

Regards,
Fredrik
