Just before teach of my form elements there something like 1 0 0 -1 162.73999 710.22999 cm and this is causing the problem. The -1 should be 1. However this places the test above the box in which it is supposed to appear, ie Acrobat's PS converter seems to have intelligently been able to reposition the upside-down text. > The interesting thing is that I do not do anything special, just normal > xforms and fields. Rather strange eh? I have no doubt in my mind that this is an Acrobat bug, given that a) it looks fine in PDF and b) every version of reader I try seems to do something different (either printing upside-down text, not printing anything or plain not letting me type into the fields!). The question is, is it a bug that can be worked around? I haven't tried this in windows yet. Will try to today (Windows machines here are much scarcer than Unix boxes). - Matt -- Dr. Matthew Baker matthew.baker@gmd.de GMD - FIT.MMK http://fit.gmd.de/hci/pages/matthew.baker.html
