Hi,
I'm evaluating Foxit Reader 2.2. We use PDF forms extensively and I'm having problems with all four of the versions we use.

Using a PDF 1.6 Dynamic or Static and a PDF 1.7 Static form results in a dialog box telling me that "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." but the form still seems to work.

Using a PDF 1.7 Dynamic results in the dialog box and the only thing displayed is "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer..."

Is a version of Foxit that can read PDF 1.7 dynamic forms (and not popup a dialog on the other form types) in the works? We'd love a toolkit and reader that can support this without having to sell our soul to Adobe.

Thanks for any info.

Hello,

Reader doesn't support PDF 1.7 dynamic forms currently.
But it will be done very soon.
Please keep an eye on the future released.
Thanks much.
