Marjolein04 Sep 7, 2012 11:24 AM (in response to Larry G. Schneider)Thanks for your quick reply! I did see this already, but the thing is that it shouldn't be a form in the 1st place.
But... I think I just found the solution, if I remove my 'previous' & 'next' button from the master and just copy them onto the pages themselves, the pdf is no longer a form. No idea why but it works. Copy-paste it is...!

3. Re: Create interactive pdf - using buttons but pdf should not be a form
Jeffrey_Smith Sep 7, 2012 12:00 PM (in response to Marjolein04)1 person found this helpfulThis is a known issue: having a certain number of interactive elements in a PDF, and Acrobat intreprets PDF as a form, displaying form bar. There are a number of workarounds, the one I use is to add security to the PDF. This will prevent form bar from appearing as well as protect (to some degree) the assets of the file.

4. Re: Create interactive pdf - using buttons but pdf should not be a form
buglegirl101 Mar 22, 2013 12:20 PM (in response to Marjolein04)Evidentally, there is still a huge problem for a known issue, but I'm hoping some of the great guru's out there will have a simple temporary fix.
I could live with the pink/purple 'form' bar, but when I upload my interactive pdf to share on acrobat.com workspace, it says "DOWNLOAD TO FILL OUT FORM".
I don't want anyone to have to download my file--I want to share it in the workspace.
Like Marjolein04, I did not create a form and nothing in the file is 'fillable!'
I tried deleting the next/last buttons from the master, but still get the awful form bar.
Any suggestions? I don't want to invite someone to my acrobat workspace and password protect the file (the other suggestion) --which, by the way, seems to make the interactive elements not interactive.
Thanks!

buglegirl101 Mar 22, 2013 12:45 PM (in response to Larry G. Schneider)Sorry, Larry,
Since my problem also includes opening the file inside the acrobat workspace, I may have to create a swf movie of my document! I am ever hopeful that Adobe will fix this problem...it is a very annoying problem!
Thanks,
