I have made a form that is bound to a single XML file, where a subform can appear multiple times when there are multiple bound data elements.
This works very well in LiveCycle's preview---the subform indeed appears multiple times with each data element appearing in an instance of the subform.
The end users, of course, have Adobe Reader. And when I try to load the same form in Reader, there seems to be no data binding to the XML file, and I cannot find a way to establish it. What am I doing wrong?
Reader can write manually entered data into an XML file. This means that it must be able to re-read that file, in case the user wants to correct something or add more data later. But I have not found how to do it. What am I overlooking?
I've tested with Adobe Reader 8.13. Could that be the reason? Do I need version 9? I'm hesitant to install 9, because I need to test with 8, and that is already awkward with Acrobat and LiveCycle also on the same computer.
