Indesign Field form rotation

I want to have a 10 deg rotation on a field form on a interactive PDF.

I apply the rotation to the field in Indesign; once exported it erase it to 0.

 

How can I prevent that.

Thanks in advance,

 

Félix

Acrobat and PDFs in general, only allow 90 degree rotation (0, 90, 180, 270) for form fields. You will have to rethink your design.

    That sound very strange. I can't accept this as a response. Indesign allow you ro rotate form field without warning you at all that it can't be exported.

    If InDesign popped up a dialog box stating 90 degree rotation (which it should), it would not change the answer.

     

    When you find an answer you can accept, please post it here for others to see.
