Dynamic PDF not working in Reader as in Acrobat pro

Participant ,

Hi there,

 

I am doing the attached form. The plus and minus buttons add new fields to the form. If you check the 32 Day Notice Deposit checkbox a new block of the form will appear underneath the new appearing form fields. If has set the Javascript to reposition these elements as the user clicks the add/minus button. This works fine in Acrobat pro but in Reader the text of the bottom block stops moving and stays where it is. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You probably have a script that is not allowed in Reader.  In Reader, press Ctrl + k to open the preferences, then under the JavaScript category, select "Show console on errors".  Then try again and see if the console appears with errors.

- There are errors in your code that would prevent the file from working correctly in either application. Click some buttons and then check the JS Console.

- When adding multiple account lines the rest of the page's contents isn't pushed down so the fields overlap and it looks bad.
