Caching of pdf forms

hi all

I have the following problem with mcms 2002:

i have a pdf-form which can be filled in in the resource galery and a
posting with a link to this pdf-document. now, when I fill in the fields of
the document then close the document and then reopen the pdf by clicking on
the link again, the fields are not empty but contain the values I entered
before. the same happens if the pdf is not in the rescource galery but on the
file system. I suppose this has to do with how mcms caches postings and
documents.

how can I prevent mcms from caching pdf-forms and make sure, that when a
user opens the pdf-form he doesn't see the values filled in by a previous
user?

thanks for you help

Hi Claudio,

actually this would mean that the content is written back to the MCMS
server. This is not done.
I assume the content is stored somewhere on your client machine by Adobe
Acrobat.
Please test from a second machine. Does the content also show up here? I
don't think so.

Cheers,
Stefan.
