Title

Navigating through disabled form fields in Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9 may invoke a script linked to the field.Products affected

Issue

For accessibility reasons, Adobe Acrobat 9.0and Adobe Reader 9.0 allow tabbing through read-only fields.In some cases, thismay generatea warning message.

Reason

The warning message may appear if there is an event written on the read-only field. This event will be executed when the user navigates to the field.

This problem did not exist in Reader 7.x because tabbing through the disabled fields was not permitted, and any events written on these fields were ignored.

Solution

Set the fields as Protected instead of read-only or instruct the users to ignore the message.
