Why is Acrobat telling me my fields are malformed after I use ABCpdf to delete them?

If you create forms using Adobe Designer (which comes with Acrobat 7) it will make use of some new field references which were not used in version 6. If fields are deleted and the field references are left intact then Acrobat may complain that the fields are invalid. To solve the problem delete the AcroForm after deleting the fields. For example:theDoc.SetInfo theDoc.Root, “/AcroForm:Del”, “” Alternatively if you are simply setting field values then you may be able to achieve what you want by deleting the XFA elements:theDoc.SetInfo theDoc.
