The CheckBox group is set to "Read Only" as well, but I can still check &#38; uncheck them during testing. I did notice that "Read Only" was not an option on the individual Checkboxes, just on the group.</p> <p>Is there anyway to correct this so that the user/submitter cannot edit the Mask Text Input field or the CheckBox fields?

I use a high-quality logo on my form (.PNG file). This looks ok on the design- and formscreens, but the same logo in the generated PDF is of significant reduced quality.</p> <p>2. I have a textfield and next to it an inputfield on the same line. They share the same font, same fontsize, same top-coordinates, same height-coordinates. Everything looks ok on the design- and form-screen. But, the generated PDF shows the inputfield 10 pixels lower then the textfield.</p> <p>3. I have a textfield that contains a text with spaces into HTML-code to underline it. This is corretly shown on the screen, but the generated PDF does not underline the spaces in my textfield. I replaced this line with a horizontal separator as work-around.</p> <p>4. This is a more pragmatical question. Is it possible to zoom in (and out) on a page when designing a form?</p> <p>Just to be clear, the form pages and generated PDF have exactly the same configuration ("Print - DIN 14", DPI: 72, same dimensions)</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/can-i-validateforce-digits-in-an-input-mask#post-2322 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:16:35 +0000 srogers 2322@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I have an input mask ##### that acts as the search criteria for a database lookup.
