While I do like some of the new features, there are some components I use all the time I wish we could be control. I like what they've done with the new feature when creating a table , however I wish I can have the option to turn off the guides. It was a lot easier in the previous version to highlight multiple rows where as now I have to hold the control button down and select my rows. It was also easier to adjust the table with being able to adjust the table from either the top or bottom. Today it's done from the bottom. Lastly, I'm excited they finally added bullets, however I hate the fact they automatically indent 5 spaces on the bullets which also cannot be adjusted. We'll see if they update that in the future.

Generally, I would use the tooltip to provide supporting information. However in one form I create an "Information" zone, which was populated with text when the user brought the mouse over a field. This just used the mouseEnter and mouseExit events. It worked well and the client was happy with the approach. If you want to use a question mark icon, then on the click or mouseEnter you could change the presence of the supporting information beneath the field (text object or subform) to visible. This would work best in a flowed layout. As an alternative you could have the field and the supporting information in a western flowed subform and reduce the width of the field and show the information. On mouseExit restore the width of the field and hide the supporting information. Because there aren't any transitions, it is going to appear clunky and not as polished as a Flash/Flex solution. However if you want to maintain support for Acrobat/Reader version 9, then I think it is the only option. I hope that helps, Niall Hi Tarek,

I have a Dynamic LiveCycle PDF Form, which has many Fields each has complex meaning. It require 3-4 lines of text to clarify the meaning of such fields, and I want to find a nice way to provide the user with more information about such field by, say, clicking on a "?" button or something similar. See this post for more details: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4314323#4314323 Appreciate your help. What is the simplest way to add a nice flash pop box for normal fields in Adobe LiveCycle Form?
