Could you re-test with 1.3.3.10svn, please?

In 1.3.3.10svn tooltips exports correctly, BUT javascript still loses non ASCII characters (replaced with "?").
Another problem in 1.3.3.10svn: "Field names" are not exported correctly. Their original names replaced by something like "annot_obj_31", "annot_obj_32", and so on.

The object naming problem is now fixed. Could you upload a sample doc showing the issue with javascript?

Attached file "saskaitos_Sablonas.sla.gz". Look at field "SumaZodziais". After entering numbers in fields "Kiekis_0" and "VntKaina_0" there should be text with Baltic letters.

And there appears to be strange decision to not allow dots in field names. But for that I'll try to reopen "bug" 0004218.

Thanks. The reason why dots are not allowed in field names is imo perfectly explained by issue 4218 : according to Implementation Note 115 "Beginning in Acrobat 3.0, partial field names cannot contain a period" (PDF 1.6 pg. 1023).
