Did you check the box for "Calculate on exit" in the referenced form field?

I created a proposal that uses text that needs to be repeated; however,
once
I place the ref fields in and protected the form, the ref. fields don't
automatically update with the the bookmark, it only seems to work when the
form is unprotected.
The next problem I have is after filling in the completed protected form,
I
want to create a pdf; however, when I create the pdf, all the fields I
populated go back to empty, what am I doing wrong?
