Responses in PDF form are not visible

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed and have produced a form which can be filled in by third parties.
I have received a return in which the all of the responses are not visible unless I click in the field

Most likely, the fault lies with the application used to fill in the forms,
which is probably Apple Preview, that is known to cause this problem. You
can fix the forms with this utility:

And in the future instruct your users not to use Preview, but only Adobe
Reader (or Adobe Acrobat).

PDF form data not visible when opened in Illustrator CS5

I've been searching the forums but have been unable to find an answer to my specific problem.
I've created a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The PDF form fields are then populated with data via Netsuite. When I open the PDF (with data) in Acrobat all of the information shows up, however when I open the PDF in Illustrator CS5 the field data is not visible. Is there a way to force the data to be visible when opened in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

International Characters in PDF Forms are not shown correctly (Adobe Reader 11.0.06)

I have a PDF form served from a web application and shown in Internet Explorer and want to put in string values with norwegian letter like 'ÅRE ØRE ÆRE'.
These are not shwon correctly when I toggle "Highlight Existing Fields" and the focus is not on the text field in question.
I am runing on Windows 7.

I cannot reproduce this using a test form I created: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e6b390e1-625c-4f59-86c5-c2ca07998279
Does the same thing happen with the form above? If not, can you share your form with us: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

All lines on PDF form are not printing

Greetings to all. I am running Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.0 on Windows 7 Home 64bit OS. I have made an attempt to print a PDF form. All of the lines in the form will not print. The properties of the document are: PDF Producer: MAC OS X 10.7.4 Quartz PDFContext and PDF Version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x). My printer is HP PSC 2350 series. There are about 30 lines on the form and out of the 30, 4 lines will not print. This form was not created by me. I saved the PDF from my university's website. Also and strangely, when I go to my printer settings and select Booklet, under Page Sizing & Handling, everything prints perfectly. I did try editing the lines by increasing the stroke width under Content and Editing but all of the lines still will not print. Here is a screenshot of the form from the website. My question is what settings on my printer or adobe acrobat do I need to change? Or what could be the cause of this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to respond if more information is needed.

Responses for Imported Form are not showing in Forms Central but in Tracker?

I imported pdf fillable form. Added Submit button to lower right. Changed Form State to Open in Distribute tab. Then Saved Submission Enabled PDF. I then Downloaded the PDF to my computer. I went to the PDF saved on my computer and Distributed the form using the Distribute command on Forms menu. Responses are showing in Tracker but not on Forms Central. Anyone know why?

Don't do this step: "I went to the PDF saved on my computer and Distributed the form using the Distribute command on Forms menu. "
That broke the file. That Acrobat distribute feature pre-dates FormsCentral and will break our workflow.
You can distribute the form anyway you want - you do not need to use Acrobat. Just send an email or post to the web yourself.

PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
Please give suggestions.

I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()

Re-publish site using 3rd party FTP Client-Changes are not visible

I uploaded my Iweb site to the server using FileZilla. When I make changes in I-web and republish, the changes are not visible. I even tested it out by deleting the site folder and re-uploading everything after I re-published the site in IWeb...but the change still isn't visible. Any suggestions as to why?

Apparently you publish to a folder.
iWeb's job is done!
What you do next with the files is your responsibility.
Try uploading the changed files to their respective folders on the server.
You can identify the changed files by the date/time.
Then in the browser, clear the cache and reload the page.
iWeb is not involved.

Retro entires in HR Forms are not printed when using device type ZHPP3005

Hi All,
We are doing a HCM implementation. We are using HP P3005n printer and ZHPP3005 device type to print our HR forms. We are using ZCalibri font.These are smartforms. Everything was printing perfectly.
Then there were retro calculations made to these forms.Strangely, the forms doesn't display these retro entries in the print preview using ZHPP3005 device type. Only the retro entries throughout the form are not printing. All other entries get printed.
When we use device type HPLJIIID, we get these retro entries printed in our form however the format of the form gets changed.
Now, we want to use device type ZHPP3005 and get these retro entries printed. How would we achieve this? Is this a device type issue? Or, anything needs to be done in the smartform? Why is this issue?
Please help. Quick response will be appreciated. We are nearing our Go Live date and needs this resolved immediately.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Check the assigned page format to your custom device type. Try to assign all the page format which are available for
HP*** which you gives you desired result.
