When printing form using Adobe Acrobat X, I get squares over my italic text

Hi,
I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and just printed it to check whether this works and the following occured:
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe reader everything looked great
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe prof X (not XI !) the italic text had some (non filled, seethrough) squares throughout it. The squares are not constant (5-15 squares per sentence) and I cannot recognize a pattern. However, they appear each time I print the entire document.
- When printing only one page of the document (that has italic text on it) it prints fine with either the free adobe reader or adobe pro X.
Font is Verdana,Italic. Size is 8,27 pt. Data is sometimes embedded (I did not use this feature and have no idea what is means). I always use Windows. Right now windows 7 to be exact.
One more thing: as you can see above the file was created using adobe XI. However, my company uses adobe pro X and therefore the document had to be printable using adobe pro X.
Can someone please help me? I have put a lot of time in the design of this form and not being able to print it correctly is a real dealbreaker for using it which would mean my efforts were wasted.
I added an example to clearify:
Best,
Linda

This is all I can find in KB:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Windows_
I downloaded MS hotfix and the issue still persists.
We have to identify if this is an adobe issue or a microsoft issue.

Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
3. If it's a browser
(a) what is the browser
(b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

How to delete checkbox in pdf form using adobe acrobat professional 6.

I am trying to modify a pdf form having a single layer. There are some checkboxes which i want to delete. I am using Adobe acrobat 6 professional. USing Advanced Editing tools -> Touchup Object Tool , i have try to delete the checkbox, it deletes all fields and tables in the form and there is only text left on the form. Any help would be appreciated. . Thanks@

You do not use the "Object Tool" to edit forms. There should be a "Form" menu option and under this option you will have the opton "Edit form in Acrobat". This is the way one should edit/create a form in Acrobat.

How come I cannot use the Editing tools when i am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC It wants me to Buy Now. But when I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC i have no problem using the Editing tool yet I had Adoboe Acrobat XI Pro then it was upgraded to this DC stuff

I am already paying a subscription for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Now it want me to buy when using the edit tool or even the tool to insert pages Never had that problem before??????????????

Acrobat Reader can't edit PDF files. Use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

Radio Buttons & Check Boxes Replaced w/ Rectangles, when printing Form w/ Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03)

Hello. I need to be able to print a .pdf copy of a completed web page form. The form is completed by entering data into text boxes and text areas, and selecting various radio buttons and check boxes. When the form is complete, it is saved, which converts the form into a .pdf file.
When I open the saved .pdf file, it looks completely normal. I will then select the print button, which is built into the display window for the form. The printed form will appear, but the radio buttons and check boxes will have been replaced with the outline of rectangles.
This is what the source form looks like, before printing:
This is what the printed image looks like, after printing. NOTE: All check boxes and radio buttons (and the data that they contained) are gone:
I am not sure if this is a setting that needs to be changed in Adobe REader XI, or something else.
Please let me know what you think it might be.
Thanks,
Rick

Michael,
It is a web/html form.
The forms are built and used inside of a software program called WebEOC.
WebEOC is used to allow for sharing information between different
emergency response entities (like a State, and the counties within the
State).
The form I am working with was built with a web page editing program. The
form uses html, xhtml, xml, CSS and javascript.
A for user would launch the WebEOC form (after logging into WebEOC), and
they would fill out the form. Text goes into text boxes and text areas,
dropdown menu selections are made, and some information is entered using
radio buttons and check boxes.
When the form is complete, it is saved within the WebEOC database, as a
.pdf file.
You can then open the .pdf file in order to see the form, in it's
completed state, as a pdf.
When I try to pint this pdf file of the completed form, the check boxes
and radio buttons are replaced with rectangles. Any selections made in
the radio buttons or checkboxes is lost.
Thanks,
Rick

I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!
I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
Some other ideas?
Thank you though!

Help! I created a form using Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I created a form with fields, then closed it for editing. However, one of the fields is in the wrong font and I need to change it, as well as the order in which the fields are tabbed, but I cannot get Adobe to allow me to edit the form again. I've tried 'save as' numerous times. Please don't tell me I have to create the form from scratch again!

Thanks. Not sure why that sometimes works and at other times not. In X Pro it is really cumbersome - was far easier in Adobe Acrobat 8.

Y-axis label when printing CNiGraph using PS comes out as black square

Hi,
when printing CNiGraphs on a printer using PostScript the Y-axis lables come out as black squares (picture attached). On screen everything looks fine and they print nicely when using PCL.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this happens or what might cause it?
I'm using Measurement Studio 8.0, .NET 2003., MFC/C++.
Thank you,
Mikael Setterberg

Hi Mikael,
I'm not sure why your PostScript file would be printing this way. In order to further assist you, I am going to need more information.
Does the y-axis label contain any special characters that may not be interpreted correctly by PostScript or your printer?
Is there anything different from when you print the graph using PCL as compared to when you print using PostScript?
Is your graph the correct size? In other words, is it shrinking when you print it, causing the y-axis label to be overwritten?
Have you tried saving the PostScript file to your computer and viewing it with a program such as Adobe Acrobat or GhostScript (you can check out Printing and Viewing PostScript Files from Windows and DOS for more information on GhostScript)?
Finally, have you tried printing other PostScript files (ones that look correct, including graphs with y axis labels) on your printer?
The answer to these questions should help us solve the problem, or at least point us in the correct direction.

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms myself, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Advange of using Adobe Acrobat over Microsoft word 2007 PDF add -in

Hi,
I would like to know what is the advantage of using Adobe Acrobat 9 standard or professional over Microsoft Word 2007 PDF addin. Microsoft will ship the PDF convertor with SP2 later this month, in that case what should be the use of using adobe acrobat to convert a document to PDF and not use microsoft word built in features.
This is just a doubt which arouse and thought if I could ask here, thought to control some adobe acrobat licenses being used in our environment.

I have found that some of the links and other items just to not work well with the add-in from MS. However, with OFFICE 2007, it appears that MS has put some hooks in the system to screw up Acrobat. Typical pages that are produced with Acrobat get cut into sections (a graphic will be chopped into multiple graphics and pasted together). I say this is OFFICE only from the perspective that we have tried it with OFFICE 2007 and both AA7 and AA8 and gotten the same result. When we used the same file in OFFICE 2003 with AA7, the PDF was fine. So when you complain about the PDFs created by OFFICE 2007 and Acrobat, you may be seeing something that is a result of OFFICE, not Acrobat. Generally they still look good, it is only in some detail where you will see problems.
A major advantage we found with Acrobat is that it did not have issues with messing up the links that the MS add-in had. You can try some of this yourself, but that is a summary of our conclusions. Bill

In using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional I have added oval shapes to a form, but they do not print. How do I get all shapes to print?

I am using a Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional as the Operating System.

File > Page Setup = Scale
The Scale control is what controls the size of what is printed to paper. 100% is usually the best setting.
