Acrobat crashes when I try to read forms

I created an intake form for my clients to complete on their computers and email back to me. Two have completed the forms and sent the back to me - but the text runs off the page as one long sentence rather than wrapping inside the text boxes I inserted. When I click on the + sign to expand the boxes and read the full responses, the document crashes and closes.
Acrobat XI Pro for Mac
Original document created in Word, turned into a PDF, text boxes inserted into the document, saved as a PDF, emailed to the clients.
I tested the text fields before I sent them, and they seemed to work just fine on my computer. Don't know what the problem is. Its the weekend, tech support is closed, and I need to read one of these documents by tomorrow.
Anyone know what's going on?

I figured it out. If anyone else has this problem, here's what you do:
When you first create a fillable form text box, you need to right click the box, click on PROPERTIES and select MULTI-LINE instead of SCROLL LONG TEXT. If your document has not been signed, you can go back and edit each fillable form text box so you can read the text.
Open the document
Click on TOOLS at the top of the page - this opens up a menu.
Click on FORMS, then EDIT. Now you can right-click in whichever box you need to adjust
Click on PROPERTIES, select OPTIONS
Check the box next to MULTI-LINE and uncheck SCROLL LONG TEXT
Repeat for whichever fillable text boxes need to be adjusted
Save the document
You're done
If your document has been signed, you can't alter it. You have to go into each text box, copy the text by highlighting it all, and paste it into another document so you can read it all.
Hope this helps someone.

  • Acrobat crashes when I try to print...

    Hi,
    running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 on a Mac OS 10.5.5 I can open and work with documents fine but when I hit 'print' this causes an instant crash.
    I suspect it's to do with the processing of the postscript data.
    Any ideas?

    It could be Acrobat's way of telling you its time to upgrade OR it could
    be something as simple as re-installing the printer driver. If
    re-installing the printer driver doesn't work, try to reset the printer
    subsystem. This removes all traces of every printer.

  • Acrobat crashes when I try to Create PDF from Web Page

    I'm running version 9.3.4 of Adobe Acrobat Pro, on Windows XP version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600. Recently the company I work for created a new website, and I'm supposed to capture it as a PDF every week. But since the change in site, every time I run acrobat to capture the site (5 levels down, staying on the same path), the program crashes after 30 pages. Can anyone offer any advice on what I can do to correct this?
    The site apparently uses a content management system called Wordpress. Wordpress uses many plug-ins that use jquery and javascript.

    Hi miketayber,
    We would love to help, but need to know a bit more to get to the root of the problem. Please tell us:
    What version of Acrobat are you using
    What operating system you're on
    Whether you've been able to scan previously
    What you're scanning to (do you have the latest drivers?)
    Is there an error message or number associated with the crash?
    We look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date

    acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date.
    Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix?
    I wanted to download the demo of acrobat XI but it says the previous version will be removed and deactivate the license. That sucks!

    Yes it is up to date.
    I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

  • Reports (10.1.2.0.2) developer crashes when I try to import a color palette

    I had enough with this Reports Developer tool. Did not have this problem with 6i version (have been using for years) and do not have problem with changing the color palette with Forms in the 10.1.2.0.2 version. But the :(!@#$%! reports keeps crashing when I try to change (import) a color palette. The only option available is the Export color palette, the Import is always greyed out. This report that I am trying to change the color palette was originally designed with 6i reports tool and I am porting it to iAS format. It is running on Linux. If I start a new report (from scratch) in iDS (reports tool), then I have the paper layouts uses the new canvas of the iDS. But if you try to open up an old report, it shows the old color palette and does not allow importing the proper new color palette. I had no problem with changing the color palette when porting 6i forms to 10gR2 forms. Whe the hell the reports is not working? It supposed to be the same process to import a color palette. I need to port this old reports into new iAS format and this stupid color palette stuff is holding us back.
    Any step by step instructions to import a color palette in Reports, is appreciated. Write it for dummies please - I am tired and need step by step instructions please. I never liked the Reports tool (contrary to Forms) and I hate it now.

    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

    Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    Running 10.10.3 // MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) // 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Exactly the same problem with me.
    Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
    What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

  • The pictures in several events I imported disappeared, only the event names remain. Now iPhoto crashes when I try to import new files. Any ideas?

    I imported several hundred pictures to different events. Some directly from a Canon EOS camera (large card) and some form old CD's. The import process went fine. But I noticed some events were empty after having seen them in the library. Thought it was my mistake and may have moved the pictures to other event. The last CD I was importing could not be read and iPhoto hanged. I had to force turn off the laptop and when restarted, several of the newer events were also empty and now iPhoto crashes when I try to Import to Library. Does anybody has had an experience like this? I really need to recover the pictures because I already deleted them from the camera. Help will be greatly appreciated.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • RoboHelp HTML v5 Crash when I try to open topic

    I did a minor edit on a small topic in an existing project.
    Robohelp crashed before I could save. I ended the task and reloaded
    the project into HR, and received this msg:
    The reference to the file, "C:\help projects\UW\IDI UW\Chap
    15\file:\C:\help projects\UW man.css" from the file ""C:\help
    projects\UW\IDI UW\Chap 15\syndrome.htm" contains illegal
    characters and will not be shown in the project manager.
    RH crashed again. I loaded the referenced file in Internet
    Explorer, found the funky path displayed on the error msg, modied
    it, and saved the file. When I tried to open the project in RH and
    open the topic, I didn't receive the error message again, but RH
    did crash. Ended the task w/Windows Task Manager, loaded RH and
    opened the project. I then deleted the offending topic and
    reimported it from an MS Word file. No error msg., but RH crashed
    again.
    I was able to edit another topic, save, and regenerate.
    However, now RH crashes no matter which topic I try to edit. The
    last time I worked on this project was 11/07, and everything went
    smoothly then.
    It's late Sunday evening. I'm stumped. Great issue for a
    Monday morning. Any ideas?

    I decided to try the oldest trick in the book and reboot the
    computer. That resolved the problem! Duh!
    However, I need to edit the index on the project, and RH
    crashes when I try to open the index designer. I haven't tried to
    reboot. I am opening another topic on this one. I found many issues
    with RH crashes, and maybe that will help someone else, when we
    have a resolution.

    [[Firefox 18 crashes on startup due to malware - how to fix]]

  • Firefox crashes when I try to download a file

    Hi!
    I run Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-07-08) on Arch Linux 64-bit with Gnome 3, and I'm having problem with crashes when I try to download files. This doesn't happen in the stable version of Firefox (5) which I also have installed on my computer.
    It's possible to open the download manager as long as there are no entries in the download list. But if I start a download of something - the download manager opens with an entry (the current download) and Firefox disappears. It instantaneously vanishes from both the monitor and the process list.
    I have tried to remove the downloads.sqlite file from my profile folder, but it didn't help.
    I have also tried to rename my whole profile folder to something else, and then created a new, empty profile folder with the name the first one had. When I then started Firefox, it recreated all the default content to the profile folder, so I ended up with a clean, unmodified installation. But it still crashed when I tried to download files. So it doesn't seem to be a problem with the extensions or similar.
    Suggestions?

    Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
    (A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

  • Flash CS5.5 crashes when I try to open any files. New ones as well as saved .fla's.

    Yesterday I was working in Flash cs5.5 and out of nowhere it stopped responding. So I quit and turned it back on again. Okay, it loaded fine, the screen came up, prompting me to create a new file or open one. I tried opening my old file and Flash stopped responding. Worried that it might be a corruption in my file, I opened Flash up again, this time to try and create a new file. When I clicked Actionscript 3.0, the same thing happened. It stopped responding.
    I've tried a few differnet things. From rebooting the computer to deleting the preferences even to uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to fix this. Can anyone help me out? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
    Here are my system specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Asus G73Sw Series
    i7-2630QM CPU 2.00 Ghz
    8GB ram
    64bit

    Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
    Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

  • Photoshop CS5 (under Windows 7) crashes when I try to print

    Hi,
    I am running 64-bit Photoshop CS5 Extended upgraded to current version (12.0.4).
    When I try to print, every single time, I get the following error immediately:
         > Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
              Windows is checking for a solution to the problem
    and then shortly after
         > Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
              A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
              Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Quite infuriating. My printer works fine. I can print photos to it from Lightroom no problem (which, in this occasion, I had to do - saved from PS, imported to LR, then printed... very efficient!!).
    I note there are other posts on this but they seem to be mostly Mac and also many seem to cure by upgrading to 12.0.4.
    I am a relatively light user (keen amateur not professional) so I don't use PS regularly. However this also means it is pretty much an out-of-the-box install since I don't tinker with it either. It's so long since I last used it I can't remember if I had this problem last time - I vaguely recall having had it sometimes but not others. Doesn't seem to matter whether the file I opened is a JPG or a PSD (the only two I have tried).
    Any help out there?
    Thanks

    So if we have say, 10 or so printers with 10 different drivers and every application works with every printer, including Photoshop.
    And we apply an update to Photoshop.
    And now Photoshop crashes everytime we print regardless of what printer we pick, but a previous version of Photoshop is still able to print.
    Do all the printer drivers suddenly have bugs . . . or could it possibly be the common denominator, i.e Photoshop, that has the bug?
    Everyone who is having this issue of Photoshop crashing when you try to print after a change/update.
    Try this:
    DO NOT MERELY ATTEMPT TO PRINT EXISTING FILES.
    Start a fresh document and attempt to print that.
    If you can print any file created AFTER the change/update but cannot print any files created BEFORE the change/update, this indicates that Photoshop is retaining file attributes that are not compatible with printing after the change/update.
    How can these attributes be replaced with compatible attributes? Changing the default printer as mentioned above may do the trick.
