Can't Type Text on pdf form

I've been trying to type text on a pdf form, something I've been able to do in the past. However, the document will no longer allow me to type in it to complete the form. What should I do to solve this problem?

Hi Joko,
I'd like to assist!
Do you happen to have the latest Reader update?
It could also be the form you are trying to fill out. Have you tried opening an old form you have had success filling out?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Kind regards, Stacy

    It's a fillable form. I have Adobe Reader version 11.0.07. I was trying to fill the form, save and email. It is a public form and here's the link to the form: http://booksamillioninc.com/public/Revised_w_Gift_Card_info_2014-Donation_Policy_Procedure _and_Request_Form.pdf

  • Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader.

    Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader nor when printed after the form has been filled. But the texts appear when one clicks inside the field. What is the solution to be able to print and view all of the texts in all of the fields that have been typed.

    More than likely caused by someone filling out the form with Mac Preview.

  • I use ibooks reading PDF documents. How can i mark text in PDFs in ibooks?

    I use the application iBook reading PDFs. How can I mark text in PDFs?

    For Tagged PDF the replace page approach ought to be avoided.
    The behavior seen when replace page is used for an existing page having annotations is not present.
    Insert of a tagged PDF into another PDF can be a problem as well. The "incoming" structure tree is always placed at the end of the existing structure tree.
    Manually remediating this can become nasty very quickly.
    Using the Touchup / Edit text tool on a 'good' tagged PDF ought to be avoided as well.
    Be well...

  • Can you type text on a PDF after exporting from ID? "Fill out a form"

    If i design a simple form in ID can I export an editable PDF to email and others can type and print it?

    BUT, Acrobat 9 is really good at recognizing what should be a form field in a well constructed ID document that you export, so it should be fairly painless.

  • How can I type on a PDF file? Do I need a specific version of Adobe to enter a text box?

    I would rather type my information onto the page rather than hand write it and I don't have access to a type writer. How can I type my info onto the application?? Please help!

    With Adobe Reader XI, you can add text comments and notes, as well as adding new text boxes using the Comment pane shown below:
    However, if you actually need to edit text, you'll need to purchase Acrobat XI from Adobe.

  • I can not type into an FDF form

    I am running OS X 10.9.5 with Adobe Reader 11.0.09.  I am now unable to type into any FDF forms that I was able to type into prior to updating the OS X and Adobe Reader.  I typically have to have only the Adober Reader opening in 32-bit mode with a preference change in the documents section of changing the drop down box for viewing documents in PDF/A mode to never.  Any suggestions? 

    Hi slptech4,
    An FDF file is a special file created by exporting form field data from either Acrobat or Reader or it is created with the proper formatting.
    If the FDF includes the path to the source form PDF, then either Reader or Acrobat can open the FDF and fill-in the form fields in the source PDF file if the user's system can access the source pdf file by the link within the FDF file. Some PDF files do not include this link or the source PDF is not accessible by the user.
    FDF (Forms Data Format) cannot be opened with Adobe Reader because it is data file that needs to be imported to a PDF with corresponding fields or you can use a text editor to open it and read its data.
    If the users have Adobe Reader XI and you have created the form with Acrobat, not with LiveCycle Designer, they could fill the form, save it filled and send the PDF to other e-mails. If you have Acrobat X Pro you can Reader Extend it first before distributing it.

  • Can Acrobat Pro 9 create pdf forms that are readable by older versions of Reader?

    I have just downloaded the Trial of Acrobat Pro 9, and my client now tells me they only have Acrobat 5, and can't open the pdf form I've made in 9.  My form uses text fields and checkboxes, tooltips but no validation or calculation.  Does anyone know if it is possible to save this form in a way that is backwards compatible with Acrobat 5?
    Failing this, does anyone know what version of Pro I need in order to add fields and still allow v5 to open the files?
    thanks!

    I did not read your original post carefully. As far as saving a form that is readable in AA5, AA5 should be able to read an AA9 form as long as you did not use any of the new fancy things in it. In the meantime, simply save the form using either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize with the compatibility set to AA5 or AR5. That process will strip any special issues from the PDF I think. At least that is my assumption. I create PDFs that are AA5 compatible all the time by simply having the properties of the Adobe PDF printer set to AR5 compatibility. As far as the form feature, that is really just a matter of being sure you use features that are AA5 compatible as I have suggested and saving, possibly using one of the two options I have mentioned. In most cases, AR5 will be able to read it even if you do not save in that process, but do not get fancy in the structure.

  • Edit Text in PDF Forms

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help me.
    I have a PDF Form which I created in LiveCycle, I was hoping to use this form as a template form, so all I had to do was to use the Touch Up Tool in Adobe Professional, and change the address.
    The problem occurs when I change the address, as soon as I hit return to add a new line, all the layout on that page goes all over the place instead of where it is actually meant to be!!
    Does anyone know how I can put a line in, without the formatting going wrong?
    Also, to make life easier, if I could change the text in Livecycle, that would be brilliant, the only problem being it doesn't look like there is an option for me to select the text and touch it up like there is in Professional.
    Can anyone help me please? I really don't want to have to create a new form for every company we have listed, I'll be here until 2012 just doing that!!
    Thank for your help in advance.

    That's interesting, I never thought about using that sort of approach, I will definately look in to that further, I have since found the fault in the file, it appears that for me to take a line out, I have to put a space at the beginning of the text in order to remove the rest of the text. Which is really annoying!
    After the text was removed and the pdf saved, I went in to Livecycle and added a new field that way so that I could save individual files.
    What you have taught me though will prove extremely helpful, I will start having a look at doing this in place of what I already have, but unfortunately I can't experiment with it right now, if I need any more advice on this, is there a way fro me to get hold of you outside the forums?
