Cannot print fill form areas in adobe pro (xp)??

Hello All
I have nevebeen able to take a form, insert a a form field, and get the dang thing to print. I go to button properties, insert my text and choose "hidden but prntable" ........but I still get a grey box with no text field when I print.
I know this is basic adobe 101.........but I would sure like to know how to do this simple task.
Cheers-

Hi Gregg,
Let's start from a known position. I've attached a document that is in the PDF version 1.5 format (Acrobat 6). It contains a text field and I've left the text "Hello world" in place. You could change this text or leave it as is, but what I want to know is, does the text typed into the field print for you (it does for me)?
Also, I've attached a screen hot of the Print dialog from Acrobat 6. If you notice down on the lower left of the dialog there is a drop-down list labeled "Print What". The default setting is "Document", so if you want to print the text under the form fields you need to change this to "Document and comments". However, in either case, the text typed into the text form field should print.
Please let me know what you get and we'll go from there.
Steve

It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
1. The OS you are working on.
2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

Point 1: try turning on "Show large images" in your preferences. In Acrobat for Windows, it's under the Page Display preferences. I'm not sure about OS X.

hi FalconMom,
EWS stands for Embedded Web Server. You will be able to access the printer EWS if it is connected to the same network as your PC or notebook. Here are the instructions to connect to EWS.
Open the embedded Web server
You can access the embedded Web server via either the network or Wi-Fi Direct.
To open the embedded Web server via network
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address. The IP address for the
printer can be found by pressing the Wireless icon or by printing a network configuration page.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the printer. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser:
http://192.168.0.12.
To open the embedded Web server using Wi-Fi Direct
From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch (Settings).
If the display shows that Wi-Fi Direct is Off, touch Wi-Fi Direct and then switch it on.
From your wireless computer, turn wireless on, search for and connect to the Wi-Fi Direct name,
for example: DIRECT-**- HP Officejet-5740 (where ** are the unique characters to identify your
printer). Enter the Wi-Fi Direct password when prompted.
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the following address: http://192.168.223.1.

Cannot save, cannot print PDF form in Adobe Reader 9

I downloaded a PDF form for an application from the internet. It opened in Adobe Reader 9, where I was able to fill out information in the PDF. Some areas required a scroll bar for long lists of information. Now, I cannot save the PDF or else all of my information disappears!! I cannot print the PDF, because all of the information is not immediately visible, due to scroll bars. It only prints what is immediately visible.
I need help - I cannot save, print, or exit out of this form that I have filled out multiple times at this point from attempts to Save.

What means "cannot"; what happens when you try?

Nothing was changed,now i cannot print any forms ;says adobe already installed?? novice level

I cannot get my forms to print now, says Adobe is already installed, I did nothing different, been using the computer for a year no issues, any ideas?

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?
What exactly means "cannot"?
Can you post a screenshot of that message?

Print filled form details

Hi
I'm running Acrobat XI Pro in Windows 7 Pro. I downloaded a fillable form and filled it in and saved it. The saved form reloads with the filled data. Problem is I cannot get the form to print WITH the filled data, it always prints blank.
Have tried Google, the Acrobat Manual etc. Nothing works.
Issue came up some time ago and person having trouble found some fix related to viewing screen settings or similar. But I cannot find anything like that.
Probably a simple setting issue but I can't find it so appreciate any help.
Thanks

I should have thought of that. The page link is under the bold heading Applying for free weekend travel:
Free weekend travel - Public Transport Victoria
And the link to the form itself is:

By the way, thanks for your interest in this

Form issues in Adobe Pro for Macs

Can someone tell me how to solve an issue regarding Adobe Pro 9 for Macs? I have developed forms in Adobe Pro 9 but they can not be viewed in Adobe but can be viewed in Preview. How can this issue be corrected?

This is interesting, because I've had the same thing happen to forms I've created. In a most recent example, the form was filled out by an external person (someone outside our agency) and returned. When I opened the file, on my Mac, i could see the data entered into the fields. When a co-worker opened the file, on a PC, she didn't see anything and mistakenly thought the form was blank. However you could click into the field and then see that data had indeed been entered into each field.
I opened the file to see if there was something wrong with the appearance properties -- making sure that text color was not blank, and also making sure that I hadn't selected an obscure font. The text color was black and the font was Helvetica. On a whim I changed the font to Times and all of a sudden the data in each field was viewable. However, i changed it back to Helvetica and it remained viewable. So, the act of changing the font made the data fields display; it didn't matter what font I chose. I just had to change it.
When I looked up file properties, i did notice that the PDF Producer is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext, and so does that mean it was opened and fields filled in using Preview?

No Form Fields Detected - Adobe Pro X

Hi all,
Having a very frustrating time today and probably missing something simple. I have created a new PDF Form and also edited a previous Form that I have used. However, when uploading them into our software (proprietary), we get the error "No Form Fields Detected". However, the previously edited document (the same but from previous installation of the same software - Adobe X Pro) works fine. They are the same!
Am I missing something here? I get the option to Edit in Designer in my tools menu. Checked and double checked all the fields are correct as before, no change but the two forms behave differently. On the two versions of the previous Form, I have gone through Properties etc step by step and both Forms are identical.
It might be that I have never done this step myself before but if I create a new form from scratch in Designer, is there a step I must do to make the Form Fields be acknowledged as Form Fields?
Thanks in advance.
ps. tutorials I have seen have an Edit function in the Tools menu which they use to Detect Form Fields but I only have "Edit in Designer".
David

Thanks for your reply. Finally solved it last night. Simple in the end but took ages to find it (and much hair pulling).
My Forms were saved as Dynamic XML. So I saved them as Static XML then reapplied Reader Extended features and it all worked fine.
Appreciate you looking.
Kind regards
David

Cannot print document - No pages selected - Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 8.1 machine driving a Brother DCP-7055 printer via a network-linked Windows 7 machine to print 16-page document in Booklet format. This worked well yesterday, but this morning, with no changes to the system, so far as I am aware, I get Cannot print document - no pages selected on both the W8.1 and W7 machines. Same result trying to print ANY pdf from either machine. The same pdfs print OK using alternative pdf software (Nitropdf) but I need the booklet format option. Any solutions? Any suggestions.

That 'Protected Mode' causes so many troubles (hangs, crashes, limited functionality, ...) that I have been recommending to disable it for a long time in this forum. I don't know if Adobe is aware of the problem; maybe someone should report it officially: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
I personally have never experienced the problem; I have Protected Mode enabled on all my systems. But there are so many reports in this forum every week that it's clear that something is wrong with it.

After clean install cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro

I recently had to do a clean install on my desktop computer. Is there some way I can print to pdf with my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, which was working fine prior to the clean install. I am aware Adobe no longer supports this version, but isn’t this program able to function without being updated? Want to print pdf files from websites and Microsoft office. Am running Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

Hi jadbe,
Windows 7 is not a tested platform for Acrobat 8.

Cannot print a large PDF on Adobe Reader xi

Working in Adobe XI reader, have a large file saved to my hard drive, when I send to printer, it says cannot print, have re-downloaded the printer drivers, still get the error.

What is your operating system? What is your Reader XI version? Does it really just say "cannot print"?

[FormsCentral] Is there any way to allow respondents print filled form before submitting

hi I want my respondents to print form (which they have already filled) before they submit the form.
Is there any way to do that?
Thank you.

If people are filling up the PDF version of your form they can print (and save) from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader before (or after) they submit.
If people are filling up the online (web) version of your form then there is no way to print the whole form beside printing each pages manually from your browser's print functionality.

Cannot save filled forms with Acrobat Reader

I have installed on my Windows XP, Acrobat Reader 9.5. I get a pdf file from Internet that has in it some forms that I must fill in and send back to pdf creator. The problem is that when I open this file, I have posted a message on the upper left side: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records." But of course, I must be able to save this file with filled data in form. Is that possible? Can you explain me what happens? I'm a newbie to this topic (in fact I'm a linux user. I'm trying to solve some of my sister issues).
Thanks in advance!

Prior to Reader 11, Reader was unable to save a filled-in form unless the document was Reader-enabled. This is something that the creator of the form does with either Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If your document is not Reader-enabled, you will see the message that you're getting. Unfortunately, Reader 11 is not available for Linux.

Printing fill patterns with Acrobat 8 pro & reader

When I export a freehand 8 or 11 drawing with colored fill
patterns to pdf using export or distiller, it looks correct in
Acrobat 8 professional and reader, but it doesn't print the fill
patterns in color. They come out black & white. I don't wan to
use a PS printer since most of the people I sned the pdfs to don't
have postscript. This didn't happen with earlier versions of
Acrobat. Any ideas to fix this problem?

It would either be Acrobat or Reader, not Acrobat Reader (that went about after AA 5). Reader XI can be run with AA 8, but you may periodically have to tell it which to open a PDF with. Using both can mix up the OS as to which it should use. That is the main problem I am aware of. If you meant Acrobat XI, then there may be an issue with the print drivers. You may have to play some file name changes and such for Acrobat 8 before you install Acrobat XI if that is the case, but the name changes may cause other issues based on how you are using the software. If it is AA XI, I would check to be sure that this version is not compatible with your CAD before trying the 2 version route.
