Cant Print Fillable Form
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0. I emailed a form to a customer, he filled it out and emailed it back. When i open the pdf it show his filled in information but when I print it only prints the form and not the information. Please help. Thanks. Doug in NJ
If Mac users use Adobe Reader, it will not be a problem. The problem is the Preview application.
Since you have Acrobat, you can get the field values to be displayed by exporting the form data to a data file and then imporintg it back into the form, so you don't have to bother with the script presented in that article. I'm not sure of the exact menu items in Acrobat 8, but in Acrobat 9 it's:
Forms > Manage Form Data > Export Data
Export to an FDF file, and then:
Forms > Manage Forms Data > Import Data
and select the file you just exported. The form data should now be visible and printable.

Adobe 8 will not print fillable forms
Using Gutsy, I go to my site where I have to fill out a PDF form. I can fill the form no problem but when I try to print, the document goes to the queue then it stops. Nothing else happens, it just sits there. My printer is an Epson Stylus cx3810. Funny thing is, it worked fine in Fiesty and with Adobe 7.9. I don't know what has changed. I see there is a bug report on this but I don't think there is enough people out there with this problem to warrant a fix. I don't even know if it is an Adobe problem...maybe it's CUPS. I guess I should not have done the fresh upgrade to Gutsy
I've the same problem. acroread 8.1.1 in Gentoo Linux don't print fillable documents, but it print well other pdf documents.
'Print to file' isn't work also.
I install ghostscipt-gpl 8.61-r1, my printer is Samsung 1710P.

Error message appears before printing fillable forms.
Why am I getting this message when I want to print fillable tax forms.
"Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader

When I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader, my computer tells me it is already in your system,
but I cannot get to the End User Agreement to accept.
Can someone walk me through?

How do I get the text in a fillable form to print?
I have a unique problem in that I frequently use fillable forms downloaded from one particular site (court forms). All of the forms I can fill in and print without a problem...except for one. I can fill it out, save it, but when it prints, it prints out blank. I assume there is somet mistake with this particular form that the permissions are set to not allow the text to print, but I can't figure out how or if I can change that. Again, it's only with this one form (see link below). I have no such problem with any other fillable PDF on this or any other site.
http://www.courts.state.hi.us/docs/form/hawaii/3FP272.pdf
Thanks for any help.Report this issue to the form's authors. Since it's secured it's not easy to find out what the cause of the problem is, but more than likely they set up the fields as "visible, but doesn't print", instead of "visible".

How do I make all the text entered in a fillable form print?
I have created fillable forms for patients to fill out on our website then print and bring with them. When they print the form, all of the information they entered does not print. How can I make it all print??
Hi Dana,
Could you please let me know how were these PDF forms created.
You might also need to check in 'File> Properties> Security' tab whether 'filling of form fields' options is allowed or not.
Hope to hear from you.

Fillable Form will not print from Adobe Reader on iPad or iPhone - Works on a PC
I created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I saved it giving it full Adobe Reader capabilities. I emailed it to myself and a friend so that we could open it up on our iPad and iPhone using Adobe Reader, fill in the information and then print the document. When we send to print, it only prints the form, but not anything we entered. When I opened the document in Adobe Reader on my Dell PC, it worked fine and I could print the document including everything that I entered. What could the glitch be with iPad and iPhone. We are running the latest IOS6 version with Adobe Reader installed. Why won't this work?
It should work with the update to Reader 10.4. "Enhaned compatibility with AirPrint means improved printing of completed forms as well as documents with comments."
I don't have AirPrint on my printer to test. Is your printer AirPrint compatible?
I can get it to work with Printer Pro which I'm running on my iPad. -
I am trying to print a fillable form - - an application for a Chinese visa. It will not print and I get two error messages: "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." The latter is not true. Won't print at all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted.
Am using a MAC desktop and a Cannon PIXMA MX922 printer.
I need to print this form now that it is filled out? What can I do?Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.

Cannot view or print data in fillable form fields
I created a fillable form and users complete the form and email back to me. For some, but not all, users, when I get their form, the data in the fields is not visible unless I click on field. At first I thought they emailed me a blank form, but when I click on the field the data they entered is visible. Data doesn't print either.
Can I fix the form once they send it to me or do I need to adjust the original fillable pdf? Thanks in advance.Most likely it's due to corruption caused by the Preview application on the Mac when it saves PDF forms. For more information and something you can do about a corrupted form, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

I've created a fillable form from a Word document, but how do I save and re-use a a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form I will use for multiple medical patients, printing out the filled in form to put in paper chart (no need to save filled out form), and then fill blank form again for another patient? - I just got acrobat X
Thanks!
That should also save the blank form for future re-use, right.?
Can I also file the blank form in the file system, and then retrieve it as a blank form when I have a next patient need for it?
Thanks

Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?
I have created a 2-page form on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I emailed it to specific people and they filled it out, saved it and emailed it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Any reasons why the content of a fillable form cannot be viewed or printed?
That's what I asked the people I emailed the form to and someone just emailed me saying: "I'll check my adobe. It keeps asking me to update and I keep ignoring it so maybe it was my fault". So there is the answer I guess. I saved the document as an Extended PDF and selected Enable Additional Features. Is there anything else I should consider?

PDF printing out background placeholder text in fillable forms
I'm trying to print out a PDF which has fillable form fields. The Date of Birth text field has a faint grey placeholder text dd/mm/yyyy. Everytime those fields are filled in, the dd/mm/yyyy will also print out in the background. Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something to do with how the form was made?
Hi Daniel O'Toole,
Please help with the below listed information for further assistance on this.
1) Version of Acrobat/ Reader being used.
2) Os being used
3) Please attach a sample file to test.

Printing button in PDF fillable form.
Dear All,
I have created a PDF fillable form with a button which save & print the pdf.
The code for is as fallow:
Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.Bildfeld1::click - (JavaScript, client)
var Mailto = "[email protected]";
var Betreff = Textfeld1.rawValue;
var Nachricht = "Dies ist eine Telefonnotiz\r2.Zeile Hier";
var CC = "[email protected]";
var BCC = "[email protected]";
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + Betreff + "&Body=" + Nachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: false,
cSubmitAs: "PDF"
event.target.closeDoc(true); (FormClac)
Formular1.#pageSet[0].Seite1.DruckenSchaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
my problem now is that with this script I can print and save the file even though all required fields are not filled!! I donot anyone to have the possibility to print the file or save it unless he fill all required fileds.

Adobe fillable form in browser will not print
We access any adobe fillable form in our web browser (verses opening adobe reader first). This form cannot be saved so that way people don't accidentally over write the original. Recently, several people have not been able to print the filled out form, it just doesn't do anything after clicking print and selecting the printer. They can print from the same filled form that's been opened in adobe reader.
The only fix we can find is running a repair on adobe reader then rebooting the computer, which takes way too long, plus the problem resurfaces a few days later. We are using Adobe Reader X for sure on one of the computers, but I'm not 100% sure if that's what we have on all of them having this issue.
Any help?I have updated one computer to 10.1.13 and protected mode has been off the whole time, but it still has this issue. It would not print the PDF form from IE earlier today, but when I took a look at it, it had no issue. It was strange how it resolved itself, but it should work while the customer is needed something printed.
There was a second computer with the exact same issue, this time with Adobe Reader X 10.1.7, that also resolved itself once I looked at it. -
