Disappearing text in pdf form

Hello,
we have an application using pdf forms. The reader 9..1.0 reads some data and forms are filled out.
there are 3 pages datas an 10 pages for entering text. Each page contains automatically name and birth date of a patient, on the 10 pages the result of treatment is documented.
Now, sometimes, after opening the text again and changing the text ( e.g. the patient goes home after a week and something has to be entered) the saved text is gone, instead the old text is there though it was said "save". Also some pages are missing ( of the old text )
Furthermore, today I saw that there is a lot of text at the end of the form. Means, there are 10 pages text, let´s say 6 are filled, all have name and date filled out by our program but enough space to write on page 7. There is a button "reorganize text" and after that there is a message saying that the text is too large for the 10 pages and that the text is hidden. Indeed, all the text on page 7,8,9 and 10 is doubled from the beginning. when I tried to delete some text, there is again text and text and coming into the form and after an hour I could´n delete all the text which is "behind" the real text.
my first thought was that somebody didn´t insert a text block for lets say 30 lines but copied the whole text several times. But the people working there are much experienced.
So does anybode has a good inea? I know this is rather complicated but because these text are report of medical treament is is important that nothing is lost and that the text is okay. BTW it worked all the years starting with approval 5.0 over adobe 8 and now 9.
thanks Joachim

Export the form data from Menu > View > Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Manage Form Data and save (it will save as a pdf). Then import the form data again from the saved file.

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.
Here's a potential fix: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

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

Disappearing Text in PDF

Hello,
Thanks ahead of time for reading this, and for your help.
I am in the process of filling out a very important (and, um, large) pdf issued by the IRS, and a very strange thing continues to happen.
After I type text into fields (or check boxes), save the pdf, and then open it up again, the fields look blank. When I select the field in which I had previously typed, the text becomes visible once again. When I move the cursor into another field, however, the newly-visible text (which had been invisible) becomes invisible again. The text in the new field then becomes visible.
I've been all over the web trying to find an answer to this problem, and although "disappearing text" seems to be an issue, I've been unable to find an answer.
Thanks very much for your help.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9.3.3

Not necessarily a bug, but something different between how Adobe and Preview (and other OS X apps like Mail) handle displaying pdfs (I've noticed a few of these differences, actually).
Most likely the problem in your case is with layering (for example, many tiff image viewers do not support the layered tiff format that photoshop can create). You could try flattening the image before you save.
How did you create the pdf? Save As in CS3? If so, you could try the Print command and then save as a pdf from the button on the bottom, which would use OS X's pdf engine instead of Adobe's.

Inputting Chinese text into PDF form fields

Hi there,
I'm trying to input Chinese text into an interactive PDF and although the properties for the form fields are set to Hiragino Sans GB, when inputting the text is appearing in English. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Staff have been migrated from Windows XP and now have Windows 7 on their PCs. They all now have new versions of Adobe Reader
(version 11.0.06). In some cases they now cannot insert or update variable data in fields in PDF forms. They are not using online PDFs -
they are using PDFs on their PCs.

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?

Invisible text in PDF form

I've seen this twice now over the last couple of months under Acrobat Pro 9.3.2.
I've created forms for folks attending an event to complete. They download these forms from a web site, complete them, and click a button I've built into the form to e-mail it to us. They are all downloaded from the same location so everyone is getting the same file.
I've received back about thirty so far this year and all but 2 are fine. Those two are the issue. When opened, regardless if opened directly from the e-mail or if saved locally first, they appear blank. Only when placing the cursor in a field will the text in that field become visible. As soon as the cursor is moved, either by mouse or tab key, the text will again disappear and the text in the field the cursor lands on will become visible.
The form is also blank when printed.
I have searched these forums and found only one other case where this was happening, about a year ago under Version 8. However, the issue there is not the case here. as that had to do with field backgrounds. None of my forms have field backgrounds set. And the fact that 28 out of 30 forms are functioning properly, and the fact that I've been using this form for a few years now, pretty much limits the possibility that it is a systemic issue with the form itself.
Anyone have any idea what might be causing this??

There have been a few posts in the recent past about this.
Typically the answer turns out to be that they are using a third party PDF reader to fill in the forms (like Mac Preview...etc.)
There hasn't been any solutions that I've seen short of putting a notice near the link stating they must use Adobe Reader.

Blurred Text in PDF Form

Created a form by converting a pre-existing PDF to a form-fillable one using Acrobat Pro.
The form-fillable PDF was created fine.
In editing the form, I changed the text fields to allow multiple lines of text.
Saved the form as a new PDF filename
When filling out the form using Reader, most fields allow for text wrapping to multiple lines.
At the bottom of the form, several fields allow text entry, but then blur the text both when filling the fields, when printing, and after saving under a new file name.
Ideas, suggestions, etc.?

Now that I said that, I should revise it to "...it most likely would have happened when you edited the field..." as I recall working on a form sent to me by someone else who had added field using the Form Wizard, and there were duplicated fields, so I suppose it is possible that Acrobat automatically added them.

Disappearing text in .pdf attachment

I created a .pdf using Photoshop CS3. The original image is a .jpg to which I have added text.
The background to this is I want to send a (relatively) secure letter with company logo.
I attached it to a Mail message.
Mail (v2.1.1) automatically shows me the image (as it does with all graphic files) but the text that I put on it had disappeared.
I then sent it (to myself) The text was still missing.
I then saved it to my desktop and opened it with Adobe reader (v8.1.0). The text re-appeared.
I then opened the the file using Preview (v3.0.9) the text was gone again!
I think this a bug. Can I do anything about this?

Not necessarily a bug, but something different between how Adobe and Preview (and other OS X apps like Mail) handle displaying pdfs (I've noticed a few of these differences, actually).
Most likely the problem in your case is with layering (for example, many tiff image viewers do not support the layered tiff format that photoshop can create). You could try flattening the image before you save.

Disappearing text in a form

I’m new to live cycle and have set up a flowable form which I seem to be having some issues with.
As each sheet of the form needs to contain the company branding, the name of the member of staff completing the form and the date, I have set it up using a master page which includes some images for the branding, a text field for the name and a date field, all the other content for the form sits on the subform page one so the text field will flow onto numerous pages if required.
When text flows onto more than one page anything that has been typed in the text field set up in on the master page disappears and has to be re-entered, all other text fields within the form are fine.
Why does this happen and how can I stop the text from disappearing?
Thanks

Did you set the binding of those masterpage fields to 'global'?
Every repeated masterpage represents a new instance with its own data window.
To have the same data in all the instances the binding needs to be global.

How to edit text on PDF form in Acrobat 8 professional

I just took a Word doc and created a form for an application. The client changed the deadline and I would like to know if I can make that change in Acrobat 8 Prof (MAC) or if I have to make the change in Word, create a PDF and completely re-do the form? Of course, it needs to be done right now.

Create a new PDF from Word. Open the old form in Acrobat and replace the pages with the pages of the new PDF.

Overflow text on PDF form

I created art in inDesign and created forms in Acrobat 9. The issue is that when people fill in the form box with too much info the additional info does not display and cannot be printed. I have been given a sample form created in LiveCycle Designer which shows overflow text on a second page.
Questions is - can I do the same function in Acrobat 9 or do I need to work with LiveCycle? That is show overflow text on another page/s. The document we are working is 24 pages long with about 24-28 questions which may have 3-7 sub questions.

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

Help with pdf form

After filling out text on pdf form how to save information filled out in the form, then how do I email the now filled out form back to sender of original form

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
