Fillable Forms Are Coming Back Blank

We use a fillable PDF application form. A number of the applications that are returned to us are coming back blank. It seems in many cases these have been completed on a MAC.
Any suggestions to assist our candidates or instructions we can provide to ensure this doesn't happen?

Make sure the users do not use Apple Preview, or any other third-party PDF
viewer or plugin. They should stick with Adobe Reader for best results.

  • MY photosmart B 210 is not printing with the black ink at all. Pages are coming out blank

    Print report says ink is low in the colours but they do appear on the sheet but no black ink at all
    It is a relatively new cartridge and genuine HP ink. Stopped suddenly
    Pages from print or copy are coming out blank.
    Tried  to clean print heads and it says
    Print System Failure : Oxc19a0003
    and tells me to switch printer off and back on which I have now tried but getting the same message!
    What does this mean?

    Hi @BrendaMC,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Photosmart B210 printer is not printing black ink, and that the pages are coming out blank. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    I would suggest to go through the following guides:
    Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in....
    'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error M....

  • Adobeform Chinease Translation issue - Translated area coming as blank

    Dear Gurus,
    I have beed facing an issue while translating adobe form from English to Chinese from SE63 transaction using PDFB.
    There are two section one is Source language and another is Target language.
    Now in my case the target language is coming as blank , i.e. there is nothing I can translate , for other language its working properly.
    So now the question is how to resolve this issue ?
    Thanks
    Kuntal Biswas

    HI Kuntal,
    In Adobeform we don`t have to translate variables through SE63 tcode.Inside Adobeform only in html code you have to copy translated values in place of you variables.
    Please check I will let you know once I will get exact area inside Adobeform.

  • PDF form responses coming back uneditable

    I have created a lengthy form in InDesign (v.9.2) for a client, which I have exported to PDF then extended in Acrobat Pro (11.0.06) under File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.
    This makes the form savable (if that's a real word.) The form is sent to their clients, which they fill in, save and send back by email.
    When the form returns, my client wants to be able to edit some of the responses further (mainly checkboxes) then re-save but the Save option in file menu is greyed out. The purple bar says 'Click "Sign" to fill out and send this form etc...'.  If you try to 'Save as > PDF', it will only save a blank copy of the form.
    I assume the client's clients use Reader for the input, and the client definitely uses just Reader.
    I have suggested using an original copy and checking all the checkboxes that the client specified, but they are getting a lot of these forms back and that would be too time-consuming.
    Is there a way round this without them having to upgrade to Acrobat Pro? That would make them distinctly unhappy. Though if the community decreed that was the only option, it could be considered.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    The form that you sent is not Reader-enabled, so that would be the reason it's not savable with Reader versions prior to 11. Reader 11 is able to save non-enabled forms, so I would your clients could use it, but this doesn't help unless all of the people they distribute it to use Reader 11 as well.
    You should not provide clients with Reader-enabled forms, except for testing purposes. If they will be distributing a form for the purpose of collecting data and need Reader-enabled forms, they need to enable them with their own version of Acrobat. This is an Acrobat licensing issue.
    The Acrobat license also limits the licensee from using data from no more than 500 instances (including hardcopies) of an enabled form if the form has been made available to more than 500 recipients. A way to avoid this limitation is to use Adobe's FormsCentral service, which allows PDF forms to securely submit the form data, which is collected by a server. A team or people can have access to the data and export any response as a filled-in PDF, which can be  further edited as they want. They could instead set up their own web server to collect submissions, but this requires some expertise and more expense, particularly if security is needed. A form can also be set up to submit just the form data by email, which also avoids the licensing limitations, but since email is not secure and notoriously unreliable, it should not be considered for anything of much importance.
    Note that Acrobat Standard is sufficient for enabling the form for use with Reader.
    You should also make them aware of the Preview problem that I mentioned earlier. If they encounter a form that has been corrupted by Preview, they should export the form data and import it into the original blank form. They will need Acrobat for this.

  • Fillable Forms Are Not Readable in PDF Readers That Are Not Adobe Reader

    I have created a number of forms with the help of Adobe Acrobat. I saved the blank form as a templet of sorts. I'll fill it out, then lock it with a checkbox and javascript and then I'll save it as a different name and email it to my client as a quote, or something like that. That should be it, but if they open the PDF in a PDF reader that is NOT Adobe Reader then they will see a blank form with no form fields to fillout/click on or anything.
    I've run into this problem a number of times with people using smartphones to open and view the quote. I know that the iOS and Android systems have the ability to download Adobe Reader as an app. However Android, I'm not sure about iOS, has a program defaultly installed on the phone that can look at PDF files (I know this because I tried on my phone). When people open up the form in one of those programs I get a situation like I discribed above, but if they open the same file in Adobe Reader, be it on their phone or their computer, it works just fine.
    Why is this? Please tell me there is a way to fix it. Thank you in advance for everyones help.

    The rules of how PDF work are written down in a big (1000 page) book. However, people who create apps often leave out great big parts of the book. You can't fix this, only tell them that they must use Adobe Reader, and be prepared to help them do that. May people don't realise, for example, that viewing a PDF in Chrome or FireFox won't use Adobe Reader even if it is installed. And on iOS you cannot change the default PDF viewer, only send PDFs to Adobe Reader later.

  • So the professionals are coming up blank - Noise a...

    Here goes.
    My 1st 3 months with BT were beautifull - I was getting almost 2.0MB and life was good.
    Then something went wrong and it took 2 months of sub 1mbit service to fix but it was fixed and compensation was rewarded.
    11months of 14-16mbit service ensued and life was good. THe FUP limit was even raised to 300gb so now I never even get close to the limit, even with skyplayer and stuff on the go.
    2 months ago things started going wrong again, I gave the Mods a shout and they reset my noise profile which I duly kept an eye on and I saw it hovering between 4.2 and 4.8 db! That gave me throughput of 17500kbits!!!
    Then maybe a month ago now maybe three weeks my noise has jumped to 9db and my throughput is at 12000kbits
    Two engineer visits confirm my throughput numbers.
    THe latest engineer visit yesterday said everything is fine and its just the high noise on my line causing the problem. So another profile rest has been requested.
    My throughput has been cut by almost a third for some reason.
    Has anyone here experienced anything similar? I'd really like to know why this is happening.
    I signed up for a 3rd year with BT because I knew the rate I was getting was really good for adsl and then a few weeks after renewing this happens. I think a 30% drop in service that has been stable for over a year could be reason enough get out of my contract with BT because if I'm not getting the uber rate I'd like to be with a  different ISP. (one that doesn't throttle and traffic shape)

    Its been like that for over a year, on off on off. My connection rate stayed pretty much the same, never noticably slowing down. I'd see that my router was only online for hours rather than days and think "oh well" as it didn't effect my BB experience.
    Onetime it got stuck in a loop for an evening which appeared to confuse my HUB to the point of needing it replaced. After that my latest issue happened... I think I logged the date on here somewhere.
    When I say reset, I get flahsing orange BB and Phone lights but the other 2 lights stay blue.
    I have spent time looking at the last few digits of the throughput and that does vary a bit, 100kbits either way.
    Upload was stable at 1276kbits for a while (3 weeks or so) along with 17500kbits throughput
    Now its 1156 ish with 12467kbits thoughput.
    Without anything else to go on it appears the traffic shaping/ exchange algorithms have been tweaked or something. A signal tollerance has been reduced? I dunno its the dark art of that DSLAM thingy or what have you.
    (the sceptic in me thinks they are shaving bandwidth off ADSL customers to feed vision & infinity but that is unfounded and most probably worng)
    I'm annoyed that i signed up thinking my connection would offer me the same service it has been givving for over a year and the week I sign up for another 12months it slows down. Probably coincidence as an office block has just had new tennants so that could be increasing chatter on the wire form the exchange which could be a contributing factor as well. So could sun spots. Or some secreat theoretical high energy research lab has been built under my cabinet.
    I just want either my old service back, and explanation of what has happened to my connection and why or a free contract cancellation. I can get this speed from a different ISP for less money, if I get my old speed back then BT are offering value for money.
    As I still have functioning BB I am remaining calm, but cheated

  • All burned discs are coming up blank.

    Hi
    So I've burned some DVDs and after it is done it refuses to believe there are any files on it. The reflective side shows that difference in colour in the areas used and it takes its time burning and verifies afterwards so the files are there. I've used Disk Utilty to burn to a DVD and I've tried manually adding files to a DVD both with the same results. No problems burning or verifyng, nothing there.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hmmm, might try this Ben,
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

    Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
    Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window.  Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
    That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    Then insert the flash drive into your computer.  Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.

  • Fillable PDFs created on a PC, filled in a Mac and coming back completely blank

    I've got protected fillable pdf forms and the only edits allowed are printing or filling in form fields. These have been created in Acrobat XI pro on a PC.
    When a document is sent to a customer who happens to have a Mac, they fill in whatever is needed, save the document and send it back to us. When the documents are coming back, the only thing we can see on them is the fillable form fields. Everything else has gone - the actual base document and the accompanying pages of terms and conditions are just blank pages.
    Anyone got any ideas what's going on??
    Thanks
    Jackie

    Would the preview also make everything else on the document disappear?
    this is what we should see
    and this is what we're getting back (I've added the workds 'text field')

    Hi,
    In my BEx query, Total stock quantity values for newly created Plant is not coming.
    BW and R3 have gone live on the same date.
    (1) Did Stock initialization for existing Plant.
    (2) Filled set up table and did INIt load for the existing plants.
    (3) compress the request in BW.
    BX - with marker update
    BF - with no marker update.
    Now two more plants are created in R3 side with their opening stock values.
    Did Delta to BW.
    New Plants are loaded into BW. I can see "Receipt Qty" value in 0IC_C03 cube - 1200.And Issued qty - 000
    But When I execute Bex query, "Total Stock qty" and "Stock in Transit" (these all are non-cumulative keyfigures) are coming as blank.
    Please suggest. Quick response is much appreciated. This is Production (after Go-live issue).
    Thanks in advance.

    Some hours ago I was doing some changes in my settings and then when I lunched Photos, suddenly I saw all my photos have DISAPPEARED!!! I paniced! those photos mean a lot to me! I've recorded my best moments in this device! then after a minute I saw a word "Restoring..."
    I became happy that everything is going back to normal but I saw only some of my pictures and videos in Camera Roll are coming back WITHOUT ANY ORDER! Every Pic that was in this App, was following one of my nice memories one by one but now they're somehow all GONE! Also my handmade Albums are all gone too! I don't know what to do.

    Thanks again.

  • Re: faces message coming back side of popup

    Hi , I opened one popup with dialog in that I had one panelformlayout with some fields. if any thing if I entered wrong like precision exception, validations are getting raised but those are coming back side of popup . if I want to close the faces message first I need to close the popup and then I need to close the faces message. so how to bring faces message information to front of the popup
    Iam using Jdev 2.3

    Hi,
    Maybe you can use the code Jobinesh talks in this article:
    Decompiling ADF Binaries: Positioning popup at the center of the screen
    It has a property for Z-Index. Maybe you want to put it negative or something so your next popup validation comes on front.

  • Fillable forms come back BLANK mainly from Mac Users

    Hello,
    I created a fillable form from scratch in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended version 9.3.2, using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES version 8.2.1.  I'm on Windows XP.  When I first created the form I saved it on the company server, but, I can't remember why, I had to save it on the desktop in order to distribute it (I'm not sure if this detail is important for the issue).
    I sent the blank fillable form via email as an attachment to about 50 people (not in my organization) with the filename application_distributed.pdf.  Knowing the population that received it, I would say that the majority of them filled it out in Adobe Reader.  I asked them to fill it out, save it with a different name, and send it back to me.
    Out of the 50 forms I got back, 40 came through fine, while the other 10 came back completely blank.  6 of these 10 people used a Mac computer (some of them said they were using "Preview", a Mac version of Adobe, according to them), a couple of them used a pc, and I wasn't able to find out about the other 2.
    I sent the same form twice to a colleague who has both a pc and a Mac at home, and asked her to fill out the first one on her pc, and the 2nd one on her Mac, and to send them back to me in two separate emails.  They both came back to me filled out perfectly.
    I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what the common denominator is amongst the 10 people whose form came back blank...  At the beginning, after I discovered that the first 3 people were Mac users, I thought maybe it was an operating system incompatibility issue, but when I started getting blank forms from pc users, I got more puzzled. 
    I was on the phone with Adobe Technical Support for a couple of hours on 5/18/2010, and they asked me to submit the form to them so they could look into it since they couldn't solve the problem by phone, but so far, 3 weeks later, I have not heard back from them.
    Today I finally decided to go on this forum and ask for help.  If anybody has any idea about what the issue might be and how to solve it, I would be eternally grateful.
    Thank you! 

    That should work yes. Not to say that there isn't anything else that will cause this but it's the typical reason why it happens.
    It shouldn't cause any conflicts in a Mac. At worst, Reader may want to open PDF's by default but they can easily switch that back by highlighting a PDF, choosing File>Get Info>Open with, choosing Preview and clicking "Change all". When I installed Reader, Mac Preview remained the default Reader until I told it to use Reader.
    Mac and Windows users can get the reader at http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO. It will detect their OS and give them the correct download.
    One thing, if they decide to keep Preview as their default PDF Reader then they will have to actually open Reader and use File>Open to open PDF's in Reader.
