Form Fields Will Not Overlay PDF

When I attempt to create fillable form fields on an exisiting pdf (which was converted from excel) it pulls up in LiveCycle Designer with the original pdf on page 1, and a second page of what appears to be a pretty accurate layout of fillable forms.  However, I cannot get these fields moved to page 1 no matter what I do.  Please help.  I am not sure if this is a setting or a problem with my adobe or what.
Thankyou.

Sill no response from Adobe - going to be going on a week with no response here shortly.
An update to the issue.  I went ahead and downloaded some forms from IRS.gov and the issue persists no matter what version of reader we use.  It is looking like we have a bug with Reader that conflicts with specific software.  I am currently compiling a list of PC's that this form does and does not work on and we'll see what common threads I can find.
@Nikhil.Gupta, I have done what you suggest on all affected and non-infected PC's with identical results.  I have also tried reader 9.5 with the same results.

    I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box.  Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

    Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

  • How do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow

    how do i expand a field in a line with 3 other fields when forms design will not allow it? I also want to shrink one of the fields and cannot do so.

    It is possible that all there is not enough room on your line to grow the field. You can try a few things :
    - Make the form width wider by dragging the right edge of the form or via the Form Setup dialog (File > Form Setup... and change the Form Width)
    - You can make other field on the row narrower (if they are not already at their minimum width).
    Each field type has a minimum width. What field type are you trying to make smaller?
    For example : Text and Multiline can go down to a width of 30. Dropdown min width depends on the length of the long item in the dropdown list.
    Hope this helps

  • The filling of form fields is not supported

    I created a fillable pdf with the 30 day trial and am trying to load onto our Wordpress website. I am receiving this message when I attempt to open the file and test, "This pdf contains fields. The filling of form fields is not supported." Help.

    Your PDF is in web space. That means that to access it you have to use a browser. Today many browsers have a built-in PDF reader that is, well, less than adequate.
    Some resources that may help.

  • My text fields will not expand

    I have a suggestion form that i created in adobe livecycle. The text fields will not expand when there is more text than what fits in the box. A scroll bar comes up when there is more text than what can fit,  but this will not do. I have the 'expand to fit' checked and allow multiple lines. Any help?

    Hi,
    Have a look at this example of the process for making fields dynamic: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.
    A couple of pointers:
    The form will need to be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.
    You should group objects that don't need to be flowed into a Positioned subform(s), as step 3 will move things around.
    The page will need to be set to Flowed in the Object > Subform palette.
    That should get you most of the way there.

  • Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

    I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade.  The fix is simple so read on.  After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped.  I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was.  For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
    Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader.  My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers.  I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers.  You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer.  That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed.  I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well.  The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense.  I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers.  That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
    ****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser.  If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open.  You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer.  The windows update prevents you from doing it.  At least that is my understanding. 
    The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser.  The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista.  A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista.  I hope this helps some avoid some headaches.  I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose. 
    I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

    Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader.  With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
    My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system.  For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version. 
    If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top.  However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web.  Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser.  At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
    Thanks

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Safari will not open PDF

    It use to work fine, but lately, Safari will not open PDF files from certain sites. It is OK when a site downloads a pdf to open it. It downloads it and Preview then opens it. But for other sites such as my bank web site, it opens the pdf within Safari and I just get a blank page.
    It use to work, any idea how I can fix that?

    Your problem isn't solved, you just added to it. Safari is perfectly capable of displaying PDF files without using any third-party applications or plugins, but you just installed one. Acrobat Reader is bloatware and totally unnecessary, so if you want to use Safari's built-in capability, do this:
    1. Quit Safari if it's running.
    2. Launch Acrobat Reader and go to Preferences > Internet and uncheck the box for the section at the top labeled "Display PDFs in browser using:".
    3. Go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins and delete the Adobe Reader plugin.
    4. Enter this command in Terminal, press Enter, then quit Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool false
    Restart Safari and try dragging a PDF file from your Mac directly into an open browser window; it should render without any problems.

  • Safari will not open pdf files.

    Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

    For Mac check the Safari preferences.
    General to set the options for opening links from applications.
    Tabs to set the other options.
    Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
    Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

  • HP laserjet 1536dnf will not print pdf's

    My laser jet 1536dnf will not print pdfs.  Prints everything else.  I have adobe acrobat 9.  I have unistalled the driver/software for the printer and reinstalled.  Still not fixed.  When I pull up the pdf and select print, then hit ok, nothing happens.  However, I can print pdfs to the other printer connected to my computer.  This logically brings the conclusion that the issue is with the laser jet driver.  Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

    Hi , I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents, just from the Laserjet M1536dnf printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Try printing a page from the printer's User Guide, to see if you have the same results. LASERJET PRO M1530.Let me know the results. Print the PDF as an image: Open the original PDF file, if necessary.Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.Select the Print As Image checkbox, change any other settings as desired, and then click OK.On the Print window, click OK again to begin printing.Run the Adobe updates.

  • Want more robust form fields in InDesign for PDF forms.

    I wish that soon InDesign CS6 Interactive Form Fields will include the COMB field for entering data in various formats such as phone numbers, credit card numbers, using some sort of format like [number of characters] ["(nnn) nnn-nnnn"]. I use comb fields a lot. Likely others do too. I realize that we are at v1.0 in the InDesign Interactive fields, so I hope that the developers will consider this for the next release!
    I long for the power that Acrobat fields have to be implimented in InDesign.

  • Safari will not display pdf files since installing OS 10.8.2

    Safari will not display pdf files uner Lion 10.8.2

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.
