IOS pdf viewer cannot display text that was entered in acrobat forms???

hi.
i have a blank PDF form. i enter text into this form on my mac, i use the latest adobe acrobat or adobe reader to do this. i email this filled out form to a person. the person uses an iphone or ipad to view his mail. he is a novice user, no extra apps installed. the user opens the attached pdf (default ios pdf reader) and the form is displayed.
but – not a single word i entered into the form is displayed.
it seems that forms that are filled out with acrobat/reader can't be correctly displayed on an iphone/ipad? They show up blank!
I tested this with a few documents, same result.
any help?
Cheers!

The basic readers might not process field forms, just the basic context of the PDF.
It is best to add an app that can process Acrobat PDF forms, not just read them. I would look at PDF Expert since it appears to be the most compatible and runs custom JavaScripts in forms. Another option would be the Adobe Mobile PDF Reader.
Did you create the PDF form?
PDF forms can be created by Acrobat, AcroForms, or using LiveCycle, XML forms. The majority of iOS or android mobile devices cannot process XML forms.
Trying to read PDFs on mobile devices requires testing of the PDF to fix display issues and if you are using forms the JavaScript within forms needs to be tested for compatibility with various app readers to see if the form fields and code even work.

  • How can I get rid of text that was made in iMovie while in FCPX

    I imported a video from my imovie and am in the process of adding text in the frames, is there a way to get the old text that was embedded in the imovie, can it be cut or editied out of the frames, I don't see any options that allow you to select it and delete. I just don't want to have to go back and delete it out as I have already made some major improvements on the exsisiting project.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Dude, the FCP-X forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x?view=discussions
    This is the Final Cut Studio forum.  There are no similarities between the two.

  • Firefox pdf viewer garbles embedded text on some of our pdfs (on Mac OS Mavericks). They're fine in Safari or when downloaded. This is a major problem.

    Firefox pdf viewer messes up text on pdfs and makes them unreadable. These fonts are embedded, so there shouldn't be a problem. The pdfs are fine when viewed in Safari or Chrome browsers. Also fine when viewed through Acrobat. Telling me to change my default browser isn't good enough. Visitors to our web site won't know this.

    The latest stable and latest development versions of the built-in PDF viewer are available as an extension and these version can possibly perform better than the version shipped with the current Firefox release.

  • My Mac crashed.  Can I retrieve the data somewhere that was entered before the crash?

    I use numbers to organize all of my work.  I hadn't saved the new information for about a day and a half and my Mac crashed.  That's never happened before.  When i restarted the computer, all of the new data that was entered since the last save was gone.  Is there a way to get that information back?  Isn't there an "autosave" on numbers?  I just feel like I haven't looked in the right place.  I pretty much NEED this info to do my job today and I'm trying not to flip out.  Can someone please help???

    I hope that now you will understand that computers aren't perfect tools and that if you don't take care to save your work from time to time, the chance to loose it is not null.
    If you are unable to press cmd + s by yourself every ten minutes, you may

  • Please restore a way to send edited pdfs right from finder. That was such a helpful feature in previous iOS software.

    Unless I'm missing it, which is a total possibility, the new Mavericks does not have a way to send pdfs from finder. I do a lot of editing pdfs and resending and that was so helpful, not to have to save it and attach it to an email. Anyone know any shortcuts?

  • Calendar on iOS 7.1: Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store.

    Hi All,
    I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.
    Yesterday, while updating a birthday in the iPhone iOS calendar app (default calendar = GMail), I noticed that the new 'List View' in the iOS 7.1 calendar (and only that view) showed an event called 'New Event' - which has a start date of 2014 and an end date of 2001. If I go into that event, it will show me no title and no location - only, as mentioned, funny start and end times. The 'Delete Event' button is completely missing. This 'New Event' does not come up in any other view.
    Trying to input a ficticious title with a valid start and end time into that event slot leads to a message from the calendar app saying: "Cannot Save Event - That event does not belong to that event store." I have deleted all calendars and re-add them again via settings, with / without soft and hard reset and tried every possible combination. Yet, the event will not disappear.
    The funny thing is that this 'New Event' will still showed up, even when my GMail, work and iCloud calendars were disabled. I have, however, subscribed to a GMail calendar for Australian holidays, and there is a built-in 'Birthday' calendar that pulls the dates from the contacts (I do not use that contact field, though).
    Does anyone have a similar issue? Any suggestions how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!
    Edit: This 'New Event' does not seem to sync to any calendar other than on the iPhone - not to Gmail, not to work, not to iCloud.

    Had same problem. Although the phone looks off   it actually isnt.  If you actually turn it off and then on again this problem will disappear. I think its a memory overload issue that is solved by clearing the memory by turning it off.
    Worked for me

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • 10G: design view cannot display a UIX update page

    I get the following error message when I try to display a page in both Design View and Preview View:
    Required page property "key" missing. Cannot display page.
    This is the same error message I get if I run the system and try to access the page directly and bypass the view page where the user selects a row of data for update.
    Does this mean that any update page such as this one cannot use the visual editor?
    Steve

    Thanks.
    It looks like the design editor runs the code. I noticed that it even fills in the fields with data from the database.
    Since it does that, it would need a key on the update pages to know what record to display.

  • How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

    How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

    Hi sarika,
    Welcome to SDN.
    1. first of all, such display of text,
       is not automatic.
       (it appears to be automatic)
    2. At design time,
       a) take one extra field for text
         and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
    3. Then in PBO coding,
        call some module, and in that module
        write code
    4. The code should be to
       select from TEXT Table
       into the work area.
    EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
    T510A-FIELDNAME.
    CLEAR t510a.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
      WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
    5. This will take care of
       displaying the text value of that field.
    regards,
    amit m.

  • Some pdf files cannot be read by eReaders other than Acrobat

    I have several books in pdf format.  All, including the attached, read perfectly in Acrobat and all, except the attached, read perfectly in various eReaders.  The attached file, however, cannot be read by any reader other than Acrobat and cannot be imported into Calibre and converted to any other format.
    What is unique about this file?
    I can not find any way to attach the file.  Please post instructions.
    Using Windows 8, Adobe Reader X 10.1.8,

    You cannot attach PDF files to the forum, only images (e.g. screen shots) and not at all in an email reply.
    To share a PDF put it on acrobat.com, your own web site, or a file sharing site, and reply with the URL.
    What does Adobe Reader X say for Document Security (under File > Properties)? The SECURITY METHOD is the key information. You are quite correct that some PDF files use security methods which lock them to Acrobat.

  • How can I add a character to the end of any text that is entered into a fillable field?

    I am creating a fillable PDF in the form of a business letter.  To start the letter, the form has Dear [fillable field for name].  I need a script that will enter a colon after the person inputs their name.  I have an Acrobat JavaScript scripting reference guide, but do not know where to start.
    Thanks in advance.

    Use this script as the field's custom format code:
    if (event.value) event.value+=":";
