PC's but not Macs can send my "distributed" pdf with data added back to me

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on a iMac with Snow Leopard to create input fields on a pdf document.  I then use FORMS > DISTRIBUTE FORM and e-mail the "...distributed.pdf" document to PC and Mac users.  The PC users can enter data in these form fields and e-mail the updated pdf file back to me.  However, Mac users can enter data, but when they e-mail the updated pdf back to me the data is not on the file that I receive. 
When they have Java turned on, PC users see the following on the distributed pdf file that I e-mail to them: (1) A purple bar at the top of the screen; (2) In that purple bar the following text appears "Please Fill out the following form . . . "; (3) On the right side of the screen (in the purple bar), there are two icons with the following labels: "Highlight Fields" and "Submit Form" and (4) On the right side of the screen (below the purple bar), there are input fields with a blue background.  However, Mac users do not see (1) - (4); however, they can enter data in the form fields and save the pdf file.  But as stated above when they e-mail that file back to me, that data is not on the file that I receive.

I resolved this problem myself with the aid of my local Mac User's Group.
The solution was to change the default pdf reader from "Preview" to "Adobe Reader" on the Mac computers that were receiving my "distributed" pdf files.
Having "Preview" as the default program to open pdf files may not affect other users.   However, all Mac users need to realize that even though they have installed the latest version of Adobe Reader, their Mac is still using "Preview" to view pdf files unless they have changed the default pdf reader from "Preview" to "Adobe Reader".   If you ever need to make that change, follow the simple steps below.
(1) Download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader
(1-A) Go to www.adobe.com website
(1-B) Click on "Get Adobe Reader" icon
(1-C) Select your version of Mac OS version and download Adobe Reader
(1-D) Install Adobe Reader
(2) Make Adobe Reader your default program to open pdf files.
(2-A) Move the Adobe Reader icon in your "Applications" folder to the "Dock"
(2-B) Open a pdf file
(2-C) You should then get the following message: "Adobe Reader is not currently configured to be the default application for pdf files.  Would you like to make pdf files open with Adobe Reader instead of Preview?"
(2-D) Click "Yes"
It is very fundamental that Mac user's realize that "Preview" is the default pdf reader.  This information was not available in "Mac OS X Snow Leopard (the missing manual), "Adobe Acrobat 9 - Classroom in a Book", "Adobe Acrobat 9 (Visual Quickstart Guide" or this forum.

  • Why can you run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows

    I dont understant why you can run windows on a mac, but not mac on windows.  Any help.  I would purchase OS X Mountain Lion if you gave me a way.

    Microsoft builds software to run on other companies' hardware, pretty much exclusively if you don't count the long line of failed devices: Zune, Windows phone, and now the Surface.
    Apple builds hardware. They support that hardware with their own operating system. It is designed to run only on their very tightly integrated hardware. Trying to write software for the plethora of crap being sold would be a failing proposition and would divert resources away from the great software they provide for their hardware customers.
    The hardware and software are very well engineered to provide the best possible experience.
    If you want to experience a Mac, buy a Mac.

  • Hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send

    hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send.  says: could not be written to  check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only. 

    Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

  • I tried to install OS X Mavericks but my Mac Book Pro (of mid-2009 with OS X 10.7.5) crashed

    I tried to install OS X Mavericks but my Mac Book Pro (of mid-2009 with OS X 10.7.5) crashed. I had to change the Hard Disk. How can I install OS X Mavericks on my Mac laptop safely without going to another crash? I checked and found that my lap top is eligible for the upgrade to Mavericks. Can't understand what happened. Please help and advise how to do the upgrading. Thanks.

    I could not report the crash as my lap top was out of order. So now it's working. Should I report the crash and to whom? Do you have any link for that?

  • I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfully use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme?  Some forums say yes, some say no.

    I am trying to get an answer to whether or not I can successfuly use Time Machine with an external HDD connected to an airport extreme.  Some forums say yes, some say no.  I'm also curious about formatting the hard drive to work both on my wife's MacBook Pro and my PC.  Any help would definitely be appreciated.

    You may be going on a recollection, that I share, that at one time Apple stated this would be possible:
    In fact, Apple’s Time Machine Web page touted this very capability as recently as last Tuesday, as you can see from Google’s October 16 cache of the page
    Effortless meets wireless. With a hard disk connected to your AirPort Extreme Base Station, all the Macs in your house can use Time Machine to back up wirelessly. Simply select your AirPort Disk as the backup disk for each computer and the whole family can enjoy the benefits of Time Machine.
    But if you look at the current Time Machine page on Apple’s Web site, that text is nowhere to be found.
    That was a long time ago, it has never been officially implemented, and at present they specifically say it cannot be done.
    In summary, it may work, but probably won't, and even if it does it may not be reliable.
    Reference:
    Disks that can be used with Time Machine
    Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk connected to an AirPort Extreme, or...

    MMy old MacBook pro died, got a new Mac, can I use my cs4 with my new computer? Do I need to buy a new license?

    Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.
