PDF document doesn't show filled in text in Windows.

Hi I made a PDF document with fill-in fields in Acrobat Pro 9. When I fill-in that document, by using Acrobat Reader, I can see the text on my Mac, then I send it as a PDF to someone else, then they can't see what I typed in the fill-in fields.
They did send it back because they thought is was an empty form, but when I look to the form my Mac mail I can see what I typed.?!?
Did I do something wrong with the making of the formfields?
I Noticed when I want to fill-in the form using Acrobat Pro, the moment I tab to another field, the former field is not visible anymore, but it is visible on my Mac when I open it in Acrobat Reader.
Any suggestions what the problem is?
Thanks,
Laurens

This is typical when you use the Preview application on the Mac to fill-in and save a form. Are you sure this was not done? Preview should be avoided at all costs when working with PDF forms as it corrupts them in a number of ways.

PDF document doesn't show personal images

Hi all guys!
I'm trying to add some fields in my PDF document headers connected to my dashboard pages.
I usaully follow these steps:
Dashboard Page--> Page options --> PDF and Print Control Properties --> Include Header: Edit
Well, if i add some custom fileds (eg: data, time, author, custome images) I got no problems.
I got some issues when i try to insert an image of mine.
The code for the filed is the following:
@{fmap:meters/alert/lg/MyImage.png}
I've added MyImage file to the same directory where i found the custom images, but, even after having restarted all the services, I can't see my image in the PDF document produced by Printer Friendly.
I can see my image only in the preview box where you can choose which one you want to add in the field.
Does the image need a specific format or dimension limits to be shown ?
Best Regards
Fabio

Hi Stijn,
Thanks for the reply.
My image has always been in those 2 directories you wrote.
But, the first time I had this issue, I tried to scan my HDD just to find the custom images that i see in the PDF document.
Example: "01_green_alert.gif" is in this directory:
{OracleBI}\web\app\res\s_oracle10\meters\alert\lg
So I've tried to add my personal image file in this folder, but the only result I got is that I can see my image in the preview box where I can choose which image I want to add.
Best Regards,
Fabio

Why can't I save text I've entered into a PDF file? When I hit "Save As", only the PDF document is saved, but not the text i typed into the document. I'm using Windows 8.

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. Adobe reader is installed on my iPad.

PDF attachment doesn't show in opened e-mail to open it. I do have adobe installed. Any suggestions?

You don't need any third party app at all in order to view a supported file in the mail app. It should be viewable even without Adobe Reader.
You do see a paper clip icon to indicate that there is an attachment but you don't see the opened PDF or the PDF icon in the body of the email? Did you swipe all the way down to the bottom of the screen? Is this just happening in one email or does it happen everywhere in the mail app?
Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Launch mail again and see if the PDF opens or appears. If it doesn't, close mail again and restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Preview doesn't show up in the capture window

When trying to capture, the video preview doesn't show up in the capture window, only the color bars. I am able to run my transport with the buttons and the key commands, so I know the Canon ZR500 is really communicating (easy setup: DV-NTSC), via firewire. My scratch disk is a G-Raid hooked up through the firwire 800 input. The crazy thing is, it worked only one time. I've wasted one whole day and this morning, restarting, rebooting, unplugging, different tapes, etc. Next step is takew my entire setup to the so-called Genius Bart and see if Apple's Geniuses know anything about Apple software. Frustrating as ****. I will never buy Apple again.

Careful about editorializing. There are lots & lots of Mac users who are successfully capturing from Canon camcorders. I am one of them, and have never had a problem. So there is something in your setup that needs to be uncovered, it's not FCE or Canon per se.
One observation, you have a small hard drive (100GB) and even though you appear to have 59GB free, that's actually not a lot of space. One hour of DV consumes about 13GB and during capture the Mac temporarily needs nearly 2x that space, which means your system is using the 'inner' cylinders of the hard drive, where performance slows down; this could explain your dropped frames problem. Can you move some stuff off your system HD onto your G-RAID (say, your iPhoto and iTunes libraries if you are using those apps, they often take a lot of disk space)?

Album artwork doesn't show up on Get Info window?

I downloaded iTunes 7. Now, when I open the Get Info window and go to the artwork tab, the artwork doesn't show up, even though I can see it in the regular iTunes window! Help? Anyone?

iTunes 7 does some stupid things with the artwork. The artwork tab in Get Info is the artwork that is contained inside the music file. iTunes 7 also downloads artwork for songs but then it doesn't store it inside the song file -- it just puts in in a folder on the computer.

PDF option doesn't show up on iBooks on my iPAD

I upgraded to the latest version of iBooks once again and although it shows screenshots of an ipad with Ibooks and PDFs in iBooks, it doesn't every show up on my ipad.
Is something wrong with my iPad/software/etc? Or am I missing something here?

Give it a pdf and those options should appear. Just drop one into the itunes library and then sync the ipad.

Saved pdf file does not include filled in text

i am using adobe acrobat pro; trail version. I can fill in a fillable pdf file but after saving the file and then emailing the filethe received email attachment does not include my text included in the pdf form?

It most likely does include it in the form, but the PDF viewer that's being used does not display it. If the user were to use Adobe Reader/Acrobat, the form data should appear as expected. The default PDF viewer that mobile devices and some browsers use don't have sufficient support for forms.
If the recipient does not need to interact with the form fields, you can flatten the form before sending it out. This converts the form field appearances to regular page content, so it will very likely appear fine in most any PDF viewer. Post again if you need help flattening form fields using Acrobat.

How do I delete an iphone pdf that doesn't show up in ibooks or itunes?

Hello,
I am trying to make space for iOS 7 and discovered that I have over a gig of a pdf file apparently on my iphone.
The file shows up ONLY in the "On this iPhone" category under Books when the phone is plugged in. It does not show up in the Books sections or iTunes or in iBooks on the phone. It will not allow me to delete it. Help!

You can't without restoring the phone as new.

PDF documents doesn´t open in browser!

When i enter to a page with pdf content it don´t shows on the browser instead it downloads to the desktop! i need to fix it! any help?

Try re-installing the "Adobe Acrobat Reader", even if the full version is already installed. They are different programs.
If you need help with the Acrobat plugin for Safari, Adobe's site should have more information on their plugin.

Shared folders document doesn't show up over USB in Files

Playbook Question. Our app writes files to the Shared Folder Documents folder. I know they are there because the app can read them after they are written. They simply don't show up in the Desktop Software Files section and they don't show up in the Z: drives Documents folder. If I create an empty file in the Z: Documents folder and then write to it with the app the file will contain the information he app writes to it. What am I missing. Do I need to set something on the Playbook? Do I need to set somthmg on the Desktop Software This happens in both the Photos and Documents folder that the app writes to. Thanks for any help. gjw

Right-click on the desired folder and choose Get Info from the contextual menu. In the info window that appears, toward the bottom is a section for Sharing & Permissions (click on the disclosure triangle if the section isn't open). You may also need to click on the lock (at the lower right corner) to unlock and authenticate in order to make changes.
The normal permissions for a user's Public folder is read only for staff and everyone (items can also be put in the Drop Box). The normal permissions for the /Users/Shared folder is read & write for everyone, although the appropriate permissions need to be set by the owner (or use something like Access Control List (ACL) entries) to allow people to modify items that are owned by others.

Pdf file doesn't show

On this page
http://www.mensjevankeulen.nl/nieuws.htm
is a link to a pdf file.
Please go to the second text bloc and click on the bold words
"artikel in de
NRC".
When I click on it, the pdf opens in a new browser page, but
the client sees
only a white page in her browser.
I asked her to try other pdf files. She sees them all right,
so it must be me.
I made sure the file is properly uploaded, the path is
correct.
I searched this forum and found lots of advice on linking to
pdf files. It
seems to be pretty straight forward, but I must be doing
something wrong.
Can some one tell me where I went wrong?
Regards,
Adriana.

Works fine on my machine. My only little point is that one of
your
directories has an apostrophe in it (pdf's), which may be
causing some
discrepency somewhere? Apart from that, try clearing your
cache.
