PDF Forms filled out don't display on Ipad2

I use Dropbox to organize many of my files. Some of those files are PDF forms that have been filled out. They display correctly on my PC and my android phone. However, they show up as blank forms on my Ipad2. Why? I have tried GoodReader, Dropbox, PDFReader -- they show the PDF form, but none of the information that has been added to the form. It seems like this is an Ipad limitation. Any help or solutions would be great.
Regards
Bruce

Obviously an old OP, but I stumbled on this problem myself recently. As of Oct 2012 ibooks, Dropbox, and most other pdf viewers don't seem to hande filled out Adobe forms.
The good news is that the current version of the Adobe Reader app does (and its free!).
I was pretty sad after buying FileBrowser and DropbBox Pro only to to discover that forms were showing up blank -- the Adobe Reader app is a life saver

Help share your knowlegde

Thanks for the reply keaneSenses.
I am actually looking for a c API that is preferably free but willing to pay for one if need be. I found a lot of API's searching on google but the ether java , c# or C++ and trying to port them is proving difficult.
I have used Haru PDF to create PDF files in the past but i can not use it to modify an existing PDF and or to fill in forms.
If anyone knows of or has used another API please let me know?
I really need to find a one that is compatible with CVI

How can I make PDF forms filled in Preview show correctly in Acrobat?

Dears list members, there is a known issue with PDF forms filled in Preview: the fields do not show properly in Adobe Acrobat. How can this issue be solved? On the internet, I found two basic solutions: (a) to flatten the document by printing it as a PDF and (b) to use a costum-made script. Is there an official correction for this bug that does not involve installing suspicious scripts? Thanks!

PDF Form Filler

Has anyone used the App - PDF Form Filler and Sign? If so, pros & Cons

Hi Bill, thanks for your reply,
actually the site uses flash to present the form for filling. i tried building such a form using flash but its too complicated, im sure there is a much easier way.
say i create a editable form using Acrobat Pro, how would i go about embedding it into the webpage ? and allowing for it to be printed but not saved (the flash solution wrapps the form in a flash file therefor not allowing for a user to save it as a PDF file.
is there a way to do this ?
(im not quite sure why the link i sent is password protected, can't you access it ? http://www.pdffiller.com/index.php - take alook at their service)
here is another example of how i would like it to look

Can more than one email get a copy of the form filled out

Can more than one email get a copy of the form filled out? Not a link but the data from the form.

I have the copy of the form coming to my main email but I need it to go to a second email address. right now the 2nd email address only gets a link. I do not want them to have access to the account only to get a copy of the data. I have them set up under Email Notifications as a "reader".

PDF form filled in Preview does not display correctly in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

I recently received a PDF form from my bank, and filled in the fields and affixed my signature. Saved the form. The recipeint of the form opened the PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader and the fields don't display the filled in form, unless you click in the field. After you click out of the field, the entry disappears. When you print the form from Reader or Acrobat, the fields are blank, but the signature prints.
Before saving the form from Preview, the fields appear normally in Reader/Acrobat.
Running Lion 10.7 and Preview 5.5.
Anyone else have this happen?

I've since found out that there is somewhat of a "fix" that addresses a way to see the form entries in Acrobat, but doesn't resolve the problem the Preview creates. There is a script available on the Adobe forum that can be installed into Adobe Acrobat: http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2009/11/script_to_fix_mac_osx_previewa.html. The link and also explains the problem which should really be addressed by Apple. After installation, it will appear in the Edit menu of Acrobat. Once you open a Preview form, selecting "Fix Field Appearances" will repair the form so that the entries are visible.
Preview will still create bad forms, but this script will allow them to be visible in Acrobat. Unfortunately if you're sending a form to someone, there's no way to know if the recipient is using Preview or Acrobat and whether they even know about the problem. So you would have to create the form in Preview, open it in Acrobat, fix the field appearances and re-save. So it's not really a fix, just a work-around. Still don't use Preview for this reason.
I don't know if the script works with Adobe Reader, there's no mention that it does or doesn't in the forum entry.

Created a form in Forms Central. Exported the PDF with Submit Button Option. When the PDF is filled out and submit clicked, it comes back asking for required fields to be filled but they already are. Any Help?

Hi;
OK - I can clarify some things and tell you how to do what your looking for.
The desktop FormsCentral application tools are really designed towards create forms that do collect data on FormsCentral servers. You can still easily create PDFs that do not submit data to FormsCentral, but you'll have to add any alternative submit functionality using the Forms tools in Acrobat. You can create a PDF without the submit button in either case, signed in/out of the Desktop Application from the "File" - "Save as PDF Form" menu item. You can then modify the PDF in Acrobat XI Pro by doing a "Save A Copy", when you open the copy you can edit it any way you like, adding a "Submit" button that email's the PDF/Responses back to you...
Here's how: In Acrobat open the PDF you saved from the FormsCentral Desktop application and go to "File" - "Save a Copy" and choose a location, this will remove the security. Open up the copy you just created and you can now edit it, here is a YouTube video tutorial using Acrobat XI, he covers the email button in about two minutes, there are lots of tutorials out there but this one is easy to follow:,

How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
I can't find a way to go back.
The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

A question about pdf form filling?

Hello,
I received a form in PDF format as an attachment in an e-mail reply from a travel company. I have to fill in this form and return it to the sender.
I could print out the PDF form manually fill the required field and either fax to them or scan & send it as an attachment BUT
I would wish to open the document on my Mac Book Air -fill in the requested field by typing in my Mac Book Air and send it back as an attachment.
Is that possible? I could not do this in my Win 7 computer but wondered if my Mac would have tricks up it's sleeve to accomplish this task?
Thank you for your time to answer my question.
Regards

Thank you for your time and an answer.
I do have Microsoft Word.
I do not know how to insert the PDF as watermark. Where do you find the picture radio button?
Would you mind telling the step involved in getting my pdf file opened in the Microsoft Word?
Regards

Why would my PDF Form print out the tab order on top of my form fields?

When this user prints out the filled out PDF form we created, it prints the tab order as a little square numbered box right on top of the form field entry. The tab order prints over all types of fields, text entry fields, check box fields, etc.
I am not sure if this issue is related to someone using a non-Adobe PDF reader, or an issue with their printer? Unfortunately, we cannot duplicate this issue ourselves and are hesitant to interrogate our client futher on the matter.
Has anybody else ever seen this type of print out from a PDF form issue?

Thanks for your reply! Based on your suggestion I did a little experimenting.
This is a form saved to Enable User Rights so PDF viewers can fill out and email or save the form. After seeing your question, I opened the form for editing (actually saving a copy first that was not restricted, and editing the copy). I then toggled the Tab Numbers on via Tools > under the Forms header I clicked Edit > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Show Tab Numbers. After revealing the tab numbers I then tried to save the form as a Reader Extended PDF, but the Enable Additional Features option was grayed out. Even if I wanted to, I could not save the form with the tab numbers revealed.
The form itself was also received by our company electronically and when viewed does not show the tab number order and when we print it, it prints as expected (no tab order numbers).
We are suspecting that this may be an issue either with the end users printer? Or possibly viewing and printing via an alternate viewer like Foxit?
Anybody run across this odd behavior?

PDF forms filled with IOS device

Hi, we usually distribute pdf forms to be used via iPad. Actually we manually collect forms with Adobe X pro; Could we use formcentral to collect automatically forms which has been completed and sent via iPad?
Thank you very much in advance
Best regards

Lorenzo,
Forms created using FormsCentral are HTML based. Users "fill out" the form using their web browser of choice. The replies are collected by the FormsCentral server. This workflow works with desktop PCs, smartphones, and tablets.

No printing of forms filled out

Hi there,
I'm not quite sure if I'm in the right department here, but I have the following problem:
I need to create a form that can be filled out, saved and then printed. I do know how to create different fields into which people can write texts, I know how to position them, I know how to change fonts and stuff. In that sense, I am able to create the form itself, but my problem is that once it has been filled out completely, it can be saved but not printed. The first field (in my form, it's a text field in which you enter address data) would show on the print, the second field on the same page (here, it's a text field for entering a date) would not show and neither would any of the other 9 text fields.
I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Version 8.1.0, with the respective Live Cycle Designer 8.0, Version 8.05.2073.1.374024
I use it with Windows 7 Professional, SP 1
I have tried everything I could think of so far, but nothing helped.
What am I doing wrong?
Best regards,
dilviel

Have you got the correct presence set for each of the fields not printing? You can display fields on screen and not print them. make sure they are set to Visible and not Visible (Screen Only). Otherwise, have you got any subforms defined within your form which may not be printing?
