Saved PDF form opens blank on another workstation

I have a weird problem I have been unable to resolve. On one pc I have acrobat 6 pro. On another PC I have acrobat 7 standard and on the last pc I have acrobat 9 standard. I have a PDF form that we have been using for the last couple of years that was created in acrobat 6 pro. it is running with no security and you can saved the completed form with no problem. When I open it up on the acrobat 6 pro pc all the text i typed in in the form appears. when I open the same file on the acrobat 7 or 9 pc's the text i typed in is missing. I have been unable to find an answer to this problem and would appreciate any input anyone might have.

No reader is not installed on any of these systems. I could not see any problems with this form either but that form I posted actually is one of the completed forms yet it too is empty. I even went to a friends location and opened it with his copy of acrobat and it to was missing all the text filled in fields.

  • Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

  • Saving PDF form on Mac prevents viewing and printing by another viewer

    We run a student competition which is affiliated with a national competition.  The national competition provides a set of forms that must be filled out by the students, teachers, etc.  We have a process set up whereby students can download a PDF form (which is enabled by the authors  for saving from Reader).  They are supposed to fill out this form (actually several of them), and then save the file(s) to their drive.  Once they have the forms filled out and approved by their teacher, they upload them to our website via a standard web form, which simply saves the uploaded PDF for later viewing by the student, teachers, judges, and committee members.  When students do this using Adobe Reader on a PC, it works fine.  (I'm not sure if Reader X works, actually, but I know Reader 9 does).  The problem, though, comes up with Mac users.  When they do the same thing, it seems to override the extended rights in the document, resulting in a document saved on their disk that displays with all the fields initially unviewable (that is  they all appear blank).  If you click on one of the fields, you can view the fields one at a time.  Each field appears and disappears as you move thru the document.  But we can't simply read the form, nor can we print a copy (which is necessary if the student wins and proceeds to the national competition.)  This is true if the form is uploaded or emailed or transported by USB drive--it is simply a property of the saved file.   In our testing, this appears to be a generic property of forms processed on  a Mac--and we haven't found a way around it.  Is there any way for a student who has filled out a form on a Mac to save the form while PRESERVING the extended rights?  Or do we just have to tell them that Macs don't work right?  If there is a way for them to do this, I could provide the instructions on the page that delivers the forms.  But we've tried to explore the Mac interface (inside Safari and in the PDF viewer that is provided on the Mac systems) and can't find any place that gives options that seem to affect the extended rights.  Help!

    There's an easy way around it. Make sure they are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. 99% of these cases are because they are using the Mac Preview application to open PDF's and it will corrupt Adobe forms.

  • Trouble opening a PDF form (getting blank tab)

    I'm having an issue in Firefox on Windows 7. My company's intranet has a PDF form that I need to complete but it won't open properly. With the option for PDF files set to "Use Adobe Reader", the PDF opens in a new tab but the error “This PDf document contains forms. This filling of form fields is not supported.” is shown. When I change the option to "Use Adobe Acrobat (In Firefox)", a blank tab is shown. Normally selecting "Use Adobe Acrobat (In Firefox)" works and that is what is set on other computers. I just won't work on this one. I've upgraded from Firefox 29 to 33 and that did not help. Can anyone help me?

    Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
    Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
    In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
    Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
    To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
    Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.

  • Why is my PDF form empty (blank) when I open it from my Iphone?

    The only solution I've found is to download adobe reader on my Iphone and open the PDF form with this app... Do you know if there is an option when creating a PDF Form with Adobe Acrobat Pro to allow people to see a PDF Form with their Iphone?

    Hey peterlavigne,
    Please let me know whether it is a simple PDF form or a form designed using javascript?
    For normal PDF forms, you might need to refer the link given below:

  • Forcing link in one web based PDF to open link to another PDF in new browser window

    We have created a form using LiveCycle Designer ES2.  The form is found on our website and is used by faculty to submit proposal information to our office.  Depending upon the answers to questions in the form if they say yes we had a link to another form that we would like them to complete and submit with the original PDF that they are working on.  The problem that we are having is that when they click on the form it opens the new PDF and all the data that they had entered in the original PDF is gone once the new form opens up.  Is there a way to force the new PDF via the use of some scripting that can go along with the link, or via the use of a button that can force the new form to open in a new browser window?  It is impractical for us to expect 1500 faculty members to change their browser settings to open new PDF's in a new window.  We have removed the links for now and have just put in text that says if they select yes they need to go out and complete the additional form.
    The form we are using can be found here: http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf
    The first three questions on page two where we reference the other forms is where we would like to be able to add the links to the new forms and have them open in a new browser window.  When the form is downloaded and opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader the links functioned correctly, it just did not function properly when it opens in a browser.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in regards to this issue.

    I used a button, removed the border/fill properties and underlined the caption to look like a URL.
    The click event is...
    // form1.page1.subform1.urlBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
    app.launchURL("http://spo.usu.edu/files/uploads/SP-01.pdf",true);
    The PDF will open in a new window or tab, depending upon the browser configuration.

  • The pre filled fields from downloaded pdf forms are blank; e.g.; prefilled pdf forms from insurance companies.

    I download pre filled pdf claim forms from the web site of my insurance company. The fields are not pre filled with my personnal data ( name, address, etc) like it is supposed to. Furthermore, I cannot even type my own data in the blank fields. All of this works all right with another browser.

    The new built-in PDF viewer does not have the capability to do fill-in forms. Development is still underway on enhancements to the PDF viewer.
    In the meantime, you will need a PDF application that can do fill-in forms (Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader are 2 free PDF applications that can fill-in PDF forms).
    *You have Adobe Reader 9.3.4 installed, but it is a very old version and needs to be updated due to security issues.
    *Check your Plugins - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *Info about Adobe Reader - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files?esab=a&s=pdf&r=0&as=s#os=winxp&browser=fx19
    You can change Firefox settings to use another application's plugin to fill-in forms in Firefox instead of using the built-in PDF viewer as a default. Here's how to do that - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-built-pdf-viewer-and-use-another-viewer

  • Any Function in a PDF form opens a different window of the same form

    Hello,
    I have a customer who uses forms pulled from our company's SharePoint site. Within the form there is an "Open" button that she clicks on which opens a window within Adobe Pro to the location on our SharePoint site that stores her completed PDF forms. In SharePoint, there is a "copy" option which obviously creates a copy of the selected form into the storage location. The issue is, that when she clicks on copy, another window to the same storage location opens, this time in her web browser. In the past she would click on "copy" and, from within Adobe Pro, the page would simply update and show the copy of the document.
    Additionally, when she clicks on any function or button from within the document a new version of the same document reopens in a different window. By the time she's completed working on a form she has roughly 6 or 7 windows open.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I forgot to mention that she is running Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 on a Windows 7 64Bit machine.

  • PDF Form opening on Acrobat X

    I cannot open a downloaded PDF Form on Acrobat X on Mac, but it opens on Acrobat Reader. My Plug.in AcroForm is loaded. Any hint or halp available?
    Message given by ACROBAT X:
    "Unable to read the form. Do not save and exit the program as it might cause data corruption or
    loss. The form can only be edited using Adobe Reader software!"

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip. I disabled JAVA and got now the following message:
    "If the form is viewed in "Protected View" mode, all features should be
    enabled for the form to
    function properly. If after enabling all features this message is still
    visible, check that JavaScript
    is enabled in Edit Preferences Javascript"
    Enabling JAVA leads again to the initial message?
    Best!

  • How to paste into PDF form opened by Adobe Reader?

    Hi,
    I need to fill out and fax a PDF form online that I've opened with Adobe Reader 9. Typing in the information is straightforward enough, however I can't seem to be able to paste onto the form. Is there some feature that I need to change that will enable me to do this?
    I know the alternative is to print out the form and then fill it out but my preference is to do this online, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you mean "open in full screen mode"?
    If so there is an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=JK2I24ZgmsvMr6BtCQNMOg
    The script is in buttons to show the separate functions, but you can combine the ones you want in the docReady event.
    Hope that helps,

  • Saving pdf form with extended Reader rights

    Hello,
    I want to save form changes without further confirmations in Reader version X ("Save" and not "Save as...").
    - If you use a pdf form with enabled Reader rights, you should be able to save any changes made in form field by using the Reader.
    - To save changes use "File / Safe" or press CRTL+S
    Result:
    - Save-as window will appear
    - After choosing save button you will be asked to overwrite existing file.
    Expected results:
    File should be saved without further confirmations! In Reader version 9 there was no problem with that.
    Does anybody had the same problem and found a solution?
    Regards,
    Christian

    OK, it seems to be a typical "it's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature"-problem. But I found no way to avoid the overwrite question during saving. I noticed that the question appears only the first time when you click on the save button. If you do further changes in form fiels and click a second time on the save button the document will be overwritten without additional warnings. Maybe it's a feature to prevent users from overwriting empty forms by asking for a new filename and so on..
    However, we are using the reader in conjunction with a document management software and the overwrite warning disturbs our enterprise workflow. So the only insufficient solution for my problem is to downgrade all users to version 9 again.
    Hope next version of reader will be better in disabling unwanted features ;-)
    Regards, Christian

  • Saved pdf forms empty in Reader, filled in Preview

    Today I was informed that pdf forms I've filled and saved/emailed with Preview are empty when viewed with Reader 9 (Win or Mac). If the recipient sends the form back to me, Preview shows the form just as I've filled it. Reader 9 on my MBP also shows the form empty, emailed or not.
    Seems to me, that Snow Leopards Preview has some bugs. I hope these are redemied in 10.6.2.

    HI,
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.Preview.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that did't help, try deleting this file as well.
    com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
