Tax Form Scoots to Right When Saved

After downloading a 1040 PDF form from the IRS website and then do a Save As within Preview the whole form scoots to the right, some content going off the page. Does that do to some for you or is it my machine?
OS X: 10.4.11
Preview: 3.0.9
Thanks!,
Wesley

Dialup? I feel your pain
I don't see Export in Preview. My setup is US Letter - 8.5 x 11.
The file stays intact when doing a Print > PDF; and Print > Preview looks correct. If I do a Save As, with this file, the file will jump a good bit to the right and toward the top. I tested several other PDFs besides these tax forms and doing a Save As works correctly, they don't shift over. I've been doing Save As with PDFs for years and never had this problem. For some reason Preview doesn't like the IRS forms.
Doing a Save As in Adobe Acrobat with these PDF forms works correctly btw. I've actually been using Acrobat to fill these out but would rather use Preview.
Thanks again,
Wesley

  • Preview deletes info when saving a pdf form from the IRS

    This is driving me CRAZY. I have been working on my tax forms which have all been saved from the internet as a pdf through preview. When I go into the file to update numbers and try to save the file  with the updated information, it won't let me. It will only let me do a "save as". If I do a "save as" and name the file the same as before (replaces original) or if I rename it, the pdf will save, but any data that I did not type in in the most recent session is deleted. So, when I open up my taxes and change a few numbers, the new numbers are saved, but all the rest of my data from before is deleted. It is making me want to scream. It does this repeatedly to different forms saved from the IRS' website and my local state's revenue website and on different days and with a shutdown in between. It isn't the websites, it is preview! 
    Oh, and just for info, sometimes preview will let me save the data I have updated and I don't lose anything, but then I can make a couple of more changes, go to save and the ability to "update" my current file with "save" isn't highlighted, only the "save as".
    This is a brand new macbook pro, only a couple of months old. It has Preview version 5.0.3. I have done all updates that the computer has downloaded.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,
    Kristie

    Preview suck!!! Please for your own sanity use acrobat to edit PDF. Get it from adobe.com

  • Tax form class variant

    Hi Gurus,
    Where can I view and configure the tax form class variant? When I use tax reporter, I don't know how it is defaulted with form HR_F_W2. I guess it is done by the variant for tax form classes, right?
    For 2006, I want to use the form HR_F_W2_01 for tax reporter. How could this be done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    For country US. Goto IMG & do the settings as below
    SPRO->Payroll->Payroll:USA->Tax Reporter->Tax Form Defination->Define original tax forms. Execute this & then choose tax form HR_F_W2 . Click on that & double click on the left hand side on issuing tax forms. Here in alternate form insert a new entry with HR_F_W2_01.
    So when you run PU19 for W2 - Wage and Tax statement. This HR_F_W2_01 will be displayed along with other forms.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Sarika.

  • Saved as tax form PDF shift to the right

    I copied PDFs of tax forms from the IRS web site. I then filled them out in Preview mode and tried to save these files on my hard drive. When I did the copy of the pdf shifted to the right and erased part of the document on the far right side. How can I save this PDF in Preview and not have the documents shift?

    I have seen that with some forms in Preview. Try using Print > Save as PDF.

    I am trying to access tax forms from the IRS.  I download them to my comuter and they read fine (version XI).  However, when iItry to open them on another computer (version 4) they will not open.  Version 4 opens all other pdf documents fine, just not the ones from the IRS.  Any ideas?

    Version 4 is oh so old.
    The IRS and many other providers of forms are using products like LIveCycle which require at least version 7.05.

  • How to retain font-size when saving filled in form (pdf)

    Hi,
    I have a pdf form from an organization and when I fill in the (text)boxes, the more text I put in there, the font-size will adjust to fit everything in. However, when I save the pdf file and view it in a different pdf reader the font-size is too big and half of the text is not visible.
    Also, the form contains some checkboxes/radiobuttons. When filling in the form they work just fine, but when saved and viewed both the yes and no are checked, even though I only checked one of them.
    Anyone have any idea how I could fix this?
    Thank you in advance
    (using: Acrobat XI 11.0.0)

    Ow.. I don't know the solution yet, but maybe something went wrong earlier with someone else who filled it in partially. I found the original on the internet and that seems to work so far.

  • Business Rules Do Not Execute When Saving a Form

    When saving a form the attached business rules are not executing. Sometimes we are unable to validate business rules via AAS. When this happens we do a security refresh from Planning to Essbase and Essbase to Shared Services. At other times, we bounce planning and even Essbase and this seems to fix the problem. Today we have tried every combination (bounce planning, Essbase, AAS) and we are able to at least validate biz rules in AAS but we (i.e., users) are uanble to execute the biz rule when they save via the planning form. There are no issues running the biz rules when saving the form using an administration account. Can someone explain what's going on or provide direction as to why this problem happens and how to fix this issue?

    Hi,
    Well is your version 9.3.0.1? If yes then you have my sympathies :). We too have this version and face similar problems with Business Rules. Usually things come back to normal after following the steps mentioned above. However what I would want to know is the following:
    1) From where are you running the Business rules? I am asking this because if you are trying to run from Smartview then I would suggest you look at the time it takes for the Business Rules to execute. If it excedes the timeout settings then it will exit out. However the BR might still be running in the back ground. This you can confirm by looking at the data.
    2) Have you checked if you have installed all the patches?
    Hope it helps.

  • XML Forms Error when saving

    Hi,
    In XML forms builder, after specifying project name and when I save it - I get an error message saying "Operation Aborted" The following error occured when saving the Schema: Couldt not save document:MyNews/MyNews-Schema.xml.
    Does anyone have idea why I'm getting this error message though I have all permissions.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Try doing one of the following:
    - Work on another directory
    - Restart the J2EE engine
    The error pops up due to network & memory problems too. So it may just be worthwhile to restart your machine!

  • Need Help ASAP  my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait

    Need Help ASAP  my State tax form is in a PDF file and the attachment in my email says Please wait...
    I tried downloading updates like it said to but it still will not display the document.  How do I print the PDF file ASAP

    Can you give us a LOT more info?
    What email client? What version of Reader (I can only assume you even have Reader at this point)?
    Please wait? I'm sure it says more than that, right?
    Have you tried simply saving the PDF (it IS a PDF correct?) to your desktop and opening it from there?
    Did you get this form from the IRS or did it come from somewhere else? If the IRS again, what version of Reader?
    Help us help you.

  • Info on fillable forms and usage rights settings

    I have created several different forms in Acrobat 8 and saved the forms on multiple office computers for employees to fill out. My first question: I have enabled the user rights to be able to fill-in, print and save completed forms.  I am wondering if there is a way that when save as is used and they save the completed form, that this is their only option.  Right now, if they fill it out and hit save instead of save as, it will save their filled form but will overwrite my original form file???
    My second question: Once my employees have saved their filled form, when they go to email this filled form to a client, is there a setting to make the file they send read only?
    I thought on my second question that maybe there was a way to save the filled form as read only, but ive had no luck figuring out how.  On the first question, I have no clue so any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

    This free JavaScript-based tool for Acrobat is what you need: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
    The Typewriter tool creates a type of text box, so you'd select just that check box to flatten them.

  • How can I compress a large fillable form with extended rights?

    Hello:
    I have about 15 fillable PDF s that I created in LiveCycle ES2. One form is 37,616 kb and takes forever to download from the web. I attempted to zip the file, but when I tested it, text could no longer be saved after it was unzipped (the forms have extended rights as users need to be able to enter in a save text they enter into it). Does anyone have any suggestions re: how I might be able to compress my PDF file, while still being able to maintain the ability to enable savable text (extended rights)?

    Just tried it here and it worked fine ....are you sure you zipped the Reader Extended version of the form?

    when I try to fill in a 1065 fed tax form a window aqppears that says " Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.
    You may not permission to access this data."

    PDF form or Word Form? And you mean that you have already open this file, when you fill in the form, windows throws such an error message?
    Have you already right-click the file to check if it is blocked? also you can check if your antivirus software is blocking the file. Please see

  • Preview erases my text input when saving PDF

    I'm filling out some pdf forms but when I press save all of my input text disappears.
    Any info on this?

    This isn't helpful enough. I'm running into this exact problem, with tax forms from the IRS. The PDF's are marked as giving me full permissions. I can say "save as", and the result is an unedited copy of the original file.
    So I found out what's going on with the tax forms, at least.
    The IRS is using an outdated form preparation program. They even state that their output is compatible with, and will save with edits on Adobe Reader 7 or 8, but not with reader 9.
    Is there any way to override or remove the security settings in the PDF file? I mean, if older versions of reader can save the changes, then it must actually be possible, merely a "This flag tells me to disable something that I'm perfectly able to do" in the program, so how can I either disable that flag or change the behavior of the program?
