When I go back to edit the form why are my individual text boxes merging into one large text box?

I am currently trying to create a form fillable pdf and have never had problems until yesterday.
My individual text boxes are somehow conjoining into one large text box after I save my edits and go back to the form to make additional edits. This has never happened before and it is messing up the entire format of the form. Any guidance would be grealy appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you find a solution to your problem? I am experiencing the same thing. Only, the boxes will change. One time when I go in a single word on a line will be in the same box as a word above it. I created these text boxes in the pdf and did not import from another file. The next time I go into the file, the word will be back in its original box and other words will be combined in boxes. The last time I went in two entire lines that were two separate boxes are not one box. The boxes seem to merge completely randomly though the text they are enclosing are next to each other either side by side, or more frequently, above/below. This is quite a nuisance as I am still creating my form and when I want to move words or lines, I have to copy the text box and then delete the words I do not want in each box just so I can manipulate the content into the positions I want them.

M Parker,
Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

What would cause a single user not to be able to edit the fields in a form? All other users are able to edit the form.

I have a user who is unable to edit his time sheet in Adobe Reader XI. It worked fine in Adobe Reader 9.6. I recently upgraded his reader to version XI and he lost the ability to edit the fields. I re-imaged his machine and re-did his profile. He was able to edit his time sheet. A week later he's back to where he was. He was able to go to another machine with Adobe XI and edit his time sheet but he can't do it on his normal workstation. His time sheet shows the purple bar at the top telling him to fill out the form and that he can save data typed into the form. We're running XP SP3. How can I troubleshoot this?

My guess would be keyboard related. I'm guessing the field you're trying to fill has a keystroke event allowing only certain types of character. If the keyboard is faulty OR if the keyboard's layout (English, french, numLock, capLock) have been changed, allowed character could be someplace else.
I would first verify the presence of a particular format or a keystroke event in the format tab. I would then test my layout by typing charaters in another application such as notepad. Any chance the maximum character allowed would have mistaken be set to 0?
Also, I see you mentionned:

By Adobe, I'm guessing you mean Reader. Is it possible the default application on this other machine is Acrobat instead? If it is the case, the problem would probably be the way the file was created and maybe it would require to enable Extended features.......

Hi,
You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
Thanks,

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

How do yo turn a pdf file into reader so i can edit the form?

I have no idea what you are trying to say; your are trying to open a PDF with Reader?

To elaborate on what Sukrit posted, it is likely that the form is not an Acrobat forum but a Designer form or was set for distribution and is locked for editing. I suspect it was probably created in Designer and thus can only be completed in Acrobat or Reader since the PDF is really container for and XML structure and does not have the basics of a PDF document. If that is the case, you either need Designer or you can print to a new PDF and use the field recognition feature of Acrobat to recreate the form. Of course, the latter will require some editing to the form fields in most cases.

When i am trying to edit the Variable in the Business Rule?

Hai Guys,
When i am trying to edit the Variable in the Business Rule , I am getting String Error Message? Guys any one have any idea about the String Error Message

Oh, so you're talking about an Essbase substitution variable.
Try to surround the variable value with double quotes if it contains spaces.
It's weird because its supposed to accept any value.

Urgent (sort-of) How do you edit the form of typefaces/fonts or create your own ??

Hey im very new to illustrator- but i really need to do this project. I am unable to learn the basics because of time.
This is what i want to do: (please help im clueless at the mo)
Basically i want to edit the forms of a san serif type ( or make my own (if it is easy)) .
I want to edit type because im making an animation where the font letters are morphing in to other letters.
ei - A into B into C ect .
i can draw this - the problem is that im gonna have to 100s if i want a smooth animation and i would of thought using illustrator would be alot quicker and i can use more frames.
how would i go about this ?
Also what size do you reccomend .

zosspro,
You may have a look at blends.
If you wish to have a number of steps from one shape to another (outlined Type or whatever), you may:
1) Place the start shape to the left and the end shape to the right (with the centres at the same Y value) with a suitable distance so yo can see what you are doing;
2) Object>Blend>Blend Options, set Spacing to Specified Steps with the number of inbetween shapes, set Orientation to Align to Page or Path as desired, if relevant;
3) Select both shapes form 1) and Object>Blend>Make.
You can now see all the intermnediate shapes. You can Undo and make changes, and you can Object>Blend>Expand if you wish to have all the steps as independent objects (you may Ungroup them).
You can also make a blend between three or more objects to start with, with the same distances and number of steps between the original shapes, and you can combine (the objects from) blends.

My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with icons at r/h side.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I just bought lightroom 5. I had lightroom 3. Now when I export my photos from lightroom 5 and upload them into my photoshop elements program to edit the photo files are at 100% zoom percentage. When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

I can not edit the form that I am filling in

I can not edit the form that I am filling out. I saved it to Desktop and was allowed to fill it in. But I can not erase some words that I want to change.

Are the words you want to change in form fields that you previously typed in?

Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

When I go back to edit the form why are my individual text boxes merging into one large text box?
