Why do my fields in Adobe Reader keep disappearing?

When I go to fill in a form in Reader, my previous fields keep coming up when I click within them. However, they then disappear when I click to fill in another field. How can I get them all to stay filled in?

  • Adobe reader keeps giving me an error message when trying to download.

    Adobe reader keeps giving me an erro message everytime I try and download something.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
    Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
    Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Adobe Reader keeps crashing on iPad Air

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned by others but my adobe reader keeps crashing every time I pull up any power points since the last update. It is really frustrating since I have so many power points on it from school saved with notes. Is there any way this can be fixed or it in the processed of being fixed in the next update? I have the iPad Air with the latest iOS software. Thank you!

    This is not a problem that we have seen or that others have reported. Can you please share one of the files you are opening by emailing it to [email protected]?

  • Adobe Reader keeps telling me that there is no default mail client

    Adobe Reader keeps telling me that there is no default mail client.  But I do have Outlook 2013 set as my default email client.  I really don't wish for Adobe Reader to be looking for an Email Client.  How can I get Adobe Reader to quit looking for an Email Client?

    That's on a Mac, but it's the same in Windows.
    After you click "Add Other..." use ANY email address (make one up if you feel like it)
    Set it as your default. It should stop asking you to choose.

  • Why doesn't the Android Adobe reader app respond to fillable fields in a secure document?

    The document's forms are fillable on any other computer. The document does not allow printing or editing but has been allowed fillable forms. The Adobe reader app for Android does not recognize the forms. How can this be fixed?

    If the form was created with LiveCycle Designer, it will not work on a tablet or iPax.

  • Why does adobe reader keep trying to open my XPI files?

    Recently when trying to download a .xpi file I accidentally clicked on adobe reader instead of the program I wanted to use to open it, and now it repeatedly tries to use adobe reader to open it no matter what I do, I've looked everywhere and I can't change this. Could you please inform me on how to change what I use to open a file?

    You can install such an locally saved extension in Firefox by dragging the file in a Firefox tab or use "Firefox/File > Open File" to install the extension.
    There is usually no need to open an xpi file directly.

  • Form doesn't update fields in Adobe Reader XI

    I created a form in Acrobat X Pro, it has a bunch of radio buttons the user must select. The last page is the results page, which has JS code that is executed when entering the page. If I test the form in Acrobat X, the results page properly updates the results fields as soon as you enter the page.
    But if I open the page in Adobe Reader XI, the fields in the result page will not update until I save the page. This didn't happened before, forms always behaved the same in Acrobat and Reader. I also tested forms I created months ago, and had the same result.
    Does anybody know what's going on here?  Thank you.

    After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
    In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
    Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
    Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
         var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
         getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

  • Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

    Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition  I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat".  This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
    When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
    I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
    Regards,
    KVD

  • Issue tabbing through form fields on Adobe Reader 9.2

    Hello everyone.  I am having an issue that I am hoping someone can assist me with.  We are currently using IE6 and Reader 5.5 in our production environment and we are currently testing IE8 and Adobe Reader 9.2 for deployment.  Our company uses a web portal where we have many pdf forms that open within a web browser. The problem we are experiencing is that when tabbing through fields on the pdf, the cursor will eventually cycle down to the end of the form and then start cycling through to the top of the browser (toolbars, address bar, search bar,etc) before finally returning to the pdf document's fields.  Is there either a setting in the reader or maybe even IE which controls this functionality and will limit the tabbing to only the pdf form?  Or does anyone know of a method of limiting the tabbing functionality to only work within the pdf document itself when opened within a browser?
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.  I have looked through all the reader preferences and do not see anything directly related to this.  Thank you very much in advance.

    I guess by QTP you mean HP Functional Testing 11. This is really something to take up with HP, it's the job of monitor software not to crash.

  • Drop down fields on Adobe reader for iPad

    Hello,
    Regarding using an order form in adobe reader for iPad, I am able to check boxes, free form text, etc. but drop down fields are not retaining selection.  I will click drop down, make selection, and field is still blank. If I select the same drop down my choice is checked. When I email form the field remains blank.
    Any help would be appreciated!!

    Hello,
    Thank you for the response.  I am currently using Adobe 11.01.  I believe I have found the problem.  Our company utilizes an app names "Showpad" for our sales teams.  Within Showpad you can open PDF's, however any interactive functionality is not available.  To solve for this, you can open a PDF within Showpad and then "open with" a different app.  In this case, I opened with Adobe Reader.  It looks like all the functionality returns to the document minus that drop down issue I am experiencing.
    I tried to open the same order form from my email using Adobe Reader and all functionality is available (including drop down).
    It looks as though something is getting lost between the Showpad app and Adobe Reader app.
