I'm not sure where to post this so forgive me. I also posted in "Forms". I'm just desperate to figure this out.

Hi, at work we send out a pdf form to be filled out and emailed back to us. For those that have Acrobat, other wise they fax it back. In many cases, the text that is entered, we can't see unless we click the 'highlight' button, but when un highlighted, the text goes away. It will not print the added text either. We just can't figure out. We are on XP, Office 2007. We are not that knowledgeable about Acrobat, so help is needed. Thanks so much. Update on the product, it is Acrobat Professional 8.1.3

Or, if you don't hightlight the entire form, and just click on a field, the text will come up, but when you click off into another field, that previous text will go away and only the text that is in the field you are clicking in will be visible.

Ok so I found another post and it turns out that in the text field, you shouldn't have it as no fill, in this case. When I changed the fill to white, the text came through. Great!
