FILLED IN INFORMATION WON'T GET PRINTED

There are three types of Adobe PDF forms:

Fill-and-print PDF forms are typically digital presentations of paper forms. Fill-and-print forms may contain interactive form fields or static form fields; either way, the user must manually deliver the form, such as via postal mail or fax machine.

Submit-by-email PDF forms contain a button that either extracts the form data from the PDF form and attaches that data to an email message or attaches the filled-in PDF form to an email message.

Submit on-line PDF forms contain a button that sends the form data to an online repository, such as a database.

What type of form did you create ?


If you created the form correctly, The data you entered into the fields should print.

In the Print dialog box, normally, near the upper right, there is a drop down menu item named "Comments and Forms" - the default is "Document" - in my forms, I normally add a "Print" button.

What can I say - oh, I will tell you what MY boss tells me when I have a question - he says "Try this - RTFM."

He is one rude guy, and I hate that I work for myself.

Send me the form and I will see what you did - michaelejahn [at] gmail [dot] com

Yeah...What Michael said...details would be nice...the PDF form itself would be even better to aid in diagnosis.

Oh, does the form entry content actually show in print dialog box preview area?

If you're in a pinch and need to get this form printed you can try optimizing the PDF and flatten all form fields. Advanced > PDF Optimizer...select Discard Images category and check the Flatten form fields box. Now try printing again.

Hello there,

I tried this and it worked!! Thanks. Now I have to have this form accessible in a "shared drived" for our department staff to use. All they would need to do is to open this form in the drive, fill it out and print it. I sent this form to my personal e-mail and I was able to open it, fill in the "fillable fields" but when I sent to print, the print preview did not show all the filled in information. Do you think this is a security issue??

Thanks for all your help,

Angel
