How to print only the form field data using Acrobat 7

Learn how to print only the form field data without printing the PDF form itself.

Is there a way to print only the form field data without printing the PDF form itself? For example, is it possible to keep the field data in the same place on the page to print out on a pre-printed form?

When you select File > Print in Acrobat, you will need to indicate under Comments & Forms: Form fields only. See Figure 1 below.

Hi Daniel Moreno,

You’ll need Acrobat Std. or Pro. and not just the free Reader.

Thanks,
Lori

Hi Patricia,

There isn’t a setting for this in Reader. You might consider making the background non-printable for these situations. Like on a layer or watermark.

Thanks,
Lori

I can print the fields only in a form created from Acrobat Pro. But if I send the file to someone who just has Acrobat Reader, they don’t have the choice of fields only when they print. Makes it useless for us. Is there a way to change that?

I have selected form fields only in adobe acrobat x pro, but when i open document in adobe acrobat 9 and try to print in Comments and Forms i only have (Document, Document and Markups, Document and Stamps) but no Form fields only.

Hi - try using the Document and Markups selection.
