Pdf form appears blank

BC-TW, This was the correct answer for my issue. After having the original user use Adobe Reader to complete the form, instead of MS Edge previewer, and resubmitting it there were no further issues. It may not be the correct issue for your case, but it was for mine. In addition, I tested this theory myself as well by using the same form. When opening the file with Adobe Reader the form date was present. Upon opening the same file with MS Edge previewer and editing the form and then saving as a PDF, the form data was no longer able to be seen via Adobe Reader, but was able to be seen when re-opening it via MS Edge previewer.

There seems to be an issue with saving a pdf via another program and then trying to use Adobe to open that said file. Hopefully Adobe can correct this in a future update. Ah I see. Thank you so much for the update. I apologize for any mix ups of our issues. Glad you are all set. Thank you for setting me straight. Also experiencing this problem field data does not appear until field is clicked in a document that has been created and used in Acrobat Pro ONLY i.

This is therefore at least an Acrobat problem. I've noticed that repeated openings of the same document result in different fields within the document being displayed - i. Also, just changing the display theme in Acrobat View, Display Theme, choose an alternate value will resolve the problem and display all the fields properly.

Does anyone's PDF form look this screwed up I did not purchase adobe, only need the reader. My HP laptop is new 4 months old Envy x Wherever i move the cursor and click the area will become partially readable but only in that area the previous area i clicked on will turn black. I have one staff member that is having this same problem. I have found no solution for this.

Help from Adobe would be much appreciated. Using Acrobat Pro DC- updated version via subscription. A collegue uses same and is able to see data in form fields, and I am unable to. Same here - the pdf fillable form was created using Adobe. I am running Adobe Same behavior happening as Zaniwoop. You shouldn't have to use edge or preview to see the pdf data.

Adobe - please send out a patch update on this. That "solution" doesn't work for me either. Adobe Reader is the problem. It is opening PDFs as blank when the same pdf can be opened in Chrome or other applications completely populated. Clicking on the cells where there should be text doesn't reveal anything.

This seems to be a new development in Adobe Reader; I haven't had the issue before today. Nothing is invisible, locked, transparent, etc.

Nothing changes. I've reinstalled Acrobat, trashed my prefs, restarted, etc. Now, here's where things get really screwy. Other people see the art in the pdf. If I print the page, the art prints. One thing should be checked i. With this disabling functionality, user force the viewer to show the PDF file outside the browser in the different window. After this step, try to view the file in the browser. Nevertheless, if the user is working on Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.

There are several drawbacks of using the manual approach such as lengthy and time-consuming procedure. Even, non-technical users find difficult to use the manual procedure. Apart from this, manual solution fails when PDF file is corrupted or damaged. And to fix PDF corruption issues it is advised to use a third-party solution. This utility resolves all the corruption issues and the blank page error.
