Fillable forms showing blank when filling on a Mac

Question

I have read through several discussions and have not found an answer that works for me. I downloaded a fillable form from my employer. Opened it in Adobe Acrobat, filled it out, then uploaded to a website. When opened on the website it shows up blank. Adobe also does not give me the option to print to PDF. I have tried different browsers as well. If I send the PDF in an email to someone they can open it and see the filled in text. I have also tried uploading to a different website and it is still blank. All systems and software are updated to the lates versions. Colleagues with PC's do not seem to be having the same issue.

- Many browser PDF plugins are sub-par and will not display form fields correctly. There's nothing we can do about that. Stick with Adobe software and it should work fine.

- The Adobe PDF printer is not available on Mac computers (due to an Apple policy). You can flatten the files, though, which will convert the form fields to static contents, and ensure they will be visible even outside of Adobe applications.
