Can you share this form?

I guess it's a XFA-PDF form, only supported by Acrobat desktop.

Open the XFA form in Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac.

Acrobat Reader on iPad can't open the XFA form.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
