Textboxes of with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 created PDF arent printable, hiding are also not possible

Hello,

I created a PDF on PC with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017. Inside the PDF are some Textboxes, which can be set on "hidden = true" (JavaScript) by clicking a radiobutton. Everything works fine on PC. But if I want to use it on iPhone/iPad, the hide-function doesnt do anything.

 

2. Problem:

If I want to print the filled PDF from iPhone/iPad, some textboxes with numbers (= datatype of the boxes) are empty. The values ​​are also not displayed in the print preview. Other textboxes with textes inside are fine.

 

Any idea whats wrong?

Hi Timo_S,

 

Hope you are doing well.

Thank you for posting your query here. As @Bernd Alheit mentioned, Adobe does not support all the javascript features for the time being. It's in a future enhancement pipeline. You will get an official announcement as well as a notification when this will roll out.
