Question

Testing print to PDF, and getting an error

So I'm testing one of my forms on another computer as a person who wouldn't have an Adobe PDF printer, who would need a PDF printer to print only the fields that have been filled, who downloads and installs a popular one such as "CutePDF writer", and then I tested..

After I printed and created a document, I opened it and got two blank pages with this error message on the second :

ERROR: undefined

OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec

STACK:

/quit

-dictionary-

-mark

Can someone say why?

Thank you.

What are you trying to accomplish? CutePDF may be popular but it's support for the wide variety of PDF functionality is not exactly robust.

I'm just putting myself in the shoes of a person who wants to use an Acrobat form on their computer with Reader, fills it, wants to print it in PDF instead of on their physical printer in order to mail it to other people (without the form buttons, checkbox, etc.)

I don't know what this random person is going to use, it is a test. I just want to know what does it mean if she runs into this error?

They just need to save the form. There's no need to print from PDF back to PDF; that's ALWAYS problematic. You can add a button to "lock" the form which would turn the fields to be read-only and then hide itself as well as the other buttons.
