Same pdf if you open with Acrobat vs Broswer.

Web browsers use their own PDF mechanism to render and display the PDF content and they are not Adobe dependant.

Not sure what you mean. I can see the fields fine in both screenshots... But yes, you should use Adobe software (Acrobat or the free Reader) to open this file. Don't open it in your browser.

I was referring to the name field where says "test test test", it's not showing up in the Acrobat view.

The field is there. The value is not. Try filling it in using Acrobat...
