pdf fillable form not displaying field data
Copy link to clipboard

Hello.
I am running an application(visual basic) that makes several pdf files. The field data is in the fields designated. When opening the PDF with Reader or Acrobat Pro the forms field data is blank and they appear when I am clicking in. I have tried many things, but I can not find a solution.
Thanks

How does you fill the fields?

All the data come out of an excel file automatically and go to the corresponding fields I want

Yes, but what puts the field data into the form fields? If they are typed in, what app is used? If they are filled in programmatically, what API is used? Etc.

there are many macros as you can see below
and takes data from another Excel that has the data
and the fields have the same names as the Excel file

We have no ideas what your macros do. What API do they use?

Are you using specifically PDF Labs "PDFtk"? If so, you probably need to set the need appearances option.
