The blank spaces in the fields are characters Ě, Č, Ř - they appear only when the filed is activated.

I guess there is some problem in combination of PDF export from LibreOffice and Acrobat encoding of the form fileds.

Fill the form with Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat and it will work.

I do and it doesn't work. There seems to be some problem with encoding of generic font, that Acrobat uses for form fields.

I actuallly found a solution:

1. open the PDF in PDF-XChange Editor sofrware and resave

2. it repairs encoding

3. PDF form now works even in Acrobat

Same problem here. I did what you mentioned with the PDF-XChange Editor and worked great.

Definitely an Adobe problem.
