"Print form fields only" option not working on my MacBook Air—All I'm getting is blank pages.

 I'm using my MacBook Air (in case the operating system makes a difference) to try to print just the form fields of a pdf, which I downloaded to my computer rather than created myself, using Adboe Acrobat Pro. I have completely filled and saved the document / verified there are no active security settings that would prevent the form entries from printing, at least that I could find, and looked through all the other document & app properties & preferences, respectively, for something that might fix the issue, but to no avail. All I get when I select the "form fields only" print option is a bunch of blank pages. What's up with that?

I can only think of one thing - that maybe these aren't actually form fields any more. There are ways this can happen.

So please check this by going to one of the form fields and clicking in it - can you still type in the form field, changing what you typed before? Be sure you do NOT click Edit PDF at all, that isn't for form fields (it's quite the opposite).

Another possibility is that the fields themselves are set to "Visible, but doesn't print".
