BUG: Fill & Sign -- Can't Save/Exit After Number of Objects

Report · Feb 20, 2017

I'm trying to fill out a form my DJ gave me for our upcoming wedding. Spent hours on it only to find that I couldn't save it when I was done.

After some troubleshooting, I determined that it appeared to be linked to the number of "fill" objects (text box, circle, strike-through, etc.) in the PDF. I'm including a link at the bottom to download the document to assist in reproducing the problem.

My system:

Windows 7 Enterprise (latest updates)

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015.023.20056 (latest currently)

Repro steps:

Open PDF in Reader DC.
Click Fill & Sign (right side).
(optional) To show the bug is not occurring yet:
1. Click Fill & Sign at the top left.
2. Choose Back to Document.
  NOTE: This will close out Fill & Sign mode as you would expect. You are able to do things like Save As, etc.
3. Go back into Fill & Sign mode.
Go to page 7 and scroll about half-way down to "c)"
Create a text box in the Name blank and type "Lauren Dzurella ???"
Click Fill & Sign at the top left.
Choose Back to Document.
NOTE: This will not close out Fill & Sign mode. You are not able to Save, Print, Email, Upload to Cloud, or switch to other modes like Comment.
