Fillable forms in Chrome Browser

[jeannes97728250]

The PDF fillable form will not allow users to enter any data in the fields when the form is set to auto open in Chrome.  If downloaded it is working fine.  Any suggestions on how to allow the form to be interactive in the Chrome browser?  I do have the Adobe PDF viewer extension installed and active.

Is Adobe Reader installed?

Has Adobe Acrobat Reader in Chrome been enabled?

[jeannes97728250]

Yes.  The Adobe Reader plugin is installed and enabled.

But there isn't any such thing any more...

[jeannes97728250]

Sorry.  It is the PDF Viewer.  And it is enabled.  This plugin/extension allows a pdf to auto-open in Chrome and that is working.  Only problem is that all the interactive functionality of the pdf is gone.  If you download, it is ok.

Some forms cannot be filled using Chrome installs of Acrobat Reader.

When you view a PDF in a Chrome window it uses Chrome's built in PDF viewer, whatever add-ons you might have, and whether or not Acrobat Reader is installed. This is why forms aren't going to behave the same as if you opened them in Reader. It's a big problem and makes forms a lot less useful. All the browsers are going that way.

Right-click the link to the pdf, save it to your computer, open Reader and use File>Open to open the form.

Yes, but was hoping to avoid that extra step as many visitors accessing the form will not know to do that.  I guess I will need to add some additional information.  Thank you!
