Do not open it in a browser, or on a mobile device. Only on a regular desktop computer, and make sure to save it locally and then open it directly in Reader. Also, make sure to update Reader to the latest version available.

Ok, that shouldn't be happening unless... there is one possibility. When you downloaded the PDF, did you do it by choosing "Print to PDF"? If so, you must not download it that way, it loses the form fields and much more.

What happens when you open the form with Acrobat Reader DC?
