Overcramming of words in a form

New Here ,
Sep 26, 2016 Sep 26, 2016

Hi, I just created a pdf form. When testing it I noticed that in some fields where the user enters the info, the words come out showing as crammed or over each other. Could you please tell me what I should do? I tried removing the field and inserting a new one instead but the same problem remains. Is it a problem of cell format? Does the fact that I try to align the cells effect the cell format? Thanks for your help.

I'm using helvetica.  But I'm using it in other places as well and I'm not getting this problem.  I'm attaching a screen shot.

It can look like that when you've accidentally duplicated a field, resulting in more than one at the same or almost the same location. So check for that and delete any duplicates.

It's easy to accidentally duplicate fields, which happens when a field is selected and you hold down the Ctrl key (Cmd on Mac) and move the mouse even slightly.

To check if you have duplicate copies of a field switch to the Form Edit mode and then sort the Fields List by name.

If a field appears twice (or more) in this format "FieldName", "FieldName#1", "FieldName#2", etc., then it's duplicated.
