Question

Using Fill & Sign with Thai Language

Came across a bit an unusual situation using Acrobat DC - I'm trying to edit a PDF with text fields to fill out a form using Fill & Sign.

Note: It's just a plain PDF, no Acrobat/other form fields highlighted.

When I fill things out in English (or Japanese or Chinese or most languages) the text fields save correctly.

But when I try to fill out something in Thai, the text fields disappears right after I close the Fill & Sign.

Spent an hour with Adobe chat support but didn't get anywhere. My best guess is it has something to do with Thai font licensing issues.

Has anyone come across a similar issue with other languages/fonts before? Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks,

Aaron

Hi aaronlynnme ,

Would request you to please type the information in MS word (which you wants to have on PDF document). Then Copy & Paste that information into the PDF file .

Check whether it works for you or not.

Thanks for suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't.

Here's a screenshot showing what I mean - the Thai text appears in Fill & Sign mode no problem, but once I click that "X" in the top-right to go back to the normal PDF, it disappears. Anything typed in English works normally though.
