I've recieved a pdf-form from another person. When I just look at it, some of the text-fields are empty - but when I click on the text-field, the text shows. When I move away from the field again, the text disappear once again. It only happens in some of the text-fields in the pdf-form - not all of them.
How can this happen? What is wrong?

Hmm... Now I can see that it depends on how I open the file. If I open with Adobe Reader, the text is missing (but appears when clicking on the text field) - but if I open the file with Chrome, I can see the text without having to click on it.
What is wrong with the file since this difference?

The form was not filled with Acrobat Reader. You will see this issue when the form was filled with Apple Preview.

Thanks for the reply.
But shouldn't it then accour on all the text fields? The issue is only in some of the fields - not all.

Apple has gotten better at filling forms but it's still really broken. I've put a tool to fix the form here. It's a staged version of my updated site but at least that page is working. Don't bother browsing around though, not everything is active yet.
