Does any one know why this is happening? I save the PDF and then place in into indesign and all the interchangable text overlaps with in the document. its not a font problem. I am so confused why this is happening. Please help!

Check to see if the fonts in the PDF and form fields are embedded. In Acrobat, go to File > Document Properties > Fonts  this will list the fonts and their status.

Is InDesign even supposed to be able to place fillable form fields?

Is it a PDF form? The fields are overlapping because they need this space. But on print it should not be visible.

It is just a PDF. when i print it from the Indesign file it prints like it shows in the file. it is overlapping and unreadable.
