Printing Form Field Data Only does not work.

[ketter]

In Acrobat, we use the Typewriter tool to add text to a PDF. We can then print using the Print "Form Field Data Only" option and the Typewriter tool text will be printed, but not the background PDF image. In PDF-Xchange Viewer Version 2.0 Build 42.8, we use the Typewriter tool to add text to a PDF. Then we print using the Print "Form Field Data Only" option, but all we see is a blank preview and nothing prints. Is this a bug? Any chance of getting this fixed soon?

Thanks!

A Typewriter object isn't a form field, and I don't know why Adobe prints it when you set "Form Field Data Only" option.

I don't know why either, but Acrobat v8.0.1 treats it as one when printing. We ended up using Acrobat to add some text form fields and saving the PDF. Then the PDF XChange Viewer users were able to use the form and get the desired result.

Maybe this could be an enhancement...either treat typewriter text as form field when printing or add another option to the print dialog that says print only typewriter text (or whatever the text is categorized as). And if there isn't enough request for that feature, we will just keep using a combination of Acrobat and PDF XChange Viewer to do it.

Thanks,

Maybe will be not so bad to add in Print options 'Markups only'.
Now there is 'Document', 'Document and Markups', 'Document and Stamps', 'Form fields data only'

... just suggestion, but can be usefull

It is very easy to implement. Will be added into the next release

Sweet! It is great to work with companies that are as responsive as yours. Makes me glad we chose to purchase XChange Viewer PRO.

Thanks Ken for the kind words - but you should always wait for it to arrive first
