Inserting a fillable form loses the fillable data

Post by nwmaugel »

I have PDF-XChange Viewer Pro 2.0 Build 57.0

Let's say FormA is a fillable form. If I fill in FormA and save it, the filled data will be saved as well. If I reopen FormA after having first filled it in, I will see my input fill data.

Now, let's say FormB is a different form. I take the filled FormA, insert it into FormB, and hit save. If I close and then re-open the now merged FormB, I find that my filled data is gone.

Why is this and what can I do to fix it?

HI nwmaugel,

unfortunately this is not supported in the current version of the Viewer. The good news is that it's ion the feature list for PDF-X Viewer 2011 due for release early in the new year.

Hi,

I have the same problem. My work-around is to "flatten commands" before merging.
