In the attached screen shot, on the left is Adobe Reader X, on the Right is PdfXchange. Its been going on for quite a few releases, on this same document, on the same page, the fields are duplicated, sometimes it puts text in both and makes it look terrible when plotted out, we basically have to open it in Adobe to print the document out, if we dont want to have the duplicate field.
The original file can be found here:

Perhaps it is just something wrong with their form, but I dont think form editing is yet a feature, and so right now, my only option may be to use Adobe to print it out.

Re: PDFXchange duplicates fields
This form contains some not well formed fields. Looks like Adobe doesn't follow PDF specification when loading AcroForm.

Hello Chris,
Yes - we do have it on the radar, but exactly when a form editing feature would be available in our products - I can not tell at this time.

Stefan

Re: PDFXchange duplicates fields
even after eliminating the duplicates, in Adobe (they no longer show up at all, as soon as I open the document in Pdf Xchange, it adds them back in, saying that the document needs to be saved? any suggestions for that?

Re: PDFXchange duplicates fields
Hello Chris,
Our devs just advised me that the forms behavior will be changed in ver3 - so please wait until then, and for now I am afraid that there is not much we could do in the current version.

Stefan
