A couple of situations need explanation:
1. I create a form in some program and print to pdf. Then in PDF exchange viewer I add a logo, a link, and some other text. I save.
It looks fine in pdfxchange viewer. - It prints fine on some printers. On some printers it prints with parts missing. In pdfxchange editor most of the page is blank.
2. Some files with stamps or comments saved in a pdf document do not print right or view properly in some programs or on some printers. They also do not show properly in PDF xchange editor.
I had assumed that if I flattened the document in viewer, then the stamps, and comments would show properly in Editor. They do not.
If I print these files from Viewer to pdf using the print Document and markups setting, then everything shows properly.
I assume this is an issue with layers, but I need a way to make comments or add stamps which will show in any printer (like the print to pdf version) and in any viewer (like Editor). In order to make a file I could view in pdf editor, which required printing using pdfxchange, the 36K pdf file became 1.67 Megabytes.
I'll be glad to upload files if you like.
Thanks

Hi sshank,
thanks for the post. Yes your supporting files wouldf be needed. When you upload them be sure to put them in a zip archive or they will be stripped from the post.
Also if you can detail exactly what each file is and how it was used so we can attempt reproduce the issue here it would be helpful.
Sincerely

Re: Editor not showing what viewer shows
I make checklists for myself and my clients. I use an old program and print to pdf from that program. Then I add a stamp that has my logo on it, or may simply insert the logo in a table cell on the form. I may insert images of check boxes for them to check. Somehow, and I don't remember, I add a link to the Creative commons license with their logo. I don't remember how I made those forms. Anyway, they don't appear properly PDF Editor, though they are perfect in Viewer. I solved the problem from a functional point of view by printing to pdf from the viewer, however I lost a link I had.
I had tried simply Flattening them and saving in Viewer, but that did not resolve the issue.

Re: Editor not showing what viewer shows
Hello sshank,
Thanks for the sample file. This is actually a font issue and not a form one.
I managed to reproduce the problem here on my machine with build 302 of the Editor, but a colleague of mine from the dev team tested with the build currently in development (303) - and there is no problem in that build so it is already fixed and the fix will be available once build 303 is publicly released.
Regards,
Stefan
