MobileDevCK Jul 24, 2014 6:43 AM (in response to Klaussic)We would like to examine your PDF form to properly diagnose the problem.
Could you send your PDF form to adobereader-ios@adobe.com as an email attachment? Please add the link to this forum post (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1529372) in your email message for reference.
Thank you for your help.

MobileDevCK Jul 24, 2014 9:59 AM (in response to Klaussic)The filled version of your PDF document (20140722 Daily Meeting Report...pdf) is no longer a PDF form because it has been flattened.
Once an interactive PDF form (such as your template version) is flattened, all form fields are replaced with images of filled data. You can no longer interact with form fields, edit form data, or tap/click any buttons in the flattened PDF document. That is the reason why the text in auto-size text fields did not shrink.
When you email a PDF document (including a PDF form) in Adobe Reader for iOS, the E-mail Document dialog is displayed.
In this particular case, your team member must have selected "Share Flattened Copy".
If you would like to keep the interactivity of a PDF form, you can select "Share Original Document". Please advise your team members to select the "Share Original Document" option when emailing filled forms.
Unfortunately, once flattened, a PDF document cannot be reverted back to the original "unflattened" state. However, if your team members still have the original filled forms, they can resend the forms with the "Share Original Document" option.
Please let us know if you have further questions.

Klaussic Jul 24, 2014 11:17 AM (in response to MobileDevCK)Thank you! We thought that it had to be a flattened copy in order to send the information typed in the form. We thought also that a “Shared Original Document” would only send the original document as it was before filling in data. We tried sending the “Shared Original Document” with all the needed data and we had to realize that we were wrong. It does show the filled in text when it arrives at its destination.
Thanks again for your help, the issue is solved.
Kind regards,
Klaus Sichelschmidt
