    Acrobat / Reader Crashing When Editing Form Values

    pealo1986

      I'm supposed to be designing an interactive PDF form for a client using InDesign. They have sent me their current one but I found whenever I try to enter a field value into a text field, it crashes whichever app I'm using to view it.

       

      I thought maybe the PDF was corrupted, so I created a new document from scratch with just one text field on there… and still they freak out just when I try to enter a value into it!

       

      I then opened it in Apple Preview, and they work fine. Both PDFs in fact.

       

      But in Acrobat / Reader all I get is the spinning wheel for ages and I have to force quit.

       

      I'm running the latest version of Acrobat XI Pro on Mac OS X Lion with Adobe CC

       

      Does anyone know what the problem might be? This issue is making the job hard to work on
