Issue/Request:

I have a fillable pdf file, but when I upload it to the site, it’s no longer a fillable PDF form.

Can you fix this? I’m guessing we need another file upload type added?

I’ll send you the fillable PDF via email in case you need to test it - feel free to upload to our site, the non-fillable form is uploaded now under the Merit Process Base Adjustment training guide.

Thanks!

Hi,

I just ran a quick test and here’s what’s happening. If you view the PDF as you would with any non-fillable PDF the user is unable to complete the fields. However if the PDF is opened with Acrobat Pro (which you’ll need to complete a fillable PDF) then you are able to complete the form. Nothing that Drupal can solve, it’s unrelated to Drupal (Nancy, Josue confirm) but it’s how you open the PDF to complete it.

I hope this helps.

Of course – that makes perfect sense – thanks for troubleshooting so quickly Kimberly. I’ll revise the instructions on the website.
