Editing PDF form takes away some previously filled fields

Postby eiger3970 » Fri Jul 22, 2016 4:42 pm

Hello, I'm completing a PDF form and but some of the PDF's previously completed field entries are removed in Inkscape.
How can I stop Inkscape doing this please?

When you use Acrobat 8, or 9, select "enable usage rights" from the Advanced menu. This adds about 20 kb to the pdf. The other possibility is to use CutePDF Pro, add a submit button and have the XFDF data submitted to your self as an email or to a web server. The XFDF data can then reload the original PDF with your data.
