Often just by filling out a form on a website, Firefox hangs and stops accepting the text. Can be thawed by starting another application unrelated.

It just happened during the filling in the details area. Firefox has agreed a text then froze. I just erased it by opening the program to the trash on the desktop (it seems to work with any program, I've tried). I had this problem for a few months and is not fixed by updates. It happened twice during the minting of these details. Although I can fix it, it's very annoying. I have no other problems with Firefox.

This could be potentially because of Add ons or extensions that handle auto completing forms. I recommend that you first make sure that each of your add ons and extensions are up-to-date:

In order to eliminate add ons or hardware acceleration, try Firefox Safe Mode:

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    click Help

    then select restart with disabled modules.

If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Fill out a form and send it to signatures, all in a single pass partially: can it be done?

    How to fill out a form, partially just fill some fields and leaving the rest to be filled later. How to partially fill a form AND send it also to the signature, in a single session. In one sitting.

    So, in other words, how a) partially fill a form, b) send him outside to collect signatures, c) get the form back, finish filling out and signing myself.

    All this is possible in one continuous pass (more or less)? I think it's possible, right? Create a form, then partially fill it out AND send it to the signing, also, at the same time?

    Hello Daniel,.

    If you are looking to counter sign the document after completing the fields as the sender, it can be achieved. You can add the email address of the signatory on the ground and also check, "I need to sign' last. Once the signer sign, you will receive the document to fill out and sign as well.

    We have auto save feature with which the signatory can fill in partial form and can close it. Once it reopens, it will have saved information.

  • When I fill out a form to fill out online I can't print or save it

    I am able to fill out a form to fill out, but it prints white and save empty. What could be the problem?

    I downloaded the form on this site and also the site of the Government. Security in the Properties section, explains the form should be the screen-fillable and printable. I use windows 7 and try to fill it in adobe reader. I normally don't need to have an expensive program just fill out a form and do not make changes. I know that the form is locked for editing.

    When I print after filling it out, or save it after filling, the form I get empty.

  • I'm filling out a form that is available on a site. When I click on the option to fill out and submit the form 'online' a pdf document is displayed in chrome with the following text "to display all of the content of this document, you need a later version

    I'm filling out a form that is available on a site. When I click on the option to fill out and submit the form 'online' a pdf document is displayed in chrome with the following text

    «To display all of the content of this document, you need a later version the viewer PDF.» You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html for further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html"

    Needless to day, I installed the latest version. I even reinstalled using the link in the message, but nothing helped. Whenever I click on the link to go forward, I get the same message. Question: (i) is it my PC/software (Vista), (ii) is the site where I'm trying to submit the form, or (iii) is it the software acrobat reader. Note that I used successfully the last version to fill out and sign forms.

    It is none of them. It's Chrome, which is ignoring Adobe Reader and showing the message.

    Solution: just save the document (with the message) to your desktop. Then open it in Adobe Reader. The 'real' should then display.

    I create a table (empty) and I used the wizard of forms to creata for her screen. Now how to fill out my form data in my table?

    Thanks for you advice.

    Jin
    If I have understood you.
    you used a valid database table, you have nothing to do to fill your table, just enter in values and press save.

    If you want to fill this table using a .csv file or like, you need to use webutil to download, it is many examples in this forum on how to achieve this.

    The PDF form must be extended drive in order to have this feature to save & print the form data.

    Please confirm by the PDF Creator is the PDF reader or not extended.

    Otherwise, if you have Acrobat installed on your system, you can reader extend PDF form yourself.

  • Is it possible for someone to insert a logo when you fill out a form to fill out? I'm looking for all the options under the button 'add a text field.

    I have created a form to fill out that is a contract, but I need a way for the person who is to fill the form to insert their logo.  Is it possible for someone to insert a logo when you fill out the form to fill out? I'm looking for all the options under the button 'add a text field.

    It is not possible within a text field, either. If they have Acrobat, they can use the built-in under Tools - editing content Add Image tool.

    If they drive XI or higher, they can use a button form field you will need to set up for them, but the image must be in PDF format.

    I saw many topics around the forum and google but nothimg seems to help me.

    In file-> properties-> security, 'Filling form fields' option is allowed.

    On the top of the file, it is written "Plaese fill out the form below. You can save the data entered in the form. »

  • Disable programmatic purple "fill out this form" header for reader/acrobat

    Hi guys.

    Hope this is an easy solution.

    I want my forms to open without showing that "Please fill out this form" purple header.

    Can it be coded around, say with something in the event docopen maybe?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Greg,.

    I'm pretty sure that you can't hide the Document Message Bar by using script. The user can disable preferences in Acrobat/Reader when they open the form.

    It seems that you have empty fields of Digital Signature in the form.  Acrobat Reader DC complete and sign will add a signature of annotation with a PDF file that has Acrobat form fields or fields of Digital Signature in it.  Test it by opening a PDF file that has no form fields or fields of Digital Signature in it and who is not protected by security permissions.

  • When you use the "Fill & sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to resize the text box, to an area of the page... rather than through a long straight line...?

    When you use the "Fill & sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to resize the text box on a specific area of the page... instead of the text box is in a long straight line...? I do not see there is an option or the ability to do so, just want to confirm.

    Improving the management of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you need to add manual carriage return (Enter).

    Thank you
