Completing "Fill-in" Forms
Occasionally, when using an older version of Adobe Reader and completing a "fill-in" form created in a newer version of the reader, the text you enter will be deleted as soon as you tab to the next field. If the text is entered a second time, the text will not be deleted. However, to avoid this problem, you should upgrade to a newer version of the PDF Reader.
Printing Files
In some cases, when printing documents in PDF file format, some or all of the text may run together with no spaces between the words. However, the text displays properly on the screen. This problem can nearly always be resolved by installing the most recent printer driver available for your printer You may be able to obtain a free printer driver update from your printer manufacturer's web site.
