Fill PDF Forms troubleshooting

Common issues

  • If no fields are detected, the PDF may use XFA forms or flattened visual fields that are not interactive.
  • If a dropdown shows no options, the field definition in the source PDF may be incomplete.
  • If filled values do not appear in the output, verify the field names match and retry without flattening first.

Recovery steps

  1. Retry with a smaller sample file.
  2. Refresh and run the tool again.
  3. Use an alternative workflow from /tools if needed.
  4. Check /status for current incidents.

What this does not protect

  • Troubleshooting guidance does not guarantee recovery for damaged files.
  • It does not bypass document owner restrictions when cryptography is enforced.
