Limited information will be displayed if the formset is encrypted. Forms Merge PDF Output Displayed Incorrectly in Acrobat Reader Text is displayed incorrectly when Acrobat Reader is used to view archived PDFs or PDF email attachments generated by Forms Merge. The PDF text appears as a series of small boxes, while the text in the Forms Composer preview is displayed correctly. This occurs because the PDF output generated by Forms Merge does not contain the same font (Arial True Type) that Forms Composer uses to generate previews. To work around this issue, view Forms Merge PDF output using Foxit Reader instead of Acrobat Reader. Foxit Reader displays the PDF text correctly. Foxit Reader can be downloaded from: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php. If you want to email the output, use PDF/A. If you use PDF/A, you will need to upload the required true type font. PDF 1.7 Support The current Forms and Bar Code Card firmware only supports up to PDF1.6. PDF 1.7 may or may not be supported in futures releases for the supported printers listed above. Print Port Settings on the Forms Card Menu The Print Port Settings list on the Forms Card Menu always displays all port options (USB, Serial, and Parallel) regardless of whether all port options are available on a printer.
