Why is a fillable pdf created on a PC, filled in on an Apple, and opened on a PC blank?

I have a fillable pdf on my website that whenever someone completes it using an Apple computer, saves it on their Apple computer, and then sends it to me to be opened on my PC, it's blank! Does anyone know how I can avoid this?

This is a known problem that occurs when a PDF form is filled-in and saved with the Preview application on the Mac, which is the default PDF viewer for Mac. Very simply, it corrupts forms. The fix is to get your users to install and use Adobe Reader. For more information, and for something you can do for the corrupted forms that you receive, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publis...
