ACORD_137CA_2007_01.unlocked.pdf does not properly declare its form fields. Its catalog looks like this: 851 0 obj <</Type/Catalog/Pages 844 0 R>> endobj The PDF specification ISO 32000-1 requires in section 12.7.2 Interactive Form Dictionary: The contents and properties of a document’s interactive form shall be defined by an interactive form dictionary that shall be referenced from the AcroForm entry in the document catalogue As ACORD_137CA_2007_01.unlocked.pdf does not have an AcroForm entry in its catalog, any software processing it may assume that it does not have any form fields. ACORD_137CA_2007_01_locked.pdf, on the other hand, has this catalog: 1 0 obj<</Pages 2 0 R/Type/Catalog/Names 1177 0 R/AcroForm<</Fields[13 0 R]/DR<</Font<</Helv 7 0 R/ZaDb 21 0 R/ArialMT 10 0 R>>>>/DA(~uÖi±%8Eê6Ó¶:)/XFA[(\)Y€gõe)1179 0 R(2RÜvö)1181 0 R(%X Êsða})1183 0 R(y'ézò`jxøo)1185 0 R(5\\Ûlôak)1187 0 R(~EÊ%éqh)1189 0 R]>>/Metadata 1191 0 R>> endobj As you can see, it properly declares its form.
