Some of our clients received pdf's created with/on Macs and can open it with Acrobat Reader (or Nitro) on PCs, but lots of filled in data missing. If redirecting to an iPhone, it opens properly.

Try opening a pdf file and choosing the option "tile >> vertically" on the window menu.

KMaxwell72 option Tile > Vertically - didn't work.
Adrian Cozma - Unfortunately cannot attach the file, we're in the insurance business and it's confidential. The file was definitely created on a Mac device and we're trying to open it on a PC with various PDF readers.
