Thank you! That worked! Under ''Text Field Properties" > "General" > "Common Properties" > Form Field was set to "Visible But Doesn't Print". I changed this to "Visible" and now it works. Why they even have an option for "Visible But Doesn't Print" is strange, but glad you were able to help me!

We are sorry for the trouble. As described, printing the forms with fillable fields results in blank print out.
