Cannot fill PDFs at home but I can at work

[Head_Unit]

I have been making purchase orders at work in fillable PDFs. At home, I cannot click in the fillable fields, nothing happens. Both machines I'm using Preview, both are running Ventura. The PDFs are shared via OneDrive. The documents are not locked, the editing permissions seem OK.

???

For some reason, for me it doesn't matter if I click this button first or not, but see what happens when you click the Show Form Filling Toolbar button and play around with the options/tools it reveals to see if anything works.

Perhaps there's a DMS app installed on all office computers that handles PDFs by default as the primary scanned document organizer? That's the case in my office (here are a few examples of such software), and I sometimes forget that my laptop isn't exactly "equipped" for some of the tasks that I take home with me (it's definitely better for games, though...)

If it was a Windows machine, but in this case I'm using Mac Preview so I don't think that applies. I guess I could try this when back home and when Support is available...
