It looks like the test PDF that you've attached does not contain any fields and I see the following message "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. "
Try creating your PDF using another pdf creator. You can also use Microsoft Word if you're just trying to create PDF template and save as a PDF.

You should be able to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to create forms compatible with the PDF Doc From Template node but it seems your form hasn't been created in a way that it can be saved. Every time I open the form I get the attached warning:
"You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, please fill it and print it"
That seems to be the root cause.
Make sure to remove this restriction and double check this form was stored in LiveCycle Designer as a Static PDF Form and remove any write/save and password protection.
