Can filled in forms be returned?

We need the filled out pdf form returned to us for an acceptance or rejection by us, along with our digital signature. Can this be done?

FormsCentral doesn't support digital signature.
You can create the form you need in FormsCentral and then use Acrobat and EchoSign to collect, complete and sign the form (I'm not quite sure I understand your workflow though).

What versions of Reader can fill-in forms?

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 and I am trying to create a short form. The recipients are not all computer savy and will have various versions of reader so I need this to be super simple.
I have been testing it and Reader 7 doesn't seem to be able to fill-in the form. I have not been able to find any documentation that states what versions of Reader can fillin forms to be returned.
I would also like to have the file emailed back as the filled form, but I understand I do not have to use "distribute forms".
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
C

Actually, the first version of Reader that could take advantage of Reader-enabled documents is Reader 5.1. The problem is backwards compatibility for documents that have been enabled with Acrobat due to various changes since Reader Extensions (usage rights) was first introduced. And for the sake of completeness, versions of Acrobat prior to 8 could apply certain usage rights (e.g., commenting, typewriter), just not those that allow saving a filled-in form.

Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

Okay so here's the deal.....
I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
Hope I make sense.

No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
to that using the source code.

How to change security so its locked but can fill out forms and then save?

Hey there, i want to know how to make a PDF document locked (so you can't change anything) but you can fill out the forms and them save then with the edits in the forms done? Is there anyway to do this? Or do i need to take some settings off. So far I have made it so someone can write int he box, but then they can't change the edits at all.
Thanks in advance.

Create your form.
go to advanced menu
choose the item about Reader Rights
when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.

Can filled out forms have their data changed?

1) I want to use Adobe online forms to take applications for a scholarship. Can my candidates revisit their form on different occasions to add / change their entered information?
2) Can I give a collaborator access to ONLY ONE filled out form?
AJ Willmer

Hi ajwillmer,
Unfortunately, we cannot add or change the data once the form is submitted. If the user submits the form twice, you will received 2 different response.
Also, we can give collaborator access on one particular form and it will be form all the responses received on that particular form.

How do I send out a pdf so that others can fill it out and return it via e-mail?

I have been trying to do this for a while and am wondering if I can or if I need a different program to be able to do it (if thats the case please let me knkow which one). I tried making a distribution list and sending it to myself and when I tried to open the link it took me to a black page that said Acrobat.com on it and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong? I even downloaded the latest reader and it still didn't work.

I assume you have figured out how to create a form. You will need to add a submit button. It is best to have the data submitted that you can easily import to the form if needed, or process separately. In Designer, you would select XML submission to a mailto:<address> format. In Acrobat, you would select FDF, XFDF, or XML to a mailto:<address> format. Be aware that email submission is risky in that you need the client machine to be running MAPI, something you have no control over.

How to save PDF with fields so someone can fill out form and send it to printer

Using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac, I built a pdf template with fields for
sending an assortment of Business Card files to the printer to print.
How do I save the file so my brother/client can start typing in different
names, job titles, and contact info and send them to a printer.
Thanks,

With new updates from Acrobat Read my computer freezes and I can not fill in forms anymore, how do I fix these problems?

After updating Acrobat Reader my computer now freezes when I try to fill in forms using Acrobat Reader, this never happen before! Now the only way to unfreeze my computer is to turn it off and restart it, which is not how a computer is suppose to be turned off as nothing responses to get it unfrozen(ESC., Contol-Alt-Delete)! The I shows up as if I am able to fill in forms, but after trying to fill in the form numerous times various ways, it always ends up freezing my computer up! I HATE THE NEW UPDATES! Why can't I speak with a live human, through Adobe? I would not want to buy anything from any company which would not allow me support by talking to a live human over the phone, as typing messages can be misunderstood! Their is no point to have Acrobat Reader any more if it does not allow me to fill in forms! I could use the reader that came with the computer! It is sad that for myself filling forms using Acrobat Reader was nice since there are times I am unable to write anything due to tremors, unfortunately I am not alone in this type of medical problem and we the disabled the majority of us are on Social Security! Everyone know that Social Security does not give their recipients enough money to live off of! It is sad when a person is ill they lose more than their livelihood, so called friends abandon you too! So how can I fix the freezing problems and is there any Adobe that I can fill in forms which will not cost me money and or another company that may offer this free of charge?

Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

Hi Tarek
Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
My Workflow as follows
1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple and free ADOBE READER.
That's it !!
could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Ajo Joseph

iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

How can a respondent save an uncompleted form and return to it later?

How can a respondent save an uncompleted form and return to it later?

There is no way to save a web form. Our PDF forms do support this (you can open in Adobe Reader, fill, save, return later, fill and submit)

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Can no longer fill out form--what happened?

I have an important form saved on my computer that had a typo in it, so I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro X, corrected the typo, then deleted the free trial. However, when I open the form with Adobe Reader I can no longer fill out the form. I was able to fill out the form just fine before I edited it with the free trial of Pro X. Is there any way I can fix this? I did not change any settings (as far as I know), I only corrected a typo in the form and now I am having the problem of no longer being able to fill it out. I appreciate any help, the form is for an important job application.

If the document was Reader-enabled so that Reader was able to save the filled-in form, and you used Acrobat to make changes to the text on a page (as opposed to text in a form field), the usage rights were removed. The modified document will have to be Reader-enabled, which is done with Acrobat.

I am creating a web form from a template and I need to change a field. It is just a text field at the moment but I need to change it to a field that the customer can fill in. How do I do this?

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

Adobe Acrobat form can be opened in Adobe Reader but no one can fill it out. Why not?

So I created a form for my job that my co-workers and clients need to be able to fill out. It was created in Acrobat and while others can open it in their Adobe Reader they are unable to edit any of the fields/fill the form out. Any ideas what might be causing this or what I might do to fix this?
Thank you,
Sara

Hi There,
So I found out where I'm running into the problem. The document works fine as long as I don't have a submit button included (something that is added via Acrobat) - if the submit button is removed and I save it - the document can be opened and edited in Reader. However, if it has the submit button, nothing works. Do you have any idea what would cause this disconnect between acrobat and reader? It makes no sense to have "add button" as a feature if it doesn't work outside of acrobat.
Thanks,
Sara
