Editable pdf file that can be saved

Working with Acrobat X. I have created an editable PDF file that i sent to my customer. They enter their information and all is good, BUT they can't save the file only print.
Is there something else I need to do to make this possible?
Traci

Whenever I see "customer" in a question like this I try to remind folks of the limitation of the license for 500 uses. Not requiring the extra step is an option for Reader XI as mentioned. The other way is to have any data submitted as a data file (FDF) rather than the whole form. When you import the data file into the form you get the same result. The customer can just print the form for their records.

  • My macbookpro is not opening pdf sites from safari or firefox, it goes to the address but just gives me a black screen. I can however open a pdf file that I have saved on my HD, it opens on preview. any thoughts?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I do not get a readable or editable PDF file that has been converted to Microsoft Word.

    In the past I have been able to convert PDF files to MicroSoft Word, and Edit and Save the Documents. Now, the converted files are unreadable and uneditable. How do I correct this problem?

    Thanks for the email, Stacy!
    I don't have an old PDF file that I converted to MicroSoft Word, however the new file that I am trying to convert and edit is the same kind of file that I've converted and edited before; An Invoice from the same Company. Is there a possibility that a download, MicroSoft Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System, onto MicroSoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 computer might be causing the problem? Should I download to (.doc) or (.docx)? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Joseph,
    I'd like to assist!
    Have you tried converting one of your old PDF's that have worked in the past to see if it still works?
    Are these files scanned to PDF files?
    You may want to try utilizing the OCR solution.
    Let me know if that works.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you!
    Kind regards, Stacy

  • What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

    Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
    After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
    What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Richard

    Mr. Clark,
    You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
    Does your Print dialog look like this:
    Or like this:
    If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

  • How to create PDF files that can't by copied by MAC

  • Create a PDF file that can be opened in PS

    Hello,
    I a cartographer that is creating a map with thousands of contour lines (among many other layers) in .ai.  Unfortunately, I can't open this map in PS.  PS will think for upwards of 10 hours trying to rasterize this file (and at that point it was about 1/100th converted).  If I turn the contour layer off, PS can open/rasterize the file in a matter of minutes.
    My goal is to open this .ai file in PS and then save it as a .tiff for printing. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?  FYI, I have opened this file in InD and exported it as a PDF, but PS can't open it either.
    Thanks,

    Hello Larry,
    I have an information plug-in that gets a little more specific.  In all I have 850,000 verticies (2 points and a connecting line segment) which equates to about 5,250 paths.  I can't simplify too much, however, I have simplified the paths 5 x at 99%.  If I try to simplify at just 95% my contour lines will not line up with my streams and valleys.
    Do you know the maximum amount of verticies that can be handled?
    Thanks,
    kru

  • Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Why Adobe Reader XI cannot open a pdf file within a browser that can be opened with Reader 9?

    Hi Steve,
    Sorry, I cannot post a URL to the file because it is for intenal use only.
    I noticed that the pdf file can be opened outside of IE browser if I disable the Adobe Reader add-on (active-X) in IE browser. If I enable the Reader add-on, the Reader cannot complete the file download. The progress bar goes in a half way, and stays there.
    Just FYI, the pdf file was created by Distiller 7. Do you think it is the issue of Reader add-on? Thanks.

  • Can I insert a pdf file that can be downloaded

    I am a teacher who would like to post downloadable pdf files for students to access when they are absent and can't get the homework.  Can this be doen and if so how?

    Don't give a try and put the burden on your visitor.
    If you have pdf files, publish pdf files.
    Create a link to these files and publish the webpage.
    Then your visitor can either right-click and choose save file or click the link to open the pdf in a browserwindow.
    He then can decide to save the pdf.
    Try the offered solutions on a iPad.
    What do I do with the zip file?
    I rather save the pdf in iBooks for further reading.

  • How can I increase the number of .pdf files that can be open at once from 20?

    I like the new integrated pdf viewer in Firefox a lot because I'm constantly browsing datasheets at work. However, it seems to have a limit of 20 simultaneous files. The machine I'm working has no danger of running out of memory any time soon, so is there a setting I can change to increase this limit?
    Thanks.

    hello michael, this limit is not directly related to pdf-files in the internal viewer, but you can try the following to work around the issue: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''dom.workers.maxPerDomain'''. double-click the preference and set it to a higher value.

  • Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

  • Is there a format for at PDF form that can be filled out, saved locally and edited continually afterwards?

    hello
    on the html-based form http://www.samtaleterapi.com/oversigter/psykoterapi.html there isnt the functionality i want
    it can only be filled out and printed
    what i want is a form that can be filled out, saved locally on people's own computers, and  and that the local copy can be edited and saved anew continually
    can PDF do this?
    can the end users edit and save the form with no other program than adobe reader?
    if so, is this a specific format of PDF?
    and if so, how do i create it?
    thanks
    rasmus

    You can indeed create a PDF form that can be opened, filled out and saved by users of Adobe Reader. It simply requires one of the later versions of Adobe Acrobat. It has a function to enable this ability in PDF's.
    The one down side is that there are usage limits (how many times form data can be collected) that you would want to familiarize yourself with in advance to be sure you don't violate the EULA. Exactly how thos limitations work are up to interpretation...

  • How to get PDF file that has been transformed into docx into my filing system so I can work on it???

    How can I get the PDF file that was transformed into a docx file into my filing system to be able to work on it and translate it as the customer requested?

    THanks for your reply.
    Well what happens is I bought the program. It gives you a button to click,
    you log in and then a box opens up asking you to select the file, I go into
    my filing system (in Windows explorer) select the file, and the program
    converts it into docx, my choice.  I can read it there and when I try to
    copy and paste it into my file where the PDF version is saved, it behaves
    like an "image", and I can't save it.... or it saves likes something you
    save on the internet, so you have to go into internet every time you want
    to see it.    I have also pressed any amount of buttons to see if it will
    give me the option to save it any other way, and have found nothing.  What
    I would need is a file in docx.format that I can edit.  People send me
    things in PDF and sometimes I can just copy it off the PDF file and save it
    in WOrd, then I can translate it for them. But sometimes the PDF file
    doesnt allow me to copy the text.  If it is in image form, I cannot work on
    it.  It means printing it, so I can copy type it into Word... and for that
    I certainly wouldnt need to buy a program.  Its just double the work and
    ends up that the job takes twice as long.!
    Sorry  if I am a bit dumb with informatics.  But I simply could not find
    any way whatever to  copy the PDF file that was transformed into Word, in a
    format that would enable me to edit it.
    Kindest regards,
    Margery
