Existing PDF into Extendable fillable form

I have an existing PDF with fillable fields. Now I need to make some of these fillable fields extendable. I have learned that I need to open these existing PDF's into LiveCycle and create SubForms and make them Flowable. Which then loses most of the formatting the existing PDF has. In essence, am I just recreating the PDF since I lose most of the formatting due to making the subforms and the page flowable for the extending of form fields to work??? This has been extremely frustrating. Any information is appreciated.

You can still achieve this with out reformatting the PDF. Setting up the Page to be Flowed is the last change you do. Before that you need to wrap all the fields into "Positioned" subformed based on their alignment.
Your heirarchy might looks like this after the changes.
Page1 (Flowed)
     Subform 1     (Positioned) Holds Static Fields
     Subform 2     (Flowed) Holds Expandable Fields
     Subform 3     (Positioned) Holds Static Fields
     Subform 4     (Positioned) Holds Static Fields
     Subform 5     (Flowed) Holds Expandable Fields
     Subform 6     (Positioned) Holds Static Fields
Thanks

"Adobe" is a company. If you mean "Adobe Reader" then you can't (at least not easily). You need Adobe Acrobat for that.

When editing a PDF document with fillable forms, I get an unhandled exception error when scrolling past the first page

The first error is "An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in Acrobat.exe [4644]"
A debug window comes up after this and I open Visual Studio (not my area of expertise), and a couple more messages come up that may be helpful.
Unhandled exception at 0x625628db in Acrobat.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000044.
Then
[Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for AcroForm.api]
This is on Windows 7, running Acrobat Pro version 9.5.5
No new updates are available either.
Any ideas where to start? This happens with a couple of documents, but not all that are being edited.

I am also getting the same error for fill-able PDFs. Were you able to find an answer/solution for this problem?
I am using Acrobat X Pro on Windows 7
Any help would be appreciated..

Generating PDF report as fillable form

Dear All,
I was wondering if the following is possible:
I want BI Publisher to generate a PDF file, where some fields have been populated from our datasource, and others can still be filled in by the user in as fields.
Is this possible using BI Publisher?

Hi,
I have a similar complication here. There seem to be problems in
the report builder that calculate wrong coordinaces, sizes, etc.
For example if I insert an image and resize it in a report, the
PDF output is really nice. But the RTF file is a complete
nonsense. Nether the size, not the position of the image is
correct :((
I am looking for solutions, but I have no idea about these
problems.
On the other hand I cannot embed a font in a PDF. Finally I
cannot use any of the mechanisms for generating web reports -
the PDFs have no cyrillic characters, the RTFs cannot display
images correctly. The HTML/HTMLCSS are not solution for
paging/controlling the printing output... Any ideas for help?
Thanks.

Issue while changing fields in a fillable form PDF (Acrobat 10.1.4 Pro)

Good Afternoon!
This is my first time posting here, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
I am an IT technician trying to support a user who is trying to change a PDF into a fillable form using Acrobat 10.1.4. She is trying to use the wizard as shown in the image below:
When she uses this function, Acrobat goes through and automatically detects all possible fields and creates them for her. Below is an image of the result:
What she is trying to do is change some of the field types - specifically, she wants to change the box next to "Adult/non-college request" to a check box. She right clicks on this field to change it, and when she does, Acrobat simply closes. No error comes up, and she is not given the option to save the document - when she opens it again, it is an ordinary PDF. In addition, if she creates the form, and then only tries to save the form (without trying to change the fields), Acrobat again simply closes itself. However, she is able to manually create fillable fields if she does not use the wizard at all, and the document functions normally.
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated.

Save early and often.
I would save the result right after the wizard has made its errors.
One needs to delete the form field and then manually add the correct type of field. If you want that check box and the next to be mutually exclusive, one gives them the same name and sets the export value for each check box to a unique value.
I edit forms by opening the "Tools => Forms => Edit fields".

PDF Fillable Forms: Is Pro Required to save results?

I am working on a project for a doctor who processes about 50 forms each day. He emails the forms in PDF format to his clients, who then print them out then sent the to the doctor by fax or via snail mail.
He then has to pay his assistant to type in all the fields into Word so the results may be saved digitally on his Intranet.
I would like to find a way to save him time, money and trees.
My idea is to create the forms in PDF format as fillable forms. His clients could fill them out on their computers, attach a digital signature and then email him the results.
Would Adobe Acrobat Pro be required for his clients to save the completed form with a digital signature then email the completed forms? Are there any reasons why using fillable forms for this is a bad idea?

>Would Adobe Acrobat Pro be required for his clients to save the completed form with a digital signature then email the completed forms?
No. They can use Acrobat Standard as well. There is a way (using Pro) to enable the forms for Reader users so they can save them afterward.
> Are there any reasons why using fillable forms for this is a bad idea?
If they plan on having the form filled out and saved in Reader (after enabling it) there is a 500 use limit. It's basically not a good option for business use. Unfortunately, to enable it for anything higher than the 500 use limit requires a very expensive server side option.

PDF printing out background placeholder text in fillable forms

I'm trying to print out a PDF which has fillable form fields. The Date of Birth text field has a faint grey placeholder text dd/mm/yyyy. Everytime those fields are filled in, the dd/mm/yyyy will also print out in the background. Is this an option that can be turned off or is it something to do with how the form was made?

Hi Daniel O'Toole,
Please help with the below listed information for further assistance on this.
1) Version of Acrobat/ Reader being used.
2) Os being used
3) Please attach a sample file to test.
Thanks,

PDF'd Fillable Form / Checked Boxes do not Appear in E-Mail

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows XP, Word 2003
I made a doc in Word, created a form, added check boxes, all good. I fill out the form as needed, check specific boxes as needed, and submit via email to vendors to place orders.
Everyone gets the check boxes themselves, but several have said that none of the boxes are physically checked (X). All other entered info is present.
Thanks for any help.
KE

I'm sorry. I made the Word doc, then used Adobe Pro to convert the Word doc into a fillable form. Using Designer I added the check boxes. Saved and closed.
I open the form, fill it out, select certain check boxes, and email. The selected check boxes do not appear on some computers.

Fillable form fields for an Employee Performance Review ?

So i've designed our Employee Perfomance Review in InDesign, exported the PDF and created form fields in Acrobat 9. The goal is to have a PDF that contains fillable form fields for our yearly reviews that can be filled out, saved, and re-opened and edited again in Adobe Reader. They will need to be edited by several people from different computers.
The problem i'm running into is this: Each employee will have at least two supervisors contributing to their reviews. So, this form needs to be able to be edited by one person and saved, then forwarded to the next person who would in turn add their comments. The second reviewer would then save their information, send it back to the first reviewer, who would finalize the document, save it digitally and print it out so we would have a hard copy.
The main goal is to have a document that can be passed back and forth and remain editable.
I can use the Distribute Form option in Acrobat, but this information needs to be accessable by the completer of the form and HR only, and not myself. Using Distribute form would require HR to purchase a version of Acrobat to distribute the forms and access the information...either that or they would have to use my computer to distribute the form and recieve responses.This still doesn't solve my main problem. From everything I have seen, the distributed forms can only be submitted, and not saved or passed around.
If the PDF is sent out as an attachment, it can be filled out and printed to PDF to save it digitally, but it can't be edited again in Reader.
I'm looking for a way to utilize Acrobat for this, and not resort to using Word or some other program. The reason we upgraded to Acrobat 9 in the first place was because we thought it would make this process work. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
aaardvrk

Thanks. It looks like we're covered under 15.12.3(b) since this document will only be distributed to about 10 supervisors. I interpret this to mean that we can use this document as many times as we like as long as the total number of Users (supervisors) doesn't exceed 500.
"For any unique Extended Documnent, you may either (a)... ; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such Recipients."
Thanks again.
