Filling out forms...duplicate fields

Hello everyone! I hope someone can help me out =)
I am (trying) to fill out an application online for a job.
Problem:
The text keeps duplicating on the same fields in the document. IE. Brief description of duties: I put it in for one job and it fills down for each job. If I go to change it, it fills all the other jobs again just the same. I hope this makes sense. Here is a pic:
Thanks for any help!

The form was created incorrectly. Nothing you can do about it using Reader. I would suggest contacting the creator of the form and tell them to give thosefields unique names.

  • Issue with filling out form fields in Safari?

    Hello,
    Has anyone noticed any issues with filling out form fields (specifically text boxes) in Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2?  When I attempt to test forms I've created, there is a delay when typing values into text boxes.  Other types of input controls (check boxes, drop down lists, etc.) appear to work fine.  As far as I can tell, this only occurs with Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OS 10.8.2.  Prior versions of Safari do not have this issue, nor does Firefox in the same OS environment.  When I refresh the form, the delay is not as noticeable.  I'm searching the WebKit bug reports as well, but nothing seems to point to this issue.  Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

    From the menu bar, select
    Edit ▹ Substitutions
    and uncheck Text Replacement.

  • How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

    I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

    Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
    If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Mac**Making a pdf fill-out form non-editable when it is completed.

    HELP!!
    If anyone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
    I see the forums are with LifeCycle but I need direction for the mac version of acrobat pro.
    I am creating a fill-out pdf form for distribution. I would like the person who receives the fill out form to complete the form,
    and click a "lock all fields" button or "form completed" button that will make all form fields lock/ non editable when emailed back to me.
    Where would I put this script? Can someone give me step by step direction for this button?
    I am a novice to this. I don't know how to run a javascript for the button or what is needed to get this completed.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thank you so much-
    Katy

    Maybe this will do the trick...

  • Save a filled-out form to Word - saved as blank

    I purchased ExportPDF so that I could save a filled-out form to Word. I needed to do this because, though the form has fields that allow seemingly infinite text to be inserted, the text is not visible when printed.  The document must be submitted by US Mail.  When I converted the completed document to Word, it erased ALL of the text I added and unchecked all boxes.  If this is all it can do, I need to unsubscribe and get a refund.  That is totally worthless to me.

    Hi,
    Did you try with different file? If so, are the results the same?
    Would you send your document as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.
    I have sent you my contact details on your email id.

  • Blinking I beam, but still cant fill out form

    I have reader 9. I need to fill out forms.So far I have had two that I have tried, both fillable with allowed access. I have a blinking I beam, but when I hit the keys, I get nothing, the curser just blinks at me in that ha, ha kind of way. Please help me figure this out, it has to be something simple I'm missing. Note:My comp was recently restored, and my PC guys put reader 9 on it for me. Not much else on my comp right now to interfere with it. Let me know. Thanks!

    They probably are not fillable.
    Choose the hand tool. When you mouse over the fields does it turn in to an i-beam? If not then no, they aren't fillable.

    How do you know this? If you are simply looking at what is allowed in Fiule>Properties>Security, all that is saying that IF it were a fillable form, you would be allowed to fill it out.

  • Filling out form with pre-determined values

    I am new to LiveCycle. I want to set up a form where if a person hits a button or check box, it fills in the form with predetermined variables. I want to there to be several different buttons/check boxes which if selected fill out the form with the predetermined values. These values would be different, depending on the check box/button selected.  Is this possible?
    Just to help understand a little more, I am designing a medical prescription form.
    If the practitioner selects 'Option A' I want it to automatically fill out the required fields in the rest of the form with the predetermined values (set by me).
    Similarily if the practitioner selected 'Option B', it fills out the form with another set of predetermined values.
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks

    After looking at your form, I understand what you were going for.  You want several fields prepopulate values when you select either Option A, Option B... and so on.  Here is the script I use for the different fields, I would also suggest adding the same script to the initialized event so you can save the state of the form after it has been changed.
    From a Drop Down - JavaScript Change event 
    if(xfa.event.newText == 'Option A'){
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionCheckbox.rawValue="0";      //0= unselected  1=selected
    optionRadio.rawValue = "Option A";
    if(xfa.event.newText == 'Option B'){
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option B";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option B value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option B text";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option B";
    optionCheckbox.rawValue="1";
    optionRadio.rawValue = "Option B";
    From a Radio Box - JavaScript Click event  (make sure you define your values)
    if(optionRadio.rawValue == 'Option A'){
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionCheckbox.rawValue="0";
    optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option A";
    if(optionRadio.rawValue == 'Option B'){
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option B";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option B value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option B text";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option B";
    optionCheckbox.rawValue="1";
    optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option B";
    From a Button - JavaScript Click event
    optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
    optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
    optionCheckbox.rawValue="0";
    optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option A";
    optionRadio.rawValue= "Option A";
    I would attach a sample form, however I can't see where to upload it on this forum.  I will email you the form.
    Suggestion on your form:  Make sure your form fields have unique names in the hierarchy (Shift + F11). 

  • Fill-out form

    How can I create a pdf fill-out form on my website so and have the user click a button so that the filled-out form can be emailed back to me?

    Here's one way: make a PDF file with your form fields. Make a Button and set the Mouse Up action to Submit a Form.
    In the Submit Form Selections, select the HTML radio button, then add the URL to a cgi script, plus "#FDF".
    For example: if you had a PHP file that parses incoming data, then sends it with mail(); you'd use "http://www.myurl.com/emailme.php#FDF".
    Then post your PDF file on your server.
    If you know PHP well, you can even have the PHP file return a "Content-Type: application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" header and send data back to the PDF file, which can be displayed in a PDF field.

  • Need help filling out forms in Adobe Reader 10.

    Just upgraded to Adobbe Reader 10. How can I fill out forms?  There is no hand tool. I checked the security of the document. It states that filling out forms is allowed.  Please help. There is no way that the sender of the document expected it to be filled out by hand.  Thanks!!!

    That only means that IF it had filable fields, you would be alowed to fill them in. It does not mean that those fields exist. If it's fillable, you would get a notification at the top of the PDF.

  • Ipad- filling out forms

  • FF 29.0.1 bug - filled-out-forms

    Hi, ever since I started using Firefox, I'd often have tabs already-open with already-filled-out-forms that would, every single day without fail, have my data retained (I'd fill out the form, hit the Back button, and the data would still be seen in the form. Every morning, I'd open the same tabs with the same data and the tabs would have my data prepopulated in the forms as I left it the day before). This was very important because I do some activity every morning and don't want to have to fill out my forms on a daily basis.
    The 29.0.1 upgrade this weekend broke the preservation of this data. Now, I have to manually fill out the forms again. I do like the UI and UX upgrades, but why is it that this critical "feature" to me has been removed? The preservation of data was a paramount part of the Firefox experience for me.
    If this is intended behavior, I'd like to hear it. If this is not intended behavior, I look forward to 29.0.2 fixing the issue. It was never a problem in versions 15+ up until 29.0, but 29.0.1 is a game changer for me.
    (And by the way, I know there are ways around it, but having to manually click on autocomplete buttons or use form filler tools defeats the purpose of this already existing up until this version.)

    tamarsaw, <br />Yes. That or something similar is easy to do. I can understand you would rather just use Firefox than have to try troubleshooting it but the effort and results should pay off in the longer term.
    It is just a matter of transferring and overwriting files in the new profile. It is also possibly worth keeping backup copies maybe put a spare copy somewhere safe such as the Desktop or Documents.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Suggested_profile_contents_to_transfer
    Remember you could for instance have the current profile retained for historic reasons. A totally clean profle for testing purposes, and a clean profile but with current open tabs and history/bookmarks.
    The new sync is worth using that will keep backups on a server. However it has sometimes been unreliable and troublesome in the past it would be wise not to become over-reliant and rely on it totally for anything very important. When you start Firefox from the profile manager you choose the profile to use. Or you have icons/shortcuts that use specific profiles
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
    <u>Open Tabs</u>
    The recently opened tabs can be kept. That is the file '''''sessionstore.js'''''
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js
    Firefox does itself try to keep a backup copy of those sometimes but the system may not always be 100% reliable.
    <u>History</u>
    This is kept in the same database as the Bookmarks. The file is '''''places'sqlite''''' The bookmarks do have separate backups even without you making manual bookmarks. The History does not have backups.
    * see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite
    <u>Sync & Firefox Accounts (FxA)</u>
    The new Firefox Accounts from Firefox29 will backup opentabs and History to the server, AND allow you to use those backups even if you only have a single machine or even stop using one machine and register another single machine. The old sync was not designed to be used as a backup or with single devices.

  • Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

    How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

    When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

    My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
    I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
    To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
    How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
    Any insight would be appreciated...

    There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
    For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
    What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
    However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
    If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

  • Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

    Hi,
    I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
    I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved  to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I  see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
    May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
    thanks,
    s.p

    The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
    Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
    It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.

    No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.
