How do I make a PDF form that is fillable for iPhone users?

I recently created a fillable form using Adobe LiveCycle and I need the form to be accessible for iPhone users. I downloaded the Adobe Reader app on my iPhone, but I am not able to access any of the drop down menus and the fillable fields do not appear.
Can someone help me resolve this problem?
Thank you!!

Alright, I don't think I'm going in the right direction with this. It seems to be very difficult to make a form from scratch using Adobe Pro, as compared to LiveCycle. Is there an easier way to accomplish my goal without having to re-create this entire form in Pro?
The LiveCycle form I made was made from scratch and contains many text boxes and drop down menus, I'd rather not have to recreate it if I don't have to.
I appreciate any help.

  • How can I make a photo cd that is compatible for windows users?

    I need to make a photo cd from my iphoto library that will be compatible with Windows computers.  In my older iphoto program on my iBook G4 that was not a problem.  In iphoto '11, I get a message saying I need to follow some other instructions for cds for windows.  I'm having trouble with the alternative.  I must be missing something.  Is there a simple explanation?  Or will this always be a chore with the new program?
    Thanks for any help,
    Sheila

    Select the photos in iPhoto, export them to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for details on the export options - and using the finder burn that folder to Disk

  • Can I make a PDF form that can be filled/saved in Illustrator/InDesign without Acrobat Pro?

    Can I make a PDF form that can be filled out and (more importantly saved) in Illustrator or InDesign without having to use Adobe Acrobat Pro?
    I only have Adobe Reader XI. Do I need to purchase Adobe Acrobat Pro in order to make a PDF form that can be filled out and saved by others? or is it possible to do this solely through Illustrator, InDesign, and/or Adobe Reader?

    InDesign can export to a filable form, assuming you add the fields in InDesign (6/CC) and export as an interactive PDF. You can't create a form with Reader or Illustrator. You also can't Reader-enable with anything other than Acrobat, so Reader users will have to use version 11 in order to save a filled-in form.

  • How do I print a pdf form that has no print button?

    How do I print a pdf document that has no print button or name?  It is a Florida form for handicapped drivers.

    When you open a PDF in Reader or Acrobat there will be a Print toolbar button and a File > Print menu item. Other PDF viewers will have much the same.

  • How do I save a pdf form that can be updated by multiple users

    I work for a company that is trying to digitize all of their paper forms. As I am creating these forms, I need to know how one person can open and fill in information, then email the form to another person who can continue to fill out the same form. Any ideas? I already tried enabling usage rights in adobe reader, but we can only have one person fill out some info and once they save it, no one else can make any changes to that specific form.

    They are using the original reader. One employee was able to save it where it could still be filled in (I just found out), but another user tried to do save as for the info that was put into the form. So I don't know if she saved it as a pdf and it cleared all the original formatting or not. Any ideas of what happened at that point?
    @GiladD:     There are no special apps, this is just opening up as a pdf on a PC desktop. The second user opens the file and it's a normal pdf with no more fields to fill in.
    @Bill@VT     We are trying to get the issues resolved before more employees start filling this out on their iPads.

  • Submit button for online PDF form doesn't work for some users

    Two online forms I've created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 work fine for me. But when some of my site's users click on the Submit button in either form, it simply flashes and then does nothing. It's a standard Submit button with a Mailto link. The documents are PDF Version 1.7, and I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4. Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be great.

    Has this form been enabled with Form Rights for Reader.  If the entire PDF is submitted, then the PDF must be Reader enabled to operate on Reader. 
    Another issue is that an email submit is entirely dependant on the user's system.  There must be a local email client installed and registered with the system.  Internet email will not work.  This is the most likely issue.  Althougth there are other things that could be wrong.  You might want to consider using the Acrobat.com to distribute your forms.  This method gets around the email issue for most users. 
    Other issues that could cause this problem are the users' version of Acrobat/Reader as well as any kind of funky system/security setup.   

  • Pdf form in read-mode for the users and...allowing me to save my new modifications

    I wanted to save a modification in my pdf form. Unfortunally, it was opened by another user in read-only mode.
    When I tried to save my new modifications, my screen pops me up the classic error message: cannot not save because it is opened in read....
    The form is stored in network shared drive and I am the owner. The users have the read only permission.
    I open it with Acrobat Pro X and users open it with Adobe Reader XI. Both sofwares are setted with the enable protected mode and javascript disabled,
    I tried to not use the preview mode in Windows explorer without succes.
    Is my problem a bug or is it the normal way abobe acrobat works ?
    Thank you for any replyer !

    Hello Gkaiseril,
    Thank you for your fast reply !
    I am not at my office right now, however I am pretty sure in the Word case, I will be able to edit.
    During my problem, I checked in the File manager on the server side (windows 2003 r2 sp1 x64). The reader had not write permission on the file, and I am the only owner with the full permissions.

  • How do I make a PDF form with data-merge capabilities (to use with .xls spreadsheet)?

    I would like to design a form in InDesign (CS2), export it to a PDF, use Adobe LiveCycle to make it into a form, then use data from an excel spreadsheet to populate the form in a repetative fashion so that each person in the spreadsheet gets a populated form with only their applicable data on it. Is this possible?

    You can use LiveCycle Designer's Data Connection to access an SQL data base. Excel can act as an SQL database.

  • How do I make a web page that changes every time the user refreshes it? Is it possible in Muse?

    Hi, i'd like to make quite a simple website where the main text in the centre of the page changes every time the user refreshes the page in their browser. I assume i'll have to make one master, and multiple pages that are all the same except for the changes in the text, but i'm not sure how to make it so that every refresh directs to a different page and not just the home page? Is this even possible in Muse?
    This is an example of what i'm going for: :: procatinator ::
    Thanks!

    You can't do it with Muse alone. Would probably be fairly simple to do with a bit of Javascript. Check the widget directory as it is possible someone has made a widget for random content. If not, maybe I will make one this weekend. ;-)

  • My mozilla browser is "lockig" or "freeze" itself I don´t know a better word in english. I does that a lot since I updated it. Why? And how do I make it stop doing that? Thankful for an answer. /maria

    I can see my spelling is not the best. Anyway, since I´ve updated mozilla, it freezez almost every time I´m out surfing. It didn´t do that before. I have to close it with the activity-manager almost everytime. What´s wrong with it? Explorer works better. I will be very greatful if you can help me with this.
    Thanks! /maria

    set the wake-on lan on the main computer
    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
    I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

  • How Can I make the toggle navigation OFF a default for an user

    HI, working with ISS6 Windows 2003 and Xir2 (SP3) I am trying to make one specific user (Or all users) to have hidden (grapped) by default the navigation panel in Infoview, but this setting seems to pick the default (Display=true) not from the user's session, but from someplace else.
    What can I do to avoid the Infoview to display the folder tree under the navigation panel?
    Thanks

  • Can I create a PDF form with a field for adding/changing Photos?

    Does anyone have a solution to the following problem?
    I would like to be able to make a PDF form that others in the office can use to fill in a particular inventory and model number.  (Fields, Easy)
    Then have a field where they can replace the PHOTO of the item referred to by the inventory and model number.
    Is this possible using Acrobat professional? Can the document then be saved as, or exported somehow from there?
    I know this is probabably easy to do in Word, but can a photo be changed on a PDF and saved as?
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!
    DaddyOfZed

    It will make it possible for them to select a new photo. Will you ever want to extract the photo from the form to be used elsewhere?
    In order to set this up in Acrobat, you can create a button to display the image, set its layout to something other than "Label only", and add the following JavaScript to the Mouse Up action:
    // Prompt user to select an image
    event.target.buttonImportIcon();
    For the PC users, Acrobat Standard is sufficient for this.

  • How do I purchase reader extensions to save a PDF form that has been filled out in Acrobat Reader?

    I have just discovered that in order to save a PDF form that has been electronically filled out in Acrobat Reader, that I have to purchase reader extensions to make this possible.  I would like to speak to someone about the price and how to purchase.
    I cannot find a phone number on your site, so I am hoping to get an answer from Adobe this way.
    Thanks,
    Chani

    Thanks everyone for responding.  I should have supplied more information.
    I was hired by my client to create PDF forms that can be downloaded from their website, filled out electronically in Acrobat Reader, and then saved (with all the form fields filled in) and emailed.
    I was supplied with scanned forms as the base for creating the form fields in Acrobat Pro.  These web visitors that will be filling out the forms and emailing them will only have Acrobat Reader, most likely.
    I created the forms in Acrobat Pro, and they worked great when I tested them ( in Acrobat Pro) - I could save the form field data.  However, my client has come back to me with numerous complaints from their web visitors - they cannot save the form once they have filled it out in Acrobat Reader and keep the data they have entered.  Instead, they have to print the form physically, scan it, and email it that way (kind of low tech for the year 2013, and not easy for these people).
    So, my end goal is to update these forms in Acrobat Pro so they can be filled out by folks only using Acrobat Reader and saved with the form field data intact.  Seems like a no-brainer that Acrobat Pro should have this capability without purchasing additional extensions.  However, in my research online, I have found several posts that suggest that purchasing "Reader Extensions" is the only way to enable Acrobat Pro to be able to do this.
    Can someone please clarify if I need to buy something to program these forms in Acrobat Pro to enable other people using Acrobat Reader to fill out these forms and save them with the form fields intact?
    If I do need to buy something, what is it exactly?  How do I find out clear, consise, specific information about buying it/the cost/the licensing?  I am a sole owner/employee of a graphic design firm and these forms are for my client, which is a locally-owned regional hospital.
    If this needs to move to the LiveCycle forum, fine, but I don't really know what that software is and since I'm only using Acrobat Pro (and the users, Acrobat Reader) I felt this was the appropriate place to post.
    Thanks for all of your responses!

  • How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

    I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.
