How do you fill in a pdf in Adobe Reader 9?

I have Adobe Reader 9 on my laptop. I've received several PDF forms which I need to fill in and then email back to the sender. Can this be done with Adobe Reader 9 or do I have to buy an additional program? I'm overseas and for a variety of reasons I can't go onto the Adobe site and spend ages editing/filling in the document online. Any help/advice much appreciated.

In order for you to fill in a form using Reader, the creator of the form would have to add fillable fields. It sounds like the forms you get don't have those so your only choice is to print them, fill them out by hand then mail them or purchase Adobe Acrobat and add those form fields yourself.

Reader itself is free. The PDF Pack service that you can use through Reader does not have a trial. The only thing they have that converts pdf files and has a trial is Acrobat Pro.

How to create a non downloadable pdf in Adobe reader X?

Hi,
How can I create a non downloadble pdf in Adobe Reader X. Please help.

Good day,
To Bernd's point, you cannot stop someone from downloading your PDF (or any file for that matter) if you put them onto the Internet. There are ways of limiting how long a file can be viewable for through some server side software options, but ultimately, to your original question, you cannot create PDF files with Adobe Reader.

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

Why can't I save a recently filled-in form (PDF) in Adobe Reader Touch app on Dell tablet?

I recently purchased a Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet and installed Adobe Reader Touch so that I could view, fill-in, save, and print PDFs. I do have the newest version (2.0), but whenever I try to save/save as after filling in a form, it won't let me. I can print the PDF....but cannot save it. I am aware (or think) that this function is a newer feature for this app....but cannot understand why it is not working for me. Can someone please explain why I am running into this issue? Should I be able to perform this task with the 2.0 version....or are these functions not available yet?
Thank you for any guidance!

There is a special subforum for the Touch version of Reader:

Unable to Fill in Fillable PDF with Adobe Reader 11

I have created a fillable pdf using adobe designer 9 and have saved it to be compatible with reader. I sent out the form to several collegues and one person wrote back that they are having issues. The person has adobe reader 11 and cannot save the form. Is this an adobe reader 11 issues since other collegues with a different version of reader are able to open the document. Is this a known issue and is there a solution?
Please advise. Thank you in advance,

How to print a reduced size pdf with adobe reader

How can I print a pdf file at 75% of the original a4 paper size? a5 is much too small yet I don't see anywhere to conveniently print from adobe reader at less than 100%.

It may depend on the print driver for your printer. Also, I have no idea what the options are in Reader (this is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum) and a shrink to fit (usually what you look for) may not be available in Reader.

How do you cut and paste text from Adobe Reader 11 into Word?

Using Windows 8.1. Recently purchased Adobe Reader 11. Need to cut and paste text from PDF into Word docs. Docs are not locked and content should be available for editing. Have figured out how to highlight the text through the Comment tools, but nothing (right-clicking, going to Edit pulldown) menu gives me a Copy option. How do I cut and paste the text?

Good to know that I got what I paid for with the Export PDF.I just went
into the document that I am trying to cut and paste from and highlighted a
piece of text. Clicked right, checked the Edit pulldown, and then did
Ctrl+C (assuming you meant Ctrl and then C, rather than holding them both
down together). Still no Copy option anywhere.
Properties for the document I am trying to work with do say "Content
Copying: Allowed" under Security. Since I can highlight text, I assumed
that the text is there (not a photo scan) so that I can copy it. Should I
look somewhere else under properties to confirm this?
As I did last night, I also opened up a document that I have cut and pasted
extensively from before-so I know the text is there and manipulable.
Attempted to cut and paste from it, using the same methods above. Again,
no option to copy with any of them.
Perhaps I should clarify that by cut-and-paste, I do mean that I want to
copy the text from the original and then transfer it to a Word doc that I
am writing. I am not trying to do anything with the original other than
copy from it--not cutting anything out of the document itself.
Is there a way to do this with the Adobe 11 reader. At this point, I am
wondering if I need to uninstall Adobe 11 and try to go back to Adobe 10 or
whatever the reader was that was installed on my computer when I bought it
(Dell Inspiron touch-screen laptop purchased in May 2013, if that gives any
idea of which reader might have been installed there. That version did,
however, have some other limitations that made me want to get Adobe 11. Any
ideas about what to do now.

How to open hyperlinks in a pdf with Adobe Reader 9?

We publish a digital journal with hyperlinks to various sources. After installation of Adobe Reader version 9 we are not able anymore to open the hyperlinks. Looking to the discussion Fora we also followed the procedure to disable the PDF/A mode of view. Then the Reader mentions that it tries connecting the website of the source and asks permission to do so. I give that permission, but nothing happens then. This is really a problem for us and I cannot imagine that this is not soluble. We use internet explorer newest version.

We are experiencing a similar problem with hyperlinks in Reader 9.3.4 but this is with PDF not /A files from which we call SWF movies.
We have training products produced in Acrobat 6, as PDFs which have hyperlinks to run Flash movies (SWFs). The products are installed from CD onto users' hard drives.
The products have worked on hundreds of PCs and Macs, but as each customer updates to Reader 9.3.4 they report failure to open the SWFs.
The SWFs are organised in a hierarchy of folders depending on exact topic. All the movies are inside a "data" folder, then main topic folders, down to sub-topic folders.
I have found that the PDF hyperlinks will open a copy of the relevant SWF if it is placed in the same folder as the calling PDF, but not when it is in its rightful position down the path.
The initial error message shown when files are in their correct folders says e.g. "Cannot find anchoring_one.swf" suggesting that only the filename is called and not the path. However the second message, displayed when the first is acknowledged, says e.g. "Cannot open data/anchoring/anchoring_one.swf" So the hyperlink IS outputting the full path, but somehow it it is being truncated to file name only.
Seems that the call is produced from the hyperlink correctly, and registers with the system as full path. Then the call is passed forward to a function which should actually open the file and here loses its path, so file-open fails and returns a "Cannot Find" message. The return code from this function is passed back as a failure, to the prior function which still knows the path. This prior function then issues the "Cannot Open" message, including the full path.
Is is totally impractical for us to rewrite and re-issue the programs in any other format, or stop thousands of independent customers from upgrading to Reader 9.3.4
I hope Adobe can fix this issue VERY quickly.

How do you fix Error 1324 when downloading Adobe Reader?

"Error 1324. The path My Pictures or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again." appears after 96% of download occurs when downloading Adobe Reader onto my home computer Windows XP Home Ed. v2 sp3 64 processor. Tried downloading again and same thing happens - used Windows Internet Explorer as browser. Any ideas on what to do next? Will try downloading using Google Chrome to see if that works. First time using the forums - think I need to move it to Adobe Reader Forum
Message was edited by: denm

Thanks Pat W. I stand corrected. The error report occured during installation. My Pictures and the Adobe folders reside in My Documents - the path(?) C:Documents and Settings/Denise/My Documents/My Pictures. The Adobe folder also resides in the My Documents folder but not within the My Pictures folder. Just wondering where the Adobe folder should be. If I have an external drive on and a backup copy of Adobe is in it, would that be what you mean by a folder in "My Documents" is pointing to somewhere other than the C: drive? I have turned off my external drive and retried the download. Not successful. Will try your last tip re: the support site from microsoft. Thanks for any other clarification you can provide.
