How to save fillable pdf form *without* the blue highlight?

Created a fillable pdf form.
Clicked "remove highlight" and it went away.
Saved file as extended other so I can fill in and save when opened.
Open it and it still has all fields highlighted in the blue. How to I change this to be transparent?
Thanks so much!
Carolyn Witt

Thanks for the respons... if that is the case how come when I open fillable pdf's in AA from other people there is no highlight. But when I open the one I just created, there is highlight. That's all on the same computer with the same preferences?

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

    Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
    I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

    I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
    If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
    There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
    To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

  • Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

  • How to receive fillable PDF forms from clients & be able to save them?

    Hi everyone,
    So I have been having trouble with this for a while now.
    Basically for work, my assignment was to create a PDF that could have fillable forms and a button at the bottom of the page sending to my coworkers' emails.
    How it would work:  Once a person fills out the form and presses the send button at the bottom of the PDF, it would send to my coworkers' emails and they could save the documents with the fillable data.
    Everything works except for the saving process.  Once my coworkers receive the email, they get different error messages that look like the following (and they CANNOT SAVE the PDFs... so it makes the whole idea worthless):
    Here is how the messages read:
    1) First image on the left: the box reads "Save a Blank Copy of this Form"
                                         underneath it it says "Data typed into this form will not be saved.  Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
    2) 2nd image:  the box reads "Sending Data Files by Email"
                         underneath it says "Please note: This form contains an email submit button.  Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form.  However, the form itself will not be sent.  Remember you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9 or later.
    3)  3rd image:  reads "the file you are attempting to open contains comments or form data that are supposed to be placed on.  This document cannot be found.  It may have been moved, or deleted.  Would you like to browse to attempt to locate this document?
    So, I was wondering if there is any way around this.  Is there away to have the PDF sent back to my coworkers so they can then save the FILLABLE PDF and organize it in a folder. 
    If there isn't... then is there a way to have it send back to my coworkers and have them print out the fillable PDF and organize the PDFS coming in that way?

    Yes, you just need to Reader-enable the document, which will allow Reader to save the complete PDF form. When you set up the Submit button, choose the option that sends the complete PDF, as opposed ot just the form data (FDF, XFDF).
    To Reader-enable a document in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Do this as the final step when preparing the document to be sent out.

  • How to save to PDF form View Responses tab without including blank fields?

    Is there a way to save in PDF form from View Responses withouth including blank fields? More specifically, my form has several fields that have action (Show/hide) depending on the values. Once form is submitted and I am reviewing it from View Response tab, I use "save as PDF" button to save/download my completed form, however when I open it, it shows blank fields as well. Is there a way to somehow specify not to include blanks. If there is no way it would be a nice feature to have. Please let me know.

    No, the PDF is always going to show all fields, the "Show/Hide" does not affect the PDF we generate.
    I will soon post a Form for users to submit feature requests, keep your eyes out for an announcement in the forums for it and you can submit this request.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How to modify fillable pdf forms

    I'm using Mac OS 10.7.2.  I've been applying for a job through the Veterans Administration website, usajobs.
    I have not been able to save the fillable PDF documents as the website says I should.
    Every time I try to save, I lose the information I've typed in.
    The website says it should work with Safari 5.0, but it does not.
    It also says it should work with Acrobat Reader 9, but it does not. The tech at Acrobat said I needed Acrobat Pro X, which costs $489 and with a Mac does not have a trial period.
    I also tried something called PDF Pen, but that messed up the information in the forms.
    Any suggestions?
    Also, if I get far enough that I can save the data, it also requires me to sign the forms.  Any idea of how I can do that?
    Thanks

    Fill out the form, and instead of saving, File->Export... and save as a PDF with a different name.   If this works, you will need to do this with each edit.

    In Adobe Acrobat use File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files...
    Won't work with files created in Designer. You'll just get the same error as the OP.
    A PDF package is the only option available for Designer forms.
    (although you WILL get that option after you let "create from multiple documents" fail.)

  • Uploading fillable PDF form to the web

    I have created a fillable PDF form in Acrobat 9, which opens fine as a fillable PDF from my desktop.  I also uploaded it to our website but when i open it up from the web; it is no longer fillable.  Can you tell me how to fix this?
    Thanks
    Melissa

    That really depends on how a user (client) machine is set up, as opposed to something you can do on the web server. For example, the user can configure Acrobat/Reader so that it does not open in their browser, but rather directly in Acrobat/Reader. Or they can set things up so that PDFs are always downloaded and not automatically opened in Acrobat/Reader. You could provide instructions for downloading the PDF on the page that has the link to your form.

  • How to save a PDF form in a Lotus Notes/Domino database

    In our enterprise we have Lotus Notes/Domino database and we offered a PDF form to many users for some subscriptions.  To receive these subscriptions, is it possible to put a SAVE button that saves the filled data into the Lotus Notes/Domino database?
    If yes, how?

    It happens automatically. You don't need any code to trigger it.

  • How to return fillable pdf form via distribute function in live cycle?

    I am trying to have a fillable form be submitted back/returned by e-mail (through using outlook)to multiple users, via the distribute form function through livecycle, so that they know a pdf form has been completed and sent back and that I can place the information in the dataset as well (in case I need to export the info). Currently the distribute function only accepts it going to one e-mail, even if I seperate the e-mails with a ";". How do I have the form e-mail multiple users and allow me to place the form field data go into a dataset via distribution?

    I tried it and I am seeing what you are seeing. If I send to a single user then it works fine. I think it might be outlook blocking the multi-address through programmatic interfaces. They do this so that viruses cannot turn your mail client into a spam generation. This is simply a guess.

  • How to save fillable PDF on Mac then share or send

    Question
    I followed instructions to select print, select the Save as PDF but when I tried to send the completed fillable PDF; the blanks are empty.  I can't even open the saved document that shows there is information saved.  When I try to open, there is a totally White page--- nothing.  What could I be doing incorrectly on the save and open?

    I aware of that; I created the forms to be saved, completed and submitted
    using Adobe Pro in the faculty lab.  I then had the school put Adobe Pro on
    my computer to tweak the forms when I needed.  However on testing forms now
    on my computer, I can not fill out and SAVE the information to submit when
    completed.  Perhaps my Adobe Pro is corrupted and needs to be
    re-installed?  If I go to another Mac computer and use the same created PDF
    forms, complete them, save them, I am able to submit the completed form and
    the information can be seen.  I cannot now do this on my Mac now that I
    have installed this Adobe Pro.

  • How to Save Completed PDF Form (Embedded in HTML)

    We have a PDF Form which is displayed embedded in our HTML page (via a browser plugin).
    The user can submit the Form from within the HTML page (the embedded frame with the PDF contains the whole form and the Submit button).
    The toolbar on the Reader plugin shows the Save button, but when we click it, we get an error saying the document cannot be saved, only printed. Here is our issue:
    1) We need to allow the user to save the form locally,
    2) including their *completed data*
    Is there any way to do this from within the plugin? Thanks

    Only specially enabled forms can be saved with data in Reader. If you have Acrobat Standard or Pro you can save data in forms. Forms can only be enabled for saving with Reader using Acrobat or LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.
    Language C#
    Adobe Reader 10.0
    Here´s some Code:
    public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
    Process proc = new Process();
    proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
    proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
    proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    proc.Start();
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    proc.WaitForInputIdle();
    proc.Kill();
    It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.
    Is there another way to hide the Window ?
    Regards

    Hi,
    I am developing an application, which have to support a PDF print. My result after searching for the best possibilities is this snippet:
    public static void PrintPDF(string path, string printer)
    Process process = new Process();       
    process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
    process.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerName + "\"";
    process.Start();
    // I have to use this in case of Adobe Reader to close the window
    process.WaitForInputIdle();
    process.Kill();
    This is the most generic solution - it prints a pdf unless no matter wich reader is installed.
    Only deficit - the Adobe Reader window still pops up. Why it does not behave like it´s alternatives (for example Foxit Reader) and print the PDF without popping up ?
    Regards
