I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out?  Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document.  I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed.  Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc....  Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 - Automate inserting signature & fields into document to be split

    Hi,
    I am a beginner with a huge task I am trying to automate.  Not sure its possible but here goes.  I am getting ready to "print" my 200+ teacher contracts to a PDF file from my Filemaker Pro database.  This creates one big PDF file with just over 200 "pages" as each contract is a page. Is there an easy way to insert two check boxes, a signature box, date field, print and e mail button on each page before I split the document into 200 individual pages to be emailed to each teacher or is this not an efficient way to handle it?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Any form element can be duplicated. After you create them on the first page, right-click on them using the Select Object Tool and select Duplicate.
    You should be able to make copies of them on all the pages using this method.

  • Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

    Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
         Inpatient
         Outpatient
         Physician
    I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
    I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
    switch (ProvType.rawValue)
        case "Inpatient":
            this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
            break;
        case "Outpatient":
            this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
            break;    
        case "Physician":
            this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
            break;    
    What I want to happen is:
    If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Hospice
         Hospital
         Nursing Facility
    If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Adult Day Center
         Home
         Other
    If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
         Surgeon
         Family Practice
         Neurologist
    However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
    I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

    dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
    If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
    In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
    - Select One -
    BA - Communication (BACOMM)
    BA - History (BAHIST)
    BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
    After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
    switch (event.value) {
        case "- Select One -":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
            break;
        case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
            break;
        case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
            break;
        case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
            this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
            break;
    Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
    It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended - How do you change the software language?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended has been installed in German on my machine, is there a way like in most software to switch to the English language though some options?

    In Acrobat Preferences, look under the section called (in English) "International" for "Application language".
    There might, or might not, be other languages available.

  • Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
    Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
    IA32
    ADBC
    eBook
    EScript
    HLS
    PPKLite
    SaveAsRTS
    However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
    Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
    I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
    It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
    Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

    I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
    What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
    Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
    Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X - plug-ins not loaded

    I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro for our company with multiple user licences.  Once installed I noticed a lot of features which were in previous versions are not available.  When I select the “Help” “About Adobe Plug-ins...” tab, almost all of the plug-ins are not loaded. Is this right and if not, how do I fix it. After reading numerous blogs I still do not have an answer – most refer to 3rd party plug-ins but not to this problem. NB: I am not an IT expert, but can help myself fairly well on software. Using Windows 7. Uninstalled Google Chrome as someone suggested it affects the plug-ins (which also did not solve the problem!)

    It's working correctly.
    The Help > About Adobe Plug-ins dialog shows the status of dynamic extensions which ship with Acrobat - not third-party plugins you may have installed yourself. These core extensions are loaded on demand, so if you don't have a document open, very few of them will be loaded. It's why the dialog bothers to tell you their status in the first place.
    Third-party plugins need to be reinstalled if you upgrade to Acrobat X, as the installation folder is different. Some that were written for previous versions won't work with Acrobat X, especially if they're not designed to cope with the Tools Pane or Protected View in 10.1, but they will not appear on that dialog - they appear on the next menu item down, "About Third-Party Plug-ins".
    The UI in Acrobat X is radically different from previous versions, but very few features are actually missing - what are you looking for that you can't find?

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 w/ Autocad in XP Mode- not working

    I'm running Autocad Arch Desktop (ADT) in Windows XP Mode within Windows 7, and have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed in Windows 7.  Unfortunately, no "Adobe PDF"  pulldown was created within ADT once Adobe Pro was installed, and there isn't any sign of Adobe in ADT (normally, Adobe automatically installs pulldowns within ADT once installed).  Adobe and ADT function normally otherwise.  Does anyone know how to get Adobe Acrobat Pro in Windows 7 to recognize and work with ADT in Windows XP Mode?

    Can you tell me how to set the defaults to Courier 10pt font?  I tried select all and it's grayed out, but that was after the
    fact.  Where are the original default presets?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

    I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
    My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
    This error happens when:
    1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
    2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
    3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
    Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
    I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
    Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
    I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
    Thanks!
    Stephie

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.
