I need basic help on filling out an on line form.

I have used Adobe Acrobat to fill out forms on line, and it was always a no-brainer (set up that way by the author, I'm guessing).  So I never explored the details of how it works.  I am trying to fill out forms for an upcoming doctor appointment, but am unable to type on the lines.  I did a bit of reading and then tried to use the "typewriter tool", but could not figure it out.  I looked at the properties of the document, and the author marked "allowed" on the form being "fillable", so I thought that meant answers could be "filled in" on the lines.  In the past, I've noticed that documents I could type on had light shading on areas I could type.  This one doesn't. I'm not sure if I need to purchase Acrobat software or some other software to do this, or what I need to do.  Can anyone help? 

Well... thats actually my problem... I can't seem to wrap my brain around
readet and acrobat, and if you have to buy acrobat or what...  It, seems
like, its on my laptop already, but I don't know how to figure that out...
I found my way to a site where you can get a "free account" and, I
registered, but I'm just mystified by the whole thing.  I will ask a
computer geek today to help me learn what I have and how to use it.
Meanwhile, I answered everything on a separate word doc and saved it with
the forms onto a cd... at least it will be easy to give em the cd to get
the info into their compiter, and they or I can merge the answers onto the
forms they want fo a paper chart.  Thanks, for the info, anyway!. Have an
awesome day!  xxoo,    I'll b n touch so in case I have more trouble...  A

  • Realtor in need of help to fill out forms.

    I'm a REALTOR and I deal with a ton of forms that need to be filled out and emailed to customers.  I already have the PDF forms downloaded on my computer, however, I need to fill out these forms, save them, and email them over to my customers with all of the various lines, items and checked boxes filled out.  However, I can't seem to get my Acrobat 7 to allow me to fill these forms out.  Would someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to accomplish this simple task?  Thanks a bunch!

    Personally, I like the WD drives. Daughter has the half TB version of the drive and loves it...works seemlessly with her MBP.

  • Problems with filling out/going back and editing filled out information and signing forms

    Users cannot fully fill out, edit and save forms--
    the forms were set up in InDesign CS6, then edited in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for all the form info and after that was set up the forms were saved as extended pdfs to allow adobe reader users to fill them out and sign.
    The users are having all kinds of issues with the forms and its been difficult to pin point the exact cause.
    Here are 2 errors:
    This document enabled extended features in Adobe reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.
    The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader. To fill out and sign this document you need to print it out.
    ---I've checked the security on the form and there is no security not allowing them to fill it out and I believe that originally they were able to but the form was saved and then they went back and were unable to edit it. I need to know if its something I need to do on my end or an instruction I need to give to them--steps to filling out and saving programs vesions to use etc..
    sorry for some of the holes in the info. the form was created for a client and they sent it out to their employees so I do not have direct contact with the people having the issues just two screenshots, and I have not been able to find an answer that works--this is what I thought would help but it didnt:
    It should solve the signature/adding text  issue—From : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987256
    Your user should go to Extended pane in Reader to apply a digital signature to the Reader extended PDF.
    The user is probably trying to use the Sign pane in Reader which has some options disabled according to the document permissions. The new Sign pane in Reader is an integration with Adobe EchoSign service in the sense that it enables an end user to fill-up documents, electronically sign and then send a PDF document, without having the need to print them. The Sign pane provides two options to the user:
    1 - Fill and Sign: Here the user can place text using 'Add Text'. Users can add arbitrary text to a PDF, eg. in documents where Reader cannot interact with the document even though the document looks like a form, in forms where user cannot save the filled-up form. In such cases the only option a user has is to print the form, fill it and then fax or fedex the filled up document to the author or scan it and send it electronically. Using the Sign pane in Reader, a user can add text and also electronically sign the document (this is not the same as digital signature) using an image of their signature. He can create a 'signature' from a scanned paper which has user's handwritten signature and place it on the PDF.
    2 - Send for Signature: Here the user is sent to EchoSign for collecting signatures from others.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • Need tech help to fill in forms on iPad 4

    I have an iPAD 4.  I RECEIVED A form from a client that needs to be filled out and returned.
    I have Adobe reader and Acrobat, I saw on Acrobat that I need to purchase something called Export pdf for iOs etc.  which I don't understand. Is this what I need to be able to convert the form and type on it.  Or is this something that allows me to make up a form, type on it and then send it out?  I need a program that allows me to type on forms or contracts that customers send me.....HELP....I NEED IT LIKE YESTERDAY.  THX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP I CAN GET...ASAP

    You don't need ExportPDF to fill in a form.
    You can download Adobe Reader from the App Store on your iPad. It lets you fill out forms. Then you can email the filled out form by using the Share button. Good luck.

  • Need basic Help - SG300 with vlan and routing

    Hi,
    i need some basic help with configuring vlan/routing.
    Situation:
    DSL Router - Cisco 300 - XenServer
    192.168.1.253 - 192.168.1.19 - 192.168.1.10 (mgmt ip)
    goal is, to reach from inside xenserver vms the internet.
    vms = 192.168.2.x
    gateway ip = 192.168.2.1
    what i did:
    - configured vlan 102, tagged, with the xenserver port
    - configured on xenserver a network with vlan id 102, attached to the vm
    - this network is conntected to an external bond
    - configured ipva4 interface: vlan102 - Static - IP 192.168.2.1 (this is the gateway ip of the vms)
    - automatic configured IPv4 Route: 192.168.2.0/24 next hop 0.0.0.0, Directly connected
    So at the moment i cant ping from inside a vm to the DSL Router (192.168.2.2 to 192.168.1.253)
    any ideas what i misconfigured or whats wrong?
    cheers,
    -Marco

    Hi Tom,
    ok, that make sense. I can ping the router now inside vms from 192.168.2.x network.
    But i cant ping external adresses, error: Destination net unreachable.
    My other problem i have, i cant reach any server from outside over router portforwarding.
    How do i have to configure the upload port to the dsl router? Is it a access port or a trunk
    port with all vlans (tagged or untagged?) At the moment ive a tagged Trunkport with all vlans.
    IPv4 Interface Table
    Interface
    IP Address Type
    IP Address
    Mask
    Status
    VLAN 1
    Static
    192.168.1.19
    255.255.255.0
    Valid
    Should the VLAN1 ip adress not the router ip adress ? Do i need an additional vlan for
    the router ? At the end i like to change the switch ip from dhcp to static (change automaticly
    when switching to layer 3 mode), but ive to look for the ios commands first.
    What else do i missing ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Marcus

  • Need urgent help in listing out checklist from DBA prespective for BI Implementation Project

    Hello Guys,
    We are in Designing phase Data Modeling of PDW/APS Implementation Project.
    I need urgent help in making a checklist from a DBA perspective.
    Like what are things ill be needing at a time of implementation/Deployment.
    Your expert comments and help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Anish.S
    Asandeen

    You can get good summary of checklist from this article about
    DBA checklist for data warehousing.
    Which highlights on below pointers:
    New system or old. (I.e. Up-gradation vs starting from scratch)
    Complexity of SQL Server architecture 
    SQL Server storage
    Determining SQL Server processing power
    SQL Server installation consideration 
    SQL Server configuration parameter
    SQL Server security
    SQL Server Database property
    SQL Server jobs and automation
    Protecting SQL Server data
    SQL Server health monitoring and check ups
    SQL Server ownership and control 
    based on my real time experience, I will suggest you to keep an eye on 
    Load performance (It will be useful when your database(Warehouse) will have huge amount of data)
    System availability (Check for Windows update and up time configuration) 
    Deployment methodology should be planned in advance. Development of packages and respective objects should be done systematically.
    Source control mechanism 
    Disk space and memory usage
    You might or might not have full rights on production environment, so be prepared to analyze production environment via Select statements [I guess you got my point]
    Proper implementation of Landing , Staging and Mart tables.
    Column size (this can drastically decrease your database size)
    Usage of indexes (Index are good, but at what cost?)
    I hope this will assist you in building your check list.

  • Using a MAC to fill out PC Created PDF forms creating problems

    We have created a number of forms using LiveCycle to be filled out by clients.  They include submit buttons that send the form back as a PDF (rather than a data file).  The forms were then opened in  Acrobat 8 Professional and usage rights enabled to allow the clients to save a copy of the completed form.
    They work great...unless the client is using a MAC.  We have encountered the following problems with MAC filled forms:
    1) client entered data is present but only visible when the field is clicked on
    2) the Print and Submit by E-mail buttons do not work for MAC users
    3) the tabbing order is inconsistent
    Any ideas of ways we can make our forms more compatible for MAC users??
    Many Thanks!

    Hi Rod,
    Sorry I replied a few days ago, but for some reason it didn't seem to get added to the thread.  So, here we go again ...
    The "fix field" script worked great for me.  So, we have been using that solution when needed.  Unfortunately, I am not enough of an expert on these things to provide an intelligent answer as to why it may not be working for you.
    But, it also became evident from dialogue and testing that the issue only occurs when recipients use MAC Preview to complete the forms.  So, on some forms I have just added a note saying - MAC Users: Please complete the form using Adobe Reader.  As this is, of course, free software, which most people already have installed on their computer, this seems to prevent the problem from occurring as well.
    Hope that is at least a little bit helpful.

  • Filling out an Adobe FormCentral form

    Hi all,
    This might be really simple but I've created a few forms in FormCentral and I've included the 'help text' on a few fields. When I save the form as a PDF and open with Adobe reader, I get the purple bar across the top stating 'Please fill out the following form', however the help text does not show up anywhere to give guidance?
    Is this a particular view setting in reader?
    Thanks,

  • I can't print my PDF form after it is filled out.  Only the form prints not the text that I put in

    I can't print my PDF form after filling it out.  Only the form prints and not the text I put in.

    That's a limitation of Apple's AirPrint framework that Adobe Reader depends on.  We are considering an alternate solution that may resolve this issue though.
    Thanks for your feedback.

  • Pulling out my Hair, need some help from experts out there

    Hi - I have been struggling with an issue for a week now and I was wondering if one of you can help me to solve my issue. I have done numerous searches on this topic which got me somewhat in the right direction but I'm still not getting the results I want. The end objective is simple, a non-stuttering video on YouTube. Sounds simple right?
    here is what I did:
    I have recorded some aerial footage with a GoPro 3+, added some effects in After effects, brought the results over in Premiere pro for some minor editing and then used Media encoder to get it to a format that youtube likes. My detailed steps are as follows:
    -Take GoPro footage (59.94 fps, 1920 x 1080 in H.264 codec) and transcode it through GoPro studio using the CineForm codec so it plays nice with AE (I keep my 59.94 fps and same dimensions (1920 x 180).
    -Load transcoded footage in AE (I checked if my composition settings are the same as the imported transcoded footage)
    -Apply effects (3d camera tracking, add some 3d text, some lights, environment layer) and render the clip out as a quicktime lossless file (PNG) – result is 3 clips from AE that I now want to bring into Premiere Pro for some editing
    -Import PNG file in Premiere Pro (I drag the clip to new sequence item so the sequence matches the clip I import in Premiere pro)
    -I make some minor edits in Premiere Pro (some transitions between clips, nothing fancy)
    -I then render out the footage using media encoder (or directly from Premiere, tried both) with the following settings:
    Format: h.264
    Preset: custom
    Export video and audio
    TV standard: NSTC
    Frame width: 1920
    Frame height: 1080
    FPs: 29.97 or 59.94 (results/problem is the same with both fps settings)
    Field order: progressive (greyed out – can’t change it)
    Pixel aspect ratio: 16:9 – widescreen
    Profile: main
    Level: 4.2 or 5.1 (same result for both settings)
    Render at maximum depth: checked
    Bitrate encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Target bitrate: 8 or 20 (same result with both settings but obviously larger file with higher target rate)
    Maximum bitrate: 8 or 25 (same results for both settings)
    Use maximum render quality: checked
    Audio, multiplexer etc: standard settings, no change
    The rendered video runs smoothly on my mac but when uploading this video to youtube, the video stutters. I have tried multiple settings and can’t get the video to play smooth. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
    You can watch the video here:

    Thanks.

    Rick has given you what you need, he always does.
    But the task you've described is not simple at all. It's not really an After Effects issue.
    There are many sites that offer good recommendations for maximizing your youtube workflow so your video looks the best and plays flawlessly. Youtube offers a good set of parameters. Some of this stuff is worthless, too. You've got to be selective.
    Starting out delivering a full 1080HD clip is not necessarily going to work out for you. Try rendering out to a 720 file. It's far smaller so it will be compressed much less by it's upload processor. The playback may be smoother and your audience is not going to be able to tell the difference between the 720 and a 1080 clip, most of the time. 
    Encourage you to drop back someday and let us know how you made out with Rick's advice.

  • Newby needing basic help

    this has to be the least intuitive program I've ever used. I'm trying to set my input so my son can record from his keyboard, but there is no preferences option under audio input for anything other than built-in audio. I have Line-in active in my system sound preferences. This is driving me nuts because I also would like to transfer some old LPs and cassettes to my computer.

    I too am new to Apple. I just bought a Mac Laptop with the dual Intel setup and I am struggling with my m-audio keystation. I can not get it to access any of the sounds. It is acting as if it needs a driver, but everywhere I go it says that no driver is necessary. I feel like I am missing something. I have read the posts here and I feel like I have tried all this options can someone please help.
    Also, I am using FastTrack for my inputs. Anyone using condenser mics requiring phantom power? How are you setting this up. I have a mixer that I can run a line out of into the guitar line of of the FastTrack but I am unsure if this will work.
    One last issue I am having issues with my monitors using Fast Track. My left speaker works at the proper volume level for the first couple minutes of a song then cuts to a very low volume. Is this a problem with the monitor or Fast Track.
    I realize must of this relates to M-Audio stuff but any help would be appreciated. I really want to get up and recording but I am limited to loops right now.
    Thanks,

    Hello
    I'm new in Oracle (First day in oracle), in one company i have Oracle 11g (windows server 2003), but the problem is that I need to understand:
    1) Name an location in file sistem of instances created
    2) Name an location in file sistem of databases created
    3) What is the best full backup method and how to create backups using cmd ?
    google.com didnt help me.
    Can some one help me ?

    Hi there,
    in Oracle we have a schema concept - All objects with segments are within the schema
    Every schema can use one or more tablespaces
    Each tablespace should have at least one datafile associated.
    With that said, You can run this query to know where is your schemas:
    Select owner,tablespace_name,sum(bytes/1024/1024) MB from dba_segments group by owner,tablespace_name;
    And to check the location of each tablespace:
    select tablespace_name,file_name from dba_data_files order by 1,2;
    And to check all directories that have some file from the database
