In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list?

In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list... so that a user is REQUIRED to make selection instead?
I've set the question as "required", but the default answer makes this useless.
I want to make sure people actively answer this question rather than accidentally missing it, and me ending up with the default rather than the correct answer!

Thanks Gilad.
Similar to what you suggested, I utlimately opted to put a question mark "?" as the default answer - it's just a pity this doesn't address my need for users to be "required" to answer the question.

  • How can I add more than five URLs to the address bar drop down list?

    How many URLs can the Awesome Bar hold in the drop down list? I was showing five, but when I tried to add a sixth by cutting and pasting the URL in the address bar and clicking "Enter", it did not show up. Can the Awesome Bar hold more than five?

    It is possible that you have an extension that sets this value to a lower setting than the current default of 12.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • When creating a fillable PDF form can I add a password to only selected fields?

    I am creating a fillable form which will require data entry from several different people before being returned to my office. There are certain fields on the form that need to be restricted to personnel in my office only. I have tried to accomplish this restriction many different ways but have been unsuccessful.
    The closest I have come to accomplishing this restriction is by adding a "For HRO Only" button which I can use to hide certain fields from personnel outside of my office and unhide the text field when the button is clicked. This would be perfect if I could add a password to the button. Unfortunately this is either not possible or I haven't figured out how to do it which means that personnel outside of my office can still access the fields with a click of a button.
    The only other way I have thought of to accomplish this restriction is to mark those fields as "read only" but it seems as though it would be very time consuming for personnel in my office to complete the form due to the fact that they would have to open "edit form",  open the properties for each field requiring their input, and uncheck "read only" for each one.
    Any help/options/ideas you can provide will be greatly appreciate. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for the quick response. This will be a huge help! I hate to be a bother, but can you tell me the steps to create the script or give me a reference/resouce to use? I have used adobe products quite a bit, but this is my first time creating a PDF Fillable Form that will be distributed for use by several people so I am a little lost.
    Also, I seem to be running into one more problem that I am hoping you can help me figure out. On the form there is a question for the recipient  to answer by checking one of two boxes, yes or no. Depending on the answer an action is initiated. This feature works perfectly, however the issue is that when the recipient choses "yes" he/she is directed to fill out four additional fields that I currently have set as "required", but when the recipient choses "No" the four additional fields are hidden yet still required. This becomes an issue when the recipient has completed the form and tries to submit the form. An error message pops up notifying the user there are required fields that are empty and must be completed before submission.
    My thought is (in a perfect world) one of these two options would be ideal:
    1. When the "No" option is chosen the four additional fields are changed from required to not required, or
    2. When the "No" option is chose the four additional required fields are autopopulated with NA.
    Either remedy would work just fine, however I am open to suggestions... Again thank you so much for your help with my previous question and thank you in advance for any information/help/advice you can provide in regards to my second question.

  • Designing a fillable PDF - drop-down list

    Designing a fillable PDF - how does one copy the content of the "text" box of one drop-down list to paste into "text" boxes of multiple drop-down lists for the same form?

    You can't copy and paste the values from the object palette definition but you can copy and paste the entire object...would that not do the same thing?

  • Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

    Hi,
    We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
    Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
    Please provide suitable answers.

  • Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form?  If so, how?

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed.  I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field.  The procedure for creating these escapes me.  Does anyone have any insight?

    Hi Gilad,
    thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
    Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
    One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
    Kind Regards,
    Pete

  • Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

    I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

    I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
    1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
    2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
    3. If it's a browser
    (a) what is the browser
    (b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

  • Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

    Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?  My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it.  Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

    Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat.  There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  • NEW! Import Fillable PDF Form and Collect Responses

    FormsCentral now allows you to import an existing fillable PDF form and use the FormsCentral service to collect and analyze the submitted data. You no longer have to recreate your existing PDF forms within the service in order to take advantage of FormsCentral’s data collection/analysis capabilities.
    You can also use popular tools like Adobe Acrobat X Pro or Adobe InDesign to create PDF forms that work with FormsCentral.
    To import a PDF form go to the “My Forms” tab, click the More button on the toolbar and select “Import PDF Form.” Note: FormsCentral does not support PDF forms created using the LiveCycle Designer (XML-based forms).
    Once imported the normal Design tab is replaced with an “Imported Form” tab that allows you to place a Submit button on the PDF form. You can place it on the top left or right of the first page, or place it on the bottom left or right of the last page. A thumbnail shows where the button will appear.
    Click to view larger image
    The Options tab shows options that are available for PDF forms (Note: PDF Forms do not support Redirect URLs or Payments so these are not shown)
    Click to view larger image
    The Distribute tab allows you to open the form and download the submit-enabled PDF file for distribution. The PDF file can be filled out, saved and submitted using the free Adobe Reader.
    Click to view larger image
    The Response and Summary Report tabs will show the data submitted from the PDF form. They function as they do for a normal form file that you created from scratch or template.

    I followed this process to import my PDF form.  The link I have on my web page is displaying an error from FormsCentral.  The link works but the web page is confusing to customers.  The message is: 
    An error has occurred.
    The form does not exist. Please re-enter the web address as the link may be misspelled.
    When I saved the submission-enabled PDF, I could only save it to my computer.  I then had to upload it to the web site server and created a link on my web page to point to that URL.  
    How can I get rid of the Adobe FormsCentral message on the web page?

  • Acrobat 9Pro - How to add a submit (to email address) button for an online fillable PDF form.

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but this is my first time trying to add a submit button to the bottom of a online fillable pdf form. I have 5 of these froms to do. I need the user to go to my website, click the link to open an online fillable form, fill it out and click a submit button in the form, so it can be emailed to an individual. I thought I followed all the steps correctly in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, every which way I could find, but the form gives me an error "this operation not permitted", it's in IE, created in Vista and I now have a headache. Do I need to add extra code to my website html somewhere?
    Does anyone have the neccessary steps to make this work, a video would be even better. Do I have to have this LifeCycle Designer thing?

    Some comments based on your application:
    1. It looks like might likely exceed the 500 use limit, in that case to not use Reader Rights or you will violate the license. The cost beyond that can be negotiated with Adobe (if they will talk to you), but don't expect it to be check. In that case, submit the form data as and FDF file. This file can be imported into the form at your end and get exactly the same results as if the whole form had been sent. The FDF submission does not require Reader Rights. The parent will still be able to print the form, but saving would require having Acrobat, not Reader.
    2. A lot of the data appears to be personal in terms of the name of children, addresses, etc. It would be a good idea to check with legal counsel about submitting such information by e-mail, particularly for children. E-mail is not generally considered secure, unless you possibly used some form of secure e-mail. For that reason you should consider submitting the data to a web script that would be stored someplace for you to obtain it and possibly send you a notice of receipt. A secure website is preferred for this use. You should keep the option open for anyone to submit the form in paper if they object to the potential security risks with your online submission method.
    I know those put rinkles in your forms, but for such an application it is a good idea to consider the potential consequences if you do not worry about the form security and number of uses. The potential is to put you out of business or more. OK, an extremist view, but worth considering.
