User Cannot Click on Hyperlinks in Fill-able Form

We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website. Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields. But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage. When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions. I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks. Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer. Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs. Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either. The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
Is there way to modify this?

Not sure what you mean by just the text for the hyperlink. These are true hyperlinks where there is a work or phase that shows up bold blue in the document. If I use Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view the Doc, I can click on the Hyperlinks. But other PDF programs and Chrome does not allow anyone to click on the Hyperlinks.

Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

Okay so here's the deal.....
I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
Hope I make sense.

No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
to that using the source code.

Attached secondary PDF fill-able form Non-savable

I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form...Help Please
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
I have tried to save the attachment as extended but that has not worked and also if done before inserting than the return hyperlink to the parent document will not connect because editing in not allowed.
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

You can't. Before Reader 11, you could prevent Reader users from saving by not Reader-enabling the form, but users with Acrobat, Reader for iOS, and some non-Adobe PDF viewers could fill-in and save. Reader 11 now allows filled-in forms to be saved even if the document does not include usage rights.

Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

Here is the code, thought I had put it in the first time, guess not heh. Anyway, I converted the arrayList(accountList) to a String so that I could see the that element I am trying to index is in there, which it is. I also checked the file that i'm populating the arrayList from and it also has the element in it.
public static void getAccountNumbers() {
          accountList = LoadStoreAccounts.readCollectionObject();
          accountInfo = accountList.toString();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, accountInfo);
          acctNumIndex = accountList.indexOf(accountNumber);
          acctIndex = String.valueOf(acctNumIndex);
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Index of accountNumber    is: " + acctIndex);

Can't email fill-able form

Hi I can't email a completed fill-able form.
It reads (Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program)
thanks Tom

Hi genshield,
To email a PDF, you will have to have a valid desktop email application(like microsoft outlook) on your machine.
If you dont have an email application configured on your machine, you can use adobe SendNow Online from tools->send files.

User cannot Click Anywhere to Continue on some quiz slides

In Captivate 4, on some quiz slides, after the correct answer has been submitted, the user must click on the "click anywhere to continue" box in order to move ahead. This happens only on some quiz slides. Others, the user really can click anywhere. And, this doesn't happen all the time on every computer. It usually happens on the same slides but not always. It happens in Explorer and Firefox and occasionally Chrome, but not as often. Haven't encountered the problem using Safari, yet, but have tested it.
I reported it through the report bug link in case it is a bug. All of the slides have the same setting, so I don't know why it's happening on some slides and not others.

Hi there
Thanks for reporting as a bug. I might suggest that as a work around, you change the captions to read "Click here to continue". At least it would guide the user to the right and expected outcome.
Cheers... Rick

Having Reader be able to save a completed fill able form.

Is there any way to allow someone with Reader to have the ability to save the information added in on a fill able PDF form? I have tried several different things and it always says it can only save a blank document.
What about having the email submit button automatically email the person who is filling the information in? As in the email will vary based on which desktop it is being filled on.
Or do they need standard or professional? If so, would standard do the job?

Trust me, Acrobat Pro will allow you to both save the filled out PDF AND save the XML, separately. Reader WILL NOT allow you to do this, but if you have an email button. The point of reader extensions is to allow people without Acrobat to be able to save a filled out form, thus why reader is free. Reader extensions works on a form by form basis, so it can be portable. Acrobat Pro, which ISNT free, allows you to do all of this, which is why it isnt free. The point is that Adobe doesnt want anyone to have any save capability without having to pay for it first. If you have a form with an email submit button, you can open it in reader, click it, and email the xml with the values in it.

Newbie with fill-able form distribution questions

Please can someone help me understand a few things about creating electronic forms in LiveCyle Designer ES so our HR department can:
Make the blank forms available on our Intranet
Make the forms fill-able by our own employees with Intranet access and Acrobat Reader 6 and above.
Allow the form and the form data to be emailed back to HR as an PDF attachment
Allow HR to send out the part filled form as an email attachment to Authorising managers (numerous people involved in the authorisation process)
Allow the authorising managers to submit their authorisations back to HR
Allow HR to store and print the completed forms with all the authorisations (not digital signatures, just email addresses I think)
Is the above possible just using LiveCycle Designer ES (stand-alone version) to create the forms, saving as 6.x, setting the compatibility tab settings correctly, sending to HR so they can do the distribution bit in Acrobat and then putting the form_distributed.pdf file on the Intranet? Or do we need other tools to accomplish the above?
Best Regards to all.

I'm pretty sure this is possible with a standalone version of LiveCycle Designer. I don't believe any of the functionality you described requires a LiveCycle server. My only caution would be the use of Adobe Reader 6.0. At the very least, if you can push the use Reader 7.0 (or even better 8.0), your ideas will function better. There is a pretty big gap from 6.0-7.0. If you'd like to discuss this further, feel free to email me.
Hope this helps!

Cannot find a way to fill in forms

i am trying to fill in scholarship applications off of a high school website. i have talked to the webmaster and she says they are prepared with adobe pro. i am using Windows Vista, i have also tried on machines using XP. i have Adobe Reader 8.1.0 and also have Adobe 7.0 standard. should i be able to fill in the blanks on a document using one of these application? here is a sample of where i am trying to work from http://www.adrian.k12.mo.us/mfa%20foundation%20scholarship.pdf perhaps someone can tell me for sure if this is a fillable file or not. any help will be appreciated as i am running out of time!! also if this is NOT a fillable form please tell me what the school can do to make it so there are a lot of parents in the same predicament

There are no fillable fields in the form, so you can't do anything to fill it with Reader or with Acrobat Standard, except for printing it and filling it by hand. You could create the necessary fields with Acrobat Pro (not Standard). Obviously, the person who made the PDF forgot to create them, or didn't know they were needed...

Reader 9.5.4 "Glitching" when moving about in a fill-able form

Win 7 x64
Lenovo M91p
Using adobe Reader 9.5.4 to view and edit a form that we use constently. user is having a "glitching" issue where the mouse is slow to reacte and shows the Win 7 load circle for a split second. Other users around her are using the same version of adobe and using the form without issue. \
I have uninstalled and reinstalled with there still being an issue
the form isnt the issue (others are using it without fail)
Checked for updates - Updated
Baffled as to what is going on with this form and "glitching"

Sorry, I have no explanation for this phenomenon.
If I encountered that problem I would try some of these things:
uninstall and resinstall Reader (uninstall perhaps using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html)
do some disk cleaning, perhaps using CCleaner
defragment the HD

Is there a tutorial for uploading fill- able forms to website and making them submit-table?

I want to upload a couple of fillable forms (pdf's) to website and allow customers to fill and submit. Is there a tutorial out there for this that someone could point me to? I can't seem to find one that really answers my questions.

A problem you'll encounter with those types of forms is security when transmitting the data. Obviously, the forms will contain sensitive information, and using email or a non-secure posting to a web server would not be acceptable. I personally would not send such data that way.
It's possible to set up the form and web server so that the data is submitted securely. If your web server can handle that, it would be the best way to go. You would have to somehow program the web server to manage it all. Now I'm being vague, but that's because there are a lot of details to consider.

How to create fill-able document and enable signature in it ?

I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.0
I want to create a fill-able form with signature feature that I want to put on windows tablet.
So that anyone with the table can got o customer and ask the customer to fill out the form and sign in and then I should be able to save that PDF document.
Please help me with the process - Also, if I remember correctly digital sign in PDF form is a process of importing the signature file ? if yes, t hen is there any other way to just sign it by stylus or digital pen ? because importing a signature will protected with a password is just a long process and might be annoying for the customer to go throught the whole process for only signature.
Please HELP..
I also read somewhere that I can also create web forms - I would also like to learn about that ?

In my requirement, a person will go with tablet to the customer and tablet will have a document that needs to be filled by each customer.
The person will fill out the form and customer will sign it on the tablet. I just want to make the process easy, digital signing in not a very easy process and not very secured because customer might thing why we are saving the sign on our tablet. Also, if we have 1000s of signs saved, it will be dificult to manage all the signs and every time customer have to put the password (and remember the password). This process is way too long and not efficient.
Do I have EchoSign feature in Adobe Acrobat X Pro version 10.0 ?
By looking at the Echosign feature online it seems like anybody can sign the document by just typing the name and the sign is based on the name, what if someone's sign is different ? Also the document needs to be emailed to echosign website then to receiver. It takes times, what if customer is on site and now in front of computer ?
Also I am thinking about adding ink pen on my document so that anybody can sign it, what do you think about this alternative ?

Fill-able pdf form behavior

I have a fill-able pdf form that spans 5 pages. When I enter data into line 1 of the fill-able form, the same text appears in line 1 of each page of the document. How can I stop this from happening?

Most likely this is how the form was designed, intentionally or unintentionally.
