Acrobat Help | Creating and distributing PDF forms

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html

Unless I am reading this incorrectly, in Acrobat Help, webpage http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html, it looks like step 5 under header "Distribute (send) forms to recipients" is incomplete. Step 5 ends with "...do one of the following:" and that is simply followed by a notation, not two steps.

  • I created and distributed my form. How do I see and print the returned form?

    I need to know how I can print the returned form?
    Thanks

    Yes - in both the "Basic" and "Plus" level account you will be able to "Download Response as PDF Form" which downloads a PDF that looks like the original form filled out.  There are a few caveats to that, the layout may change in the PDF to accommodate fields where the text input was larger than the field, the field will "grow" to display all of the text so it can be printed correctly.  Also, attachments would not be included in the downloaded PDF response.
    Have a look at this PDF since it goes over designing for PDF, and the information on "Page Breaks" in "Page View" will apply to any PDF saved from the form (not only for distribution, but also the Response PDF), you will want to use that info to add Page Breaks in Page View for your downloaded PDFs: Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms

  • Create and populate pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

    Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name.  I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by other users.  This users would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email.  I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X.  However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record.  So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record?  Do I need to use Java within LC Designer?  Or use Adobe Pro?  I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
    Thank you in advance

  • Need help creating a fillable PDF form from a Word Doc coverted to PDF

    Hello, I recently switched from the downloaded program to the monthly "subscription type" of adobe "cloud".  Previously, I was able to select in "Tools" the option to insert blue text boxes in my PDF where customers could fill in  info and return to me.  Now, I can no longer find this option on the Adobe Reader XI. Am I missing something?

    You're using Reader instead of Acrobat... Only Acrobat can edit PDF files.

  • Business Catalyst Help | Create and insert a form

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/create-insert-form.html

    I want to ask also if the opt-in forms in business catalyst can be embedded on a different website that's not hosted in BC. Like other email clients (mailchimp, aweber etc.) you can embed their forms to any website.
    Is this possible for the BC email marketing forms?

  • Acrobat Standard (9.4.6) - Issue: "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form"

    I have Adobe Acrobat Standard (version 9.4.6).  I am trying to create a form but when I start the form wizard, locate the document to convert and click next, I get an error message "Acrobat could not create a new PDF form."  What's wrong?  (I've used this feature before in Adobe Pro so I am familiar with the process but I am using Standard now).  It's not letting me upload my document (an MS Word 2003 document).  Please, someone, anyone, help!  I think I got a bad batch of software here.  Any suggestions?  If it's hopeless, who do I call for a replacement if that's the case?  Is this software under warranty?

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your email.  The file I am trying to convert to PDF and create a form with is a MS Office Word 2003 file.  It isn't any specific file; the issue happens every time.  I type my text in the Word doc and then proceed to open Adobe Acrobat Standard and use the wizard to create a form from an existing file.  I tried to repairing the software but it does not help.  Any other suggestions?  Is this version of software defective?  I really need this feature.  I look forward to your reply.  Thanks.

    Hi Joseph,
    Unfortunately, no. But Adobe does offer a free 30-day trial of Acrobat (absolutely no obligation). So, you could download the trial to fix up the form. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. Acrobat is also offered on a subscription basis.

I am also unalbe to find a form reset button to add to my form. How can I create a from with these features. The form I want to make it fillable PDf to emailed to customers.
    thanks.

    Hi;
    Re: Help Icon - The PDF does not display the "?" like the web form.  In the PDF when you mouse over the field and hover for 1-2 seconds the help text is shown in a tooltip.
    Re: Form Reset button (Clear Form) - FormsCentral does not provide a clear form button but you can add it in Acrobat.  You will want to open the PDF in Acrobat and then follow these two tutorials:
    In order to Edit the FormsCentral PDF in Acrobat you will need to read this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
    This tutorial shows you how to add the "Clear" button to the form: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/quick-tip-how-to-add-a-reset-button-to-a-f orm/
    Are you planning save the form as a "Submission Enabled PDF" and collect responses using FormsCentral?  If you are not, and simply want the responses or PDF emailed back to you on submission you can see this tutorial: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7dd6.w .html

  • Saving XDP data into a Distributed PDF form

    I have a distributed PDF form that I am able to save form data into.
    I also have the XDP form data that I wish to populate using a program and open in Adobe Reader.
    I need that form data to be saved into the PDF, so that I can send the PDF via email to someone, where they will fill out the rest and send it back.
    I can programmatically open the XDP with adobe reader, but the form isn't automatically saved, which means the user would have to remember to save the data when closing the window. I would rather have something that is automated.
    Is there a way to push the form data to the PDF without requiring the user to say Yes to a prompt?

    Thanks for the response George. About the same moment when I created this post, I came accross an article online which provided same solution as that which you have mentioned. So, I made the PDF form "Reader-Enabled" using Acrobat Professional. The outcome is that using "Internet Explorer", I am now able to save information I type into the the online PDF form. However it still won't work if I use "mozilla firefox".
    Do you have any idea why Mozilla firefox won't save the information typed into the online PDF form even when I have enabled reader function with Acrobat Professional?

  • Acrobat is unable to distribute this form??

    Hi
    Ive been building a form over the last few weeks in LiveCycle ES2. It's nothing too complicated (text / date entry , drop downs, repeating row tables etc) - there is no validation set at all at the moment or any kind of signature.
    My issue is that I am recieving an error message when I attempt to distribute the form:
    "acrobat is unable to distribute this form" - that's it. No other information to help find the cause of the problem
    I am using Acobat X version 10.1.4
    Has anyone seen this before? Can you help me at least know where to start looking for issues please?
    Thanks
    Ellis

    Just to add
    I've systematically removed each section of the form, testing to see if this distribution error is related to a particular element. However I have got all the way back to just the master page (which you are unable to delete) no content at all and I still get the error?
    Could this be a target version thing?
    Really clutching at straws tbh
    Unless anyone can advise my only optio will be to rebuild the form using the objects in the broken form and see if that works?
    Thanks in anticipation!
