Acrobat Pro 8 - Fillable Forms

I have adobe acrobat Pro 8. I work for a real estate company and have made all of our contracts fillable and have uploaded them to our Intranet. Our agents will fill these forms out and send them to their clients for review. Is there a way for the agent to fill out the form and then some how save it so that the client is not able to make any changes??

Here are some previous topics where I've discussed this approach in a bit more detail:

Note that neither of these set the default value as I suggested, but that would just be a single additional line of code. If you need someone to set this up for you, feel free to contact me offline.

Can an Acrobat Pro DC fillable form have a submit by email button that works in all browsers?

Last time I attempted to make an online fillable pdf form the submit (to email) button wouldn't work in all browsers.
Has this been addressed in Acrobat Pro DC?
What is the best way to obtain a successful result?

Two issues may affect the ability to successfully receive the PDF submission:
First, the built-in PDF "Viewers" lack the ability to submit PDF form and form data, viewers are not compatible with Live-Cycle XFA PDFs, and they lack Extended Reader Rights proprietary to Adobe Software. End-users will need to disable the default built-in viewer, and enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer on the default browser.
Visit the following website to learn how to enable Adobe Reader: Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
Second, submitting to an email address may not send; because, the default client-side email may not be configured correctly. To bypass client-side email software you can set the submit button action to point an URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.net. The script can take the submission and send using SMTP account without the need for OUTLOOK or web-mail.
Visit the following website for online server-side script examples:

Adobe Pro 10 fillable forms on my website not so great now on different browsers...?

Why do my Adobe Pro 10 fillable forms on my website work great in Explorer and Chrome and when downloaded but do not open in Mac, Windows 8, and look funny in Firefox?

And sad thing is the adobe PDF Plugin doesn't work on Mac in which you can view, Print and fillout through any browsers, be it : Chrome, FF, SeaMonkey, Opera, Maxthon, Safari, OmniWeb, iCab. Even PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert of Germany doesn't work well and may not even work with Yosemite. The Adobe plugin hasn't worked with Mac in ages. And I've continually requested that it be fixed. And last time I received a nasty note from Adobe saying they had no intention of ever fixing it. That they would rather concentrate on new features than fixing any bugs that crop up.

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.

Change the "Instructions Line" in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro for fillable forms

I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro - Currently the Instructions say "Please fill out the following form" - I need to change it to "Fill out highlighted fields, choose "Print Form", and follow Instructions on printed Form". I don't know how to customize the default instructions.

You don't have the ability to change that. If you did, it could be used to spoofing purposes. You can display instructions in a popup dialog or button on the page that when clicked hides itself.

Three questions re Acrobat 9 Std fillable forms

I am creating 2 fillable forms in Acrobat 9 that I want to post as links on my website. Data will be sent to Acrobat.com for collection. My questions are:
(1) How do I get the link(s) to post on my website?
(2) Is there a limit as to how much data can be sent to Acrobat.com?
(3) Can we send our notification emails separately (just through our email client) notifying recipients of the links on the website?
Thanks ahead.

As I got no responces from the online community and our call to Adobe didn't net a solution, I did a complete re-Install. So far the problem hasn't been replecated.

Acrobat Pro: Create PDF Form Export so it's not editable User fills out and info is emailed back to me

I have zero experience with PDF forms. A client needs to have the email addresses changed in an older PDF form, so I've opened it in Acrobat Pro, changed the existing email addresses and am now stuck. How do I save it so it's not editable by the end-user? Everything I've tried (Distribution via email, flattening, security) have not worked; either the form fields get stripped out or I receive nothing via email and I can still open the distributed form and edit the fields.
I need it so the end-user will view the form in their browser
Fill out the fields
Click submit and the info is sent back to me via email.
If they download the PDF they can NOT edit it.
Thanks!
Tim

Open the PDF and do the following: File> Save As> Reader Extended PDF> Enable Additional Features

Acrobat Pro 7.0 form creation, email responses are blank

I created a fill in form for email submission in Adobe Designer 7.0. Some of the responses are coming back blank and some are coming back with the data. What is the difference and how can I quickly correct this?
Wendy Sheasley

You should really ask in the Designer forum since that is the product you used to create the form (even if you did not realize it). In that sense I agree with Michael. However, just have the folks send back the form data, not the entire form. This saves a lot on the size of the e-mail and also means you have no limits since it does not have to be saved in the PDF. The data can then be imported into the FORM.
It is typical for folks to start by trying to submit by e-mail. That is dangerous since it depends on the client machine over which you typically have no control. If possible, it is always best to try to submit to a web script.

Fillable form sometimes erases saved data after brief appearance

I have created a fillable employee evaluation form using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 forms wizard. The form does have Adobe Reader enhanced features enabled, as the users have mostly Reader 9 or Reader X. This form is used by supervisors to conduct annual evaluations, at dozens of different sites. Users are able to save the form on their hard drives, then fill the form and save it under another file name on their own hard drive. Sometimes, but not always, when they open the saved file, the information that they have filled out will appear briefly (2-3 seconds), then disappear. If they know to do so, they can hit "File" and "Revert" and the text will reappear, if they do not know to do this, the blank form is saved, even if they close that blank file without saving.
I have been able to replicate this problem only when using Reader - not when using the Pro version. Again, the Adobe Reader enhanced feature are already enabled, and users are able to save the forms on their computers - it is only occasionally that the filled form data "disappears", and can only be recalled with File and Revert - and only if they don't panic and close the file before taking this step. Suggestions? Thanks.

If you are using a non-Adobe product to view the PDF then that product may not support all of the forms feature that Adobe products support.

A Fillable Form in pdf

Can Coldfusion create a form/pdf that has fillable fields
that can be filled out & then printed??
I've seen where it popultes a pdf form already to create a
new pdf static page, but I don't want to purchase Acrobat Pro to
make form fields....is that the only way?
....and what are the sites out there doing that has a
subsrciption to use their service for them to create fillable web
forms?

I used LiveCycle Designer to create a .pdf form. You have to
name each field and use that name in the cfpdfformparam call. The
user can fill in fields and then print. This isn't nearly as
involved as submitting the fields they filled in back to
ColdFusion.

How do you set up Communication between QuickBooks & Acrobat Pro X

How do you Set up your Acrobat Pro X Pdf Form to communicate with Intuit QuickBooks 10? Is there special formatting that is involved or is all in the field names? I have a detailed form that I would like to import the data into Quick Books but I seem to be running in circles and not a straight line. Can you help me in this matter?
Thank you in advance - Badgeteam

Hi,
We don't have Quickbooks, however having had a look here are some comments:
Acrobat (for Windows) has some Quickbook templates, which are already set up with a data connection to Quickbooks.
You should use these, as their structure is set up for you.
If you open Acrobat, there is an option for Quickbooks from the Forms menu.
When you select a template, you will be prompted to open this in LiveCycle Designer.
Once in LC Designer you can examine the objects and their binding (Object > Binding palette).
You will also notice that there is a script objects "QuickBooks" under variables in the hierarchy. It is highly unlikely that you will need to change anything here, I am just highlighting that it exists and again that it is better to use one of the templates.
As I don't have Quickbooks, I can't be of much help. There is more information available here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/3D/WS4E66C448-C5F3-444c-ACE4-778DE09A30B5.html

Why can't users save data in fillable form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

I have created a fillable pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have everything working great. When I send it to users they can fill in all of the information, but they can not save the data in the form. I have followed these instructions before I send the form to the users: (Acrobat Pro) Type in non-fillable forms (File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
The form includes text fields, radio buttons, e-signatures (x).
I have researched for days, spoke to countless "Adobe Chat Room Techs" and still have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I am so desperate for help. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've created a form in LiveCycle Designer & Acrobat X, and saved it.
However, when I open it up with Adobe Reader XI, I get the following message
What am I doing wrong?
This used to be a relatively simple process, and now I'm completely confused with how I enable saving forms that others have filled out.
If I'm understanding what has been written in this thread previously, this is now normal functionality that doesn't require special settings like it had previously.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Fillable forms in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to create a fillable form from one of my word documents. I have a field with 7 drop down boxes. Within the drop down, there a 4 choices and each choice has a numerical value.
i.e. One drop down box is: Safety and the 4 choices are:
Critical event = 20
Documented near-miss = 15
Risk = 10
No safety issue = 0
I want the user to choose one and then have the numerical value autopopulate
There are 7 of these drop downs that will have a grand total.
Is there a way to do this in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

I looked up a javascript but I don't think I did it correctly.
I have a very basic calculation:
Safety: Dropdown list containing:
     Critical = 20
     Documented near-miss = 15
     Risk = 10
     No safety issue = 0
Next to the dropdown I have a text field text box where the user can enter the numerical value (0, 10, 15, 20)
Then I have a Total Score text field text box where I used the "Calculate" tab, "Value is the sum", "Simplified field notation": then I picked the 7 fields
This returns the total of the entries in the 7 boxes
Just seems like there should be a simpler way.

Unable to read info on fillable form created in Acrobat Pro XI

I created a fillable form using Acrobat XI Pro that our office staff use. Our field staff cannot view the information on the fillable fields from their mobile devices. They can from their laptops and computers - Mac or Window. I just got off the phone with Support and I was told that this is still under "testing" and that they are not supporting it at this time. I just updated from Acrobat 9 Pro and did not have this kind of problem before. Can you confirm that there is no solution at this time?

What PDF viewer are they using on the mobile devices? It won't work with the default viewer for iOS for example, because it does not support forms. Adobe Reader for iOS and Android have limited support for forms, while other PDF viewers have more or less than Reader.
