Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 Form Locks Up at Beginning of Each New Page

I have created a submittable form using Acrobat Professional  7.  It is a 14 page form with somewhere  between 1,000 and 1,500 fillable fields (I have not counted them exactly).  I created this form from an existing PDF that was provided to me and by using the forms tools bar to place text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and text areas at the appropriate places using the existing PDF as a template for where to put the fields.
In testing this form I am having the following, reproducible problem:   Whenever I try to fill out the form by moving through it rapidly, i.e., filling out a few of the fields on a page but skipping most of them, when I first move on to the next page I am unable to maintain an blinking cursor and therefore not able to enter data into any of the fields from that page on.  I AM allowed to move backward to fill out fields on the previous page(s) but not move forward to the next.  What I have found is that if I wait on the form long enough (5 minutes say) that control will come back and I can continue filling it out.   I have also noticed that if I take the time necessary to fill out each and every field on a page that I do not experience this problem.  At this time the only required field on the form is the Name field which is the first one.
I would greatly appreciate any help I could get to solve this problem.

Are you on Windows or the Mac? The Mac tends to have more performance issues like this than Windows.
What I do in situations like this is start with the original PDF, one that has never had any fields added. Then copy all of the fields from your current version to this new version, one page of fields at a time. Save As after each page, and don't save as optimized (fast web view). Don't worry about placing the fields in the exact positions at first as you're initially testing to see if the behavior you describe remains.

    What is the best method for exporting or converting an existing FormsCentral form into an adobe acrobat pro fillable form?

    Good day in2psy,
    As FormsCentral is a web-based service that hosts the forms you create, you cannot download them and use them locally on your computer.

  • Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

    I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
    I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
    1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
    2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
    3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
    Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
    I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Individual, Creative cloud, single app, Adobe Acrobat Pro X1, Forms and Responses allowed

    Dear forum,
    Firstly many apologies if this is a stupid question or if it has been answered before, but I'm very new to using FormsCentral only in the past few days.
    I purchased an Individual Creative cloud, single app plan at £17.58 per month for only Adobe Acrobat Pro X1, I am able it seems allowed to create forms etc, however are there any responses per form limit for my subscription? when looking at the features for the Adobe Acrobat Pro X1 product it only says FormsCentral is included and does not suggest any limitations. However, I've seen other comments which suggest needing to upgrade, but I have not seen any messages asking me to. I would prefer to know the limitations now rather than doing an important project form and then suddenly see messages appear once 50, or so responses have arrived  ?
    Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
    kind regards
    kevin

    Hi,
    You get a free subscription with FormsCentral with Acrobat Pro XI. You will only be able to create one form and collect 50 responses. To get more functionality, you'll need to upgrade to basic or plus plan. Please check out Pricing options - Free, Basic, and Plus options | Adobe FormsCentral.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X Forms Error

    I have created a form using Lifecyle Designer ES2. After I save the form as Reader Extended PDF enabling addition features, I open the form with Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro X and get a message "This operation is not permitted". After clicking "OK" serveral time the messages goes away and form will save in Reader with data just fine. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix or troubleshoot this issue?
    Designer indicates no warnings or error messages.

    This was posted in March and still there is no update! Can Adobe please address this issue?
    Thank you

  • Adobe X pro, export forms data to fdf, then import into new form using automation?

    Is there a faster way to export 13 page forms pdf data out to fdf and then import I back into a new pdf form. There are a total of 167 pdf files with total of 130 some field on each form. The fields are all the same in each document. I want  to make a macro or script to automate this process.  I don’t want to to open all 167 files then export them one at a time.  then creat167 new files and import all that data back in.  Also each file is the name of the person who filled it out.  I could automate the copying of the new 2012 pdf to make 167 new ones each with their name using VBA. But if that could be automated in adobe great. 
    We have to make new admission forms for next year. Currently all the dates and fees are this year. So I had to update all the pages in Publisher and reprint them to pdf.  We are sending the forms back to people with the data already entered since 95% of it did not change. This helps save them time in having to re-fill out the entire form again.
    Or any other suggestions
    TIA

    try67, I do have Pro as stated in the title “Adobe X pro, …”
    George,
    the position of the forms fields is exactly the same. But now that I think of it the data in the pdf’s is slightly older than the exported info in Access as I explain further below.
    George, I can create 167 files in an instant using VBA, I in fact have all the names in Access and did this already.
    I also forgot, I have all the data from all the forms in Access now. So it would be better to use that since it is more up to date than the pdf forms. Any email and phone number changes were changed in Access.  I clicked Manage Form data/ export to txt in Adobe and imported that into Access with a VBA and a macro.
    So I really just need to open each particular file and import the data into it.
    So can I call the whole process from VBA? Using a Active-X reference in VBA to get to control Adobe?
    I write VBA in my sleep so if it can be done there, Fantastic.

  • How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0.  They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.

  • Need to edit a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro X but now I can't edit the form questions, I know I'm missing something obvious but its driving me nuts right now.

    I Squared R, LLC

  • How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

    How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

    This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
    and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
    You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
    If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 Won't Let me Save a Filled PDF Form

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 to fill out financial forms for my budget and finance department. The thing is, I can only print the form out when completed, but can't save it (I use "Save As" and rename the file).
    When I do "Save As," the next time I pull up the form I see the data I inputted for a split second and then it is all erased automatically.
    This is frustrating as I need the data to be available every time I open the form.
    I am using Windows XP Professional on a Dell Optiplex 755 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz with 1.96 GB RAM. Again, I am not using Reader, I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.
    Thanks!

    There is probably some JavaScript either as a document level script or page open action that is clearing the fields. If you edit your preferences you can turn off Acrobat's JavaScript,but this will also prevent calculations for running as they use JavaScript.
    You could also export the the data as an FDF file and then import the data after the form is opened.

  • Issue with Submit a form in Adobe Acrobat pro XI

    I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am using a submit form button.  I want the body of the email to display a html version of the PDF, however, instead it attaches the file as a *.tmp file and does not show up in the body.  What am I am missing?  (also, outlook blocked access to the file and claimed it to be a potentially unsafe attachment, but trying with other e-mail editors i still had no luck)
    Also, is there a way to do this in javascript? if so, how?
    (I would like to know how to do it with and without javascript if available - im learning)

    not really, someone else mentioned that it could be done and they said they saw it before.  I've been beating myself up for a while trying to figure out how to get it to happen.   Is there an easy way to get the content of the pdf form into an email body with plain text when pressing a submit by email button?
    Such as...
    <label name>: <txtfield content>
    First name:  <txtfield content>
    ...etc..

  • Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

    Hello all,
    I am having issues- big ones- please help!
    I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
    This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
    I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
    Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
    I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
    Don't know what else to do.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    A.

    I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it.  Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format? 
    For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out.  They fill it out and click a button to email it to me.  When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
    Thank you for your help thus far.  It has been much  more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

  • I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
    Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
    I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
    The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
    Some other ideas?
    Thank you though!
