Adobe Forms Central Retirement - What Next

What software will be available to create forms when Adobe Forms Central retires in July?

Hi Phyllis,
You'd be happy to know there are some great options out there. Adobe recommended a few alternatives in their retirement announcement, including my company, JotForm. To be completely honest, there are several reasons why JotForm is the best alternative, but I'll quickly mention two of them.
1) Automatic, one-step import from FormsCentral. We're the only form builder to offer such an easy way to transfer all existing forms and data.
2) Almost identical feature offering. JotForm even has a new Fillable PDF Form Creator.
Let me know if you have any questions about making the switch! Thanks.
Cheers,
Chad Reid
Director of Communications, JotForm

  • Modifying a PDF created from an Adobe Forms Central form.

    I've created a PDF from an Adobe Forms Central online form (Create PDF from web page). I was surprised that all of the text fields were created for me, but was happy that I may not have to reverse engineer everything.
    However the layout for the form is for a web-based submission and not really the right size for a PDF that I can attach in an email, potentially for printing. I'd like it to be printable at 8.5X11 if possible. There are also a few aspects of it that I would like to remove since it has instructions and the button for online submission. I want people to have the option of printing or filling out the form, saving it, and replying with it as an attachment.
    Is it possible to modify the PDF at this point to reduce its size? Can I remove the instructions on what to do as well as the submit button, especially while saving the background coloring? It seems like there is quite a bit of wasted space with the headers/footers too. At 8.5X14, it still hangs over into page 2.
    The form can be found at: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=oEsnPs*6J8xiF7XlraAsLA
    Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not the one who created the form and don't have any templates or anything that were used.

    Steve, if you have access to the form in Formscentral, you can temporarily add a second page in Formscentral.  Go to the place you want a page break, and click on the + button on the left top of the field where you want the break, and click on the "Page break".  Now when you go to the HTML form it should show you only one page, with a next button to go to the second page.  You could then copy the URL into Acrobat's "Create PDF" and get tha page.  Then click on the next button in the HTML to go to the second page.  You should be able to create the second page from that one too, and then combine the 2 pages in your PDF.  When you're done you could remove the page break back in Formscentral.
    Hope that helps

  • Problem with Submit Button in Adobe Forms Central

    I have a PDF form that I uploaded to Adobe Forms Central.  I created the fillable fields & the submit button in Forms Central.  I have several documents like this.  All have worked in the past.  Today on my latest file, the submit button doesn't always work.  I am getting some submissions, but some people have reported to me that the submit button does not work.  I tested it myself to see.  I had to create a Digital ID for myself, which seemed to work fine.  But when I click on submit, the form says "Submission Failed.  This form can no longer be submitted. Please contact the author."  I'm the author & don't know what the problem is.  Anyone know what the problem could be?

    The form is open. I should have mentioned that I made sure to check that first.  The form was created by uploading an existing PDF file that I created from a MS Word file to Adobe FormsCentral. Once the form was completed, I had a coworker test it & it worked.  We sent the form out & I have received some back, but have also received reports of the form not working.  I downloaded the form to my computer & tested it using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard.  I use a Windows environment on a Dell laptop.  The form does not work for me.

    Hi massif76198910,
    I don't see that you had a paid FormsCentral account. Were you using the free account? If so, you should still have access to the form until FormsCentral is retired on July 28 2015,
    Are you able to log in? Or do you get an error when you try to log in to your account? Please try clearing the browser cache, or logging in via a different browser.

  • How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

    OR
    How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
    Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
    Thank you!

    Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You  should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

    Many customers have posted in the FormsCentral forum after doing research on those alternatives. I'll move your post to that forum, so those customers can chime in about what they feel are the best options.

  • Adobe form central shutting down.

    Hi
    I am not very happy regarding the way adobe form central has been announced its shutting down, I have received no email regarding this issue only notification on log into my account.
    there are no support or option to contact adobe regarding this matter.
    I am a fully paid subscriber to the annual service and adobe are closing Form Central in June - My subscription is paid for a full year until dec 2015.  I expect at the very least adobe to address annual subscribers and the fact they will no longer be providing a service mid way through their paid year.  Combined with the fact i have many active forms.
    The service from adobe when it comes to this sort of issue and support has been unacceptable.

    Hi!
    Many competitors of FormsCentral are checking these forums to help support the displaced users. I'm among them, with JotForm. =)
    Our founder wrote a review of how the closure was handled, if it's of interest:

    The best news is they gave everyone six months to make alternate plans. The blog announcement includes some alternatives, which we were happy to be included on.
    FormsCentral is retiring | Adobe Acrobat Blog
    JotForm just announced today that we have a one-step Import Wizard, which will migrates all your Adobe forms and response data, into our system. It just takes a minute. We expect it's by far the easiest migration tool available, should you choose to use our service long term.

    Best of luck finding an alternate service, and we welcome your feedback.

  • Does Creative Cloud have an Adobe Forms Central alternative included in it's suite?

    I am an avid user of Adobe Forms Central, and also the Adobe Creative Cloud software... But haven't fully explored the Creative Cloud suite beyond what I use daily (dreamweaver, fireworks, etc.)  I was wondering if there was an alternative within the software I already have that would replace forms central.

    No.

  • I need to know if my membership(s) with Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Forms Central and Acrobat XI products are still active?  If so; when does my membership(s) due to expire?

    9 May 2014
    Dear Tech or Customer Support:
    I would like to know if my subscriptions memberships with Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Forms Central and Acrobat XI products are still active?  If so; when does my subscriptions memberships due to expire?
    Please reply back by email with full details as to my requests at your earliest availability to:  [email protected]
    Sincerely,

    Hello,
    I just solved this problem on my computer.
    Windows 7 comes with only one "Voice" installed. "Microsoft Anna - English (United States)" I'm not sure what you get if your in another country.
    You can test your "Voice/Voices" by running Microsoft Narrator. Click [Start] button and type "Narrator" in the [search programs and files] box. Press [Enter]. Your computer should begin talking. Click [Voice Settings] button to see a list of installed voices. Take note of the voices listed. "Mine has just the one."
    Adobe Reader must have a voice selected that you have installed. To verify your settings Run Adobe Reader. From the top menu click [Edit] then click [Preferences] at the bottom of the list. In the Preferences window click [Reading] from the left hand list. Find "Read Out Loud Options" Un-check [Use default voice] Choose a voice from the drop down menu that you have verified is installed on your computer. Click [OK]
    My Adobe Reader had 4 voices listed to choose from. I found this curious because I only have one voice.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is Adobe Forms Central HIPPA complaint?

    is Adobe Forms Central HIPPA complaint?  If not, what is stopping it from being HIPPA compliant?

    Can fields be updated? Such as boxes checked, comments made on a single form that has been set up and posted to a webpage.   Or is the Adobe Forms more for polling, registrations, etc. where various people are putting their own information into a "blank" form?     I've set up a test form in FormsCentral, but can't even get two fields to view side by side, each field seems to go all the way across the page.  Is it more customizable to set up the form with Acrobat 11?  
    What I want to do is to set up a form with entry fields - date/time of event, a/v needs, advertising check list, etc. - then have the people in charge of the various areas be able to go to the form and enter information, comments, questions so that the coordinator can see the "big picture" of what's needed, what's done, etc.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated : )

  • 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

  • HI Iam trying to get into my account in Adobe Form Central and when i click on sign in..not working

    HI Iam trying to get into my account in Adobe Form Central and when i click on sign in...the screen shows " this page cannot be displayed" is there a problem with the site?

    I just found that Amazon web services does have a network issue with one of their instances that is affecting some regions around the east coast, this could be affecting your ability to sign into FormsCentral.  They will likely have that back up soon and assuming that could be the issue it should be fixed shortly.
    Thanks,
