Adobe Pro 8 Forms return as blanks

Hello;
I have created an adobe form using Acrobat 8.
I then posted in on my web page, and am testing it.
When I fill out the information, and click submit, it opens
email, sends the email.
When I rec'd the form, it was blank. Nothing I put in there
stayed. It was the original document with nothing on it!
I also want to have a message "pop up" or something that
tells the person the form was submitted.
Please Help!
Allene

Adobe Pro X forms question

I created a form in Adobe Pro X and then edited form content. When I go to print the document little boxes show up in the fields I edited. They are not drop down boxes and don't show on the screen, just in the printed form. help!

I think the problem is a printer driver and not the program. When I printed the document on another printer they didn’t show up. Thanks for trying to help!

Acrobat 9 Pro: Order Form, need SUM=blank? and not $0.00 (HELP!!!)

I know this might be an easy question for people with javascript knowledge.... but I can't get this working... please help!
I need Order Form total field (sum) to default to blank (instead of $0.00).
*example: Under >calculate I am using "simplified field notation" and (Qty1)*7.95 -- sum appears in "total 1"
The unit price is $7.95 - The value of Qty1 = total 1 (calculations are working fine)
Currently all total boxes read as $0.00 --- I need SUM to be blank until a customer selects a quantity
How can I make the SUM default to blank? and NOT $0.00 - Is it a validation script??? If so, please help with code!!!
Help is appreciated - Thanks!
PS - SUM fields can't be set as non-printing, because Shipping Dept./Accounting Dept. needs ability to print and view totals (if amount is selected - otherwise it could be blank).
*** SUM fields need to be blank for customers who print form and manually enter data & totals...
I am using a Mac, and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I appreciate the reply... (it's been many hours without one)
I tried the validation script, and as you indicated, the only way the total field (with the validation script) appears blank is AFTER the Reset button is clicked. (However I have not checked this in a reader)
I can't see how I can make it work in that manner. Customer inputs Billing & Delivery Addresses at top, then proceeds to select products. If the reset button has to be pressed, all the data (ie. addresses) are removed.
If there was a way to apply the reset function automatically at the opening of the pdf doc. then it would achieve the result I need. I wonder if there isn't a way with a check box at the top that customer clicks which would apply the reset function.
If you (or anyone) has any further tips or help I would appreciate it. This is the last item the client has requested for change.
PS. In case anyone can think of a print script to use... The sum value, when =0 (no qty) needs to print blank sum fields (not $0.00) BUT if there is a sum value, the amount must print (for Ship/Acct Depts)
*** I just thought of something... The only time where the sum value needs to be blank is when customer prints and inputs data by hand.... so, would there be a way to add a print button that can also clear the sum values at the same time with the "reset" function and the validation script???

Adobe pro x form problems

Hi
I have created a timesheet that calculates and distributed it to around 28 people I have come accross a few errors, can you help please.
Error one is from one of the people i distributed too.
1. this document enabled extended features ini adobe reader. the document has been changed since it was created and use of extened feature is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document.
error two is also from someone the form was distributed too.
2. Security wont allow me to sign on here and it must be printed.
this is a seperate error again????
For the most part the form is working fine for everyone else???
Help

after researching this a bit i think it is the same problem on both forms and it all seems to be to do with the security settings I have checked the ones that do work have allowed. when they click into the attachment in there email the error messge comes up and does not allow you to do anything but view the form.

I have adobe pro, do I still need adobe forms? or am I paying twice for something?

I have a subscription to adobe pro, and forms, am I paying twice for something?

You have Adobe Acrobat Professional (no program called Adobe Pro). What forms are you paying for? There is a web service called Forms Central, this is a platform for creating, hosting and collecting information from forms. If you have a different server for hosting and collecting the information from your forms, you do not need Forms Central. However, some people find it an easy way to create forms.

Submitting POST forms on certain websites returns a blank page

Some websites with POST forms return a blank page when I submit the form. The data apparently gets submitted, so depending on the website I can refresh the page and it works fine. But some websites, this completely breaks the functionality.
Most recently this happened to me clicking the "Ship to this address" button on Etsy (which is a site-breaking situation and refreshing took me back to the same page). Then I came here to register an account and, well, funny story, it actually happened when I clicked the Register button after filling out a username, password, and email address (but refreshing worked).
Possibly related: around the same time this started happening, I noticed that 307 redirects would give me a blank page saying "Document has moved [link]here[/link]," and I'd have to click "here" to move on, as opposed to the redirect automatically happening.
I've tried disabling add-ons and it hasn't helped.

Clicking the Post Question button just now also sent me to a blank page, and refreshing just took me back to the Post Question form. Fortunately by confirming my account through my email, my question got posted. Otherwise I would have had to post on this forum in Chrome. The horror.
(EDIT: But the Post Reply button worked perfectly)
(EDIT 2: Update Answer did not)

really hoping someone can help me.

Hold down the option key when rebooting, does the Mac icon appear there?
If not, you'll have to wait for some of the terminal wizards to come and try to rescue your issue.

Form issues in Adobe Pro for Macs

Can someone tell me how to solve an issue regarding Adobe Pro 9 for Macs? I have developed forms in Adobe Pro 9 but they can not be viewed in Adobe but can be viewed in Preview. How can this issue be corrected?

This is interesting, because I've had the same thing happen to forms I've created. In a most recent example, the form was filled out by an external person (someone outside our agency) and returned. When I opened the file, on my Mac, i could see the data entered into the fields. When a co-worker opened the file, on a PC, she didn't see anything and mistakenly thought the form was blank. However you could click into the field and then see that data had indeed been entered into each field.
I opened the file to see if there was something wrong with the appearance properties -- making sure that text color was not blank, and also making sure that I hadn't selected an obscure font. The text color was black and the font was Helvetica. On a whim I changed the font to Times and all of a sudden the data in each field was viewable. However, i changed it back to Helvetica and it remained viewable. So, the act of changing the font made the data fields display; it didn't matter what font I chose. I just had to change it.
When I looked up file properties, i did notice that the PDF Producer is Mac OS X 10.6.7 Quartz PDFContext, and so does that mean it was opened and fields filled in using Preview?

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?

How do I remove a blank line in a pdf with adobe pro XI?
Can I combine text blocks into one paragraph that are now given line by line?
Is there a way to add a paragraph to an existing pdf and have the remaining text flow to the next pages?

You can't, no, and no. Acrobat is not a word processor, and trying to use it as if it is will lead to enormous frustration and disappointment. Maybe you need to convert this document to Word if you want to do this sort of editing, but don't expect fancy layout to be preserved.

I have windows 7, adobe pro X and adobe reader X, and thunderbird 9.01 email client.

It will send the email correctly in abobe pro x, it opens all the correct windows etc and sends, and I receive the filled out PDF form.
When I open the form in adobe reader X it opens the correct window as before, but never sends the email.
Can any one here be of some help.
Thanks

Open the form in Adobe Acrobat PRO.
Goto Advanced menu -> Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader and save file..

Form created in ES2 can't be viewed in adobe pro version 8

Hello,
I created a form in ES2 (version 9). I saved it to be compatible with the older version. As the form is sent to users and is filled out. As I receive the form back and open it in adobe pro 8, the drop-down list values that users selected disappear. The drop-down lists are populated by a javascript function with 2 dimentional array. Thus, as user selects a value for dropdown1, the dropdown2 list is populated based on the value on dropdown1.
Somehow, the values selected for these dropdowns are not shown when I view the form with adobe pro 8.
Could someone tell me why that happens and what to do to fix it?
Thank you very much for your help.

Depending on your Designer version (no longer able to set it in UI in Designer 10, for example), strictscoping is set in the form properties of the form (File->Form Properties->defaults).
However, since this is just happening in Reader 8.0.0, it sounds like you hit a bug in that version.
FYI: Support for Reader 7.x, and Reader 8.x have been end of lifed by Adobe.
Best bet is to use Reasder 9 and above if they work, and it sounds as if they do.

How do I place a free-form text box in Adobe Pro XI?

I am working in Adobe Pro XI, and am creating a form. The software auto-formats the location of text boxes and fields. Is there a way to manually place the location of this field?

Update - This is using FormCentral which opened from Adobe XI Pro.
