Adobe Reader unable to fill in Secured Fillable Adobe Forms on ipad

I am unable to fill in my Adobe Fillable Secure Form using Adobe Reader. Help!

Currently, the Adobe Reader mobile products (Reader for iOS, Android) do not allow users to make changes (including filling in form fields) to secure/protected PDF documents (whose contents are encrypted). Because saving encrypted data has not been supported yet.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer to fill in the secured fillable forms, instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

Does a person need Adobe Reader in order to use a fillable PDF form?

I have created a fillable form using Acrobat XI and I find that some persons are unable to use it while others are. Does a person need Adobe Reader to use the fillable form? If so, how easy is it to download?
Thank you

Hi kenmilw,
Reader is an excellent, and free, option for your recipients who need to fill out your form. It's easily downloaded from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html. You can also use the Fill & Sign service on Acrobat.com to fill any PDF form.
What troubles are your recipients encountering? And those who do have trouble--how are they filling out the form?
Best,
Sara

How do I fill in a "fillable" pdf form using my Windows 8.1 laptop?

Obviously I'm not Adobe savvy. I downloaded a fillable application and saved it into the Adobe Reader file on my computer (that was the only option to save a .pdf). What do I have to do in order to enter my data, e-sign it, and e-mail it back? I opened the file, but am unable to click into any part of the form. Some of it has boxes and drop-down boxes, but I cannot access them. This is for my employer and I am feeling very foolish and inadequate right now. Please help! Thank you.

Start Adobe Reader first.
Then use Open from the File menu to open this file.
If there isn't a file menu let us know.
If there was a file menu, but you can't type it probably isn't fillable.

Editing secured fillable pdf forms

How do I edit a pdf form that is password protected?

These are forms that contain confidential personal health information and the organization's policy is to not allow users to edit and save this information on their computers. However, I have heard that some staff are able to unlock the form and edit and save, send by email to others.
I assume it's also the organization's policy that employees should not do this, and if they do they can/will be dismissed. If it's not, it should be.
For content that needs to be protected this way, regardless of what form it's in, you need to provide access control so that unauthorized access is not allowed/possible. This can be done for PDF content using digital rights management (DRM) technology, like that provided by Adobe's LiveCycle Rights Management product, but this is enterprise-level software with a price tag and other associated costs to match. Such software makes documents unreadable unless opened by an authorized user, and the security cannot be removed by Acrobat or anything else. If a document is in possession by an unauthorized recipient, they won't be able to open it. This is a simplification, but the point is it can be used in a HIPAA and similar types of regulatory compliant systems.

I can not fill out security questions-the form is shown up not completly

I can´t answer the security questions, because only the half site comes up. First line I see is "security question" last line is "alternate e-mail". On top I miss e-mail and Password, at the end I miss the age compared with support info.
OSX 10.6.8/ iTunes 10.7. with Mini, Macbook Pro, iMac.
Thank you for any idea how to overcome this.

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account. If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Why is a fillable, savable form on iPad taking 4ever to move from field to field when data entered?

How can I get my fillable, savable, calculated fields PDF form to move from field to field more quickly when entering data on an iPad/iPhone/handheld using the Adobe Reader app? I have tried everything I can find to reduce the file size, but to no avail. It is taking about 8-10 seconds to move from field to field after entering data. There is no problem filling in the form on a Mac laptop/desktop in regards to the lagtime. I haven't tried the form on any Windows OS product.
I suspect it has to do with the javascript, but I've tested other fill-in savable forms on my iPad (such as employer tax forms from IRS and State) and they work fine and move quickly. However, there are quite a lot of fields on this particular form I've created (270 to be exact - it is an order form for clothing with many size choices for each item), so perhaps it has to do with that as well. I came to this conclusion after creating one page of the form and it only took 3-4 seconds to move from field to field when entering data, but when I created the second page it went up to the 8-10 seconds.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.7.27 for/on iMac 10.7.5 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5.

I have this issue as well. I created an expense tracking form using the Acrobat X basic calculation tool (not javascripts) and it takes 10 - 15 seconds to move to the next field on an iPad or Android device. On my PC it works great. HELP!
I also tried using a trial version of Acrobat XI with the same result.

Adobe Forms help needed

I've created a form in Adobe Acrobat 7.0. However, when the
Adobe reader users fill in the form they are unable to save the
data filled form. Can I change my settings in the form so that the
Adobe Reader users can fill out and save the form or do I need to
purchase/use the LifeCycle application?

Also, can the forms be filled with handwritten data using the iPad stylus?

I am unable to fill in info on a fillable PDF

I am unable to fill in info on a fillable PDF form. Do i need to down load anything???

If you're viewing that file with the Preview application that comes with OS X, I've found that it's not perfect at being able to read PDF files. You might try the free Adobe Reader. Once you install that it will take over viewing of PDF files in Safari. If you don't want that, open Adobe Reader's preferences and change that option in the "Internet" category.

Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

Saving a filled-in secure form in Reader?

Apologies if this has been covered somewhere in the forums. I've just not been able to find anything that answers this...
I've created a form for a client in Acrobat 9 Pro. Security is set to allow printing and "Filling in form fields and signing existing signature fields." My problems begin when opening the form in Reader X.
The instructions in Reader says "Click 'Sign' to fill out and sign this form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'"
I click "Sign" and fill-in the form fields. However, "Done Signing" never turns live in the sidebar. It remains grayed-out. The only option available is to "Send Signed Document" using Adobe's EchoSign system. However, doing so simply sends a blank form, with none of the fields filled-in.
Save As... doesn't appear to be an option either, as it will only save a blank copy of the form.
How does a user fill-in and save a secured form in Reader X? Will I have to remove all security from the form altogether? Or is a user doomed to have to use EchoSign...which apparently only saves a blank version?
Side observation: That sidebar is very confusing to the user. What's "Add Text" for? It could easily be assumed that the user needs to click that in order to fill-in the fields. And, there's no need for anyone to sign or "Place Signature" in this form. How can a user avoid this altogether?

If it needs to be saved with Reader, the document has to be Reader-enabled. To do this with Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
The EchoSign related stuff in Reader should be ignored for a form like this.
Note that Reader 11, which will be released shortly, is able to save a non-enabled form, but not if the form uses digital signatures. If it does, it will need to be Reader-enabled.

Does the version of Reader matter when users fill out PDF fillable forms?

Created an application form for a client that he put on line. Some (50%) of the completed forms coming back to him via email are blank. The form was created in Acrobat Pro 8 (mac). Could there be a problem with users downloading/filling out the forms in a newer (or older) version of Reader that's not compatible with my form? They were instructed on the form to use Adobe Reader, so hope it's not an issue of them using a non-Adobe PDF reader (though I can't be sure). Thanks in advance for any help.

Adobe Reader should not have a problem working with the form. For Reader versions prior to 11 the document will need to be Reader-enabled in order for it to be saved. Reader 11 is able to save non-enabled forms created with Acrobat.
If the user used the Preview application on a Mac, the text fields will appear to be blank, but when one of the fields has the focus the entry will show up. Preview corrupts PDF form in a number of ways and should be avoided. With Acrobat you can export the form data to a data file (FDF/XFDF), open a blank form, and import the form data into the form. You can tell if this is the problem by looking at the PDF Producer: File > Properties > Description > PDF Producer
It will be different than what was originally there and be something like: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Quartz PDFContent

I'm not sure if im in the right room to ask but, i got a new job and my w-4 is online threw the adobe acrobat reader ans is filled out but it wont connect to the browser to get it submitted. what is wrong?

I doubt that the W-4 has a submit button. If you are using Reader XI (actually the topic of the Reader forum, not this one), you should be able to save it and then print and deliver. If it is set to be submitted by the browser, then it may be your Reader and the browser are not talking properly. If there is a generic URL that you can provide that has the W-4, we might be able to give you more info. A lot depends on what your particular form looks like. Hand carrying it should always be an option.
