I have a form that i need to convert to a pdf with fields

i am working on a form that will be used for registration. I created it in Publisher then saved it as a jpeg. In order to be more efficient with collecting information, i need to save this form as a pdf with fields so it can be filled out online and perhaps saved and emailed back to me. Please help!!

I am not sure Publisher was the best approach as there is no conversion from Publisher directly to the PDF format as there is with Word.
You will Acrobat Standard or Professional to create PDF forms. There is a 30 day free trial of Acrobat Professional and after that period you need to either buy a copy of Professional or subscribe tot he cloud product. You could also uninstall the Professional version and buy or subscribe to the Standard version.
Entire books have been written about creating forms with Acrobat.
Once you acquire Acrobat, I would print the Publisher document to the Adobe PDF printer and then use Acrobat to add the form fields.
You are also going to need to review how various computer systems work with PDF forms, which browsers work well with PDF forms, how the older versions or Acrobat/Reader work with forms, and email, and if any mobile device will be used how the different apps work or do not work with PDF forms.

How to save PDF with fields so someone can fill out form and send it to printer

Using Adobe Acrobat X for Mac, I built a pdf template with fields for
sending an assortment of Business Card files to the printer to print.
How do I save the file so my brother/client can start typing in different
names, job titles, and contact info and send them to a printer.
Thanks,
jsorlean

Create your form.
go to advanced menu
choose the item about Reader Rights
when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.

Multiple Signatures in one PDF with Field Collection

I have found multiple post throughout adobe forums, and Acrobat Users forums but have yet to find an answer. Often links to the "answer" no longer exist so I'm requesting help here on another thread. I have a form I designed in Form designer, that is being used in Acrobat Pro 8. The first signature is tied/linked to pages 1-5, and lock that data once signed. Then a second signature is needed on page 6 to validate any additional documentation on that page. Signature field on page 6 is also tied to field collection of all fields on page 6. However once any changes are made to page 6, or once page 6 is signed then the signature on page 5 changes (has yellow triangle with exclamation mark.) While the Yellow Triange isn't saying the signature is invalid, it is saying that the document has been changed. However the part of the document associated with the signature on page 5 has not changed. Is there some way to avoid the error on the first signature. This is a serious problem, because I have another 20 pages and every other page or so need another signature. Please, any suggestions are appreciated.

i guess you could do something similar by having one form as a kind of title page/menu and having links to each of the other then just group them into a portfolio
if what you are trying to do is have an index type arangement
otherwise it's subforms as you suggested -

Exporting to PDF with Fillable and Savable Fields

Hi,
I was wondering if it is at all possible to export from Crystal Reports to a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user?
I have read up on Visual CUT and it seems like I can do it from there. The problem with Visual CUT is that it offers way more than what I need. I only need the ability to create a pdf with fields that can be filled in and saved by the user.

Hi,
In my experienced it cant, you can export it to pdf but you dont have the ability to make it fillable, unless doing it manually, from the exported pdf, install an Adobe Professional software to have capability to save data's.

Clint

Saving PDF with Adobe AIR

Hi all,
Currently, I am trying to implement saving PDF function with AIR, similar to above AIR application.
I have created a normal PDF, added formbridge.js inside it. Then display it via a HTML template in my AIR application.
Any idea how I can save the pdf with its content using AIR?
Do I need to ReaderExtended the PDF?
Thanks and regards,
Anh

Thanks a bunch anirudhs for your reply. I believe I did a bad
bad job explaining myself on the initial post.
Basically what I'm having issues with is printing or saving
the state of a scripted PDF form. I'm working on an AIR application
that fills PDF forms from the AIR app. Here is the work flow I
envision for the app:
- Forms are filled in the AIR App
- The fields are stored in a SQLite DB
- Fields are pulled from the DB into a template scripted PDF
File
- Template PDF file should be able to be saved & printed
off with the respective forms field
I have everything working besides the saving & printing
aspect of the application. I can't seem to make it work. Tried
working with the saveAs() but there seems to be some security
issues with calling the saveAs() from the script.
I'm wondering if anyone could give me a hand with this issue.
Thanks.

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

May be that the text fields are read-only.

How can I incorporate an overlay with fields into a PDF file?

Once a week, I produce a timesheet. It's a PDF document generated by a third-party time-recording app, and it has room for hand-filling in signatures/dates/names, etc - 7 fields all told.
What I want to do is build a separate document containing an equivalent block of 7 PDF-fillable fields such that:
I can overlay the PDF-fillable fields on the space for hand-filling fields on the timesheet;
I can send the combined PDF file to another person in order to collect their name and (ink) signature.
I can then fill in my own (ink) signature, etc.
I can do the same thing week in, week out with no fiddling of fields, etc.
I got tantalizingly close (I have Windows Acrobat X Pro). I built the PDF-fillable form as a separate PDF, and merged it into a sample timesheet as a Background (and I also tried using a Watermark). However:
some of the seven PDF-fillable fields simply vanish;
one of the remaining fields seems to have picked up a name and formatting from another deleted field (is there some kind of uncleared cache in play?);
all the remaining fields were marked as Read-Only.
Update:
FWIW, I got it to work by reversing the files - i.e. by using the timesheet itself as the background.
When I add the Background (regardless of which is the main document), I get a series of warnings indicating that fields in the Background bearing the same name as those in the main document will get lost, but from what I can tell, fields in the same location as those on the main document also get lost.
When I use the template as the main document, things fall into place and the scheme works.
However, the situation seems like a fairly routine one that should be easier to solve. Ideally, I'd like to build a layer on top of the timesheet form and save that layer as an overlay.
TIA
Josh

Did you ever figure out how to overlay something on a PDF form? I've created buttons to allow a user to change out the background, but I want to have an image and possibly other elements on that.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

Pdf form with fields ppl can type into

I have a pdf form with fields that are not able to be typed in. How can I edit them so that ppl can type into the field?

Hi courtneyp58664902,
I would recommend you to follow the steps detailed on the page associated with this link (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-con vert-forms-into-fillable-pdf-c… ).
I would recommend you to Save the pdf with reader rights enabled [ File -> 'Save as other' -> 'Reader extender PDF' -> 'Enable More tools ( includes form fill-in and save)' ].
Please let me know if you face any challenges or need any further assistance.

I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields. Is that possible?

I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields. Is that possible?

Randy,
We have an application that I would like to have in Formscentral. That application is also in a larger PDF file that once filled in populates all the other forms below it (lease, credit check form, ect). If the Application on Formscentral keep the same field names as the pdf can I pull the data from formscentral and sill populate the old application pdf so that all the forms below it will be also populated.

Save Forms Fields PDF with information un-editable

We created a simple 5 form field PDF invoice for a client to edit and send out to customers. They want to be able to edit the fields, but then save the resulting PDF with the input information to be un-editable but the end customer they are sending the invoice to. Is this possible?

Will the client be using Acrobat or just Reader? If just Reader, you can lock the fields after they are filled-in by making them read-only, which will require a script. You should also set the default value of each field to the current value of the field, which prevents clearing the form if the user resets the form. There's an older topic from several months ago that discusses this in more detail. If you can't find it, post again and I'll try.
If they will be using Acrobat, a better approach is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field apperances to regular page contents, removing the form fields in the process. You can flatten fields with Acrobat using JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or Preflight. Post again if you need help with this.

Digital Signature invalid when sign a PDF with instances

Hi,
I created a XDP document with LiveCycle Designer ES2.
This document contains:
- Some required fields (text fields, data fields ecc...)
- A Subform that user can add more instance pressing a button, contains some fields
- A Digital Signature (With a simple fields collection contains only the signature field)
I render the XDP for get a PDF (using ReaderExtensions component) by LiveCycle Workbench ES3.
Then I open the PDF with Adobe Reader X.
I compile the form and don't press on button increase the instances of Subform.
Sign the document and the signature is valid.
Now, instead, if I make the same but increase the instance of Subform, then sign, the signature is invalid...
Can the problem is the different versions of Designer and Workbench?
In past I got some problems, and sometime I resolved creating a new document and copying all the object of old form in new one... It's an ugly solution but it worked.
But in this case don't resolve nothing.
Any help?
Thank You!
