Auto-email Acrobat x standard form

A page on my web site will be a fillable Acrobat X Standard .pdf. How can I have a "button" for the user to press to email the completed form to me? I can't afford the $499 Pro version, which I know will do this...have to use X Standard. Thanks. FrankB

You cannot have the user return the form as a PDF (if they have only the free Reader). This requires a feature only found in Acrobat Pro and some much more expensive software.
They can return the form data, which is just as good, since you can import it to the original form.

Adope Acrobat 9 Standard - Form text field expand

I have created a form with fili-in text fields. Some of the fields as they are being completed may require the text field to expand. In Acrobat 9 standard is it possible to have the text field in a form expand? Any help wpuld be greatly appreciated. I have been searching for the answer for some time and I come accross the suggestion of a " dynamic Form " .
Do I need to aquire a new version or a different program. These are simple registration forms I create and sometimes a person completing the form needs additonal space.

Bernd has given the answer, but just to add a bit you can still type in a text field without expanding and the info will just scroll. In that sense, all of the info is still there. It all depends on your intent. If it is to get the info into a database, then you would simply use the distribute option (if available in Std) and that will provide a summary of form data submitted on receipt. That info can be sent to a spreadsheet or database from the summary file. Again, this distribute option may not be available in Std. For the more dynamic fields that change size, you have to move to Pro and use Designer for the forms. More info on Designer can be asked in the LiveCycle forum.

I want to confirm a best practices issue - Acrobat XI Standard Forms used on an Apple OS - is this an issue?

I am creating forms in Acrobat XI Standard on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine. I am reports that the forms do not work and I am seeing screen prints where the fonts in the form fields are larger and displaced than those in the original form I created. This is happening on an Apple product. So is this an issue? I read a post from 2007 saying that it was. But is it still today and if so, is there a way to deliver a form that works in Windows and in Apple while using Acrobat XI?
Thanks

The issue is not just Mac Preview. You must, as a form creator, be aware that anyone getting a computer or tablet today will have a PDF reader, or several, and not Adobe Reader. Not unless they choose to get it, and you would need to give them a compelling reason to both install and work out how to use it. Readers people will have include
* Mac OS Preview (command and used in Safari browser)
* Windows Reader (with Windows 8)
* Chrome, Firefox (browsers with built in PDF viewers)
* iOS (iPad, iPhone) built in PDF (also Adobe Reader, while available, is very limited)
* Android (tablet, phone) built in PDF (also Adobe Reader, while available, is very limited)
* ChromeBook - built in PDF, no Adobe Reader app.
The hardest part is not geting people to install Adobe Reader, but to understand that, even if they have done so, that their browser probably doesn't use it.
Some PDF viewers ignore forms, some have limited forms support. The worst common one is Preview, as it appears to have form functionality, but it makes broken forms. Apple have no interest in fixing.

Auto update Acrobat Pro/Standard

Hi all,
We have numerous users throughout various depts, all are using different versions of AcroPro/standard 8 and 9.0.
Question is whether there's any ways to get the patch (latest_version.msp) files to update those versions via Active Directory
deployment process, of course, without user's involvement.
To start, we used Advanced Installer program to repackage an update process from AcroPro8.1.0 to 8.1.3; however the latest version
is 8.2.2, which eventually we'd like to get up to.
So, for instance, from AcroPro8.1.3 we've tried: msiexec /a AcroPro8.1.3.msi /p AcrobatUpd814_all_incr.msp
but error message pops up saying "...program to update may be missing..." meaning it's not working.
Much appreciated for any advice.
Bob

Hi again,
I found a simple but helpful batch process that essentially does all the updates in one shot - kind of what I initially was looking
for.
Here it is, of course do not include the broken lines:
=============================================================================
msiexec.exe /p "\\<shared location>\folder\AcrobatUpd811_all_incr.msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
msiexec.exe /p "\\<shared location>\folder\AcrobatUpd812_all_incr.msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
msiexec.exe /p "\\<shared location>\folder\AcrobatUpd813_all_incr.msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
msiexec.exe /p "\\<shared location>\folder\AcrobatUpd814_all_ce_incr.msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
msiexec.exe /p "\\<shared location>\folder\AcrobatUpd815_all_incr.msp" REINSTALLMODE=omus REINSTALL=ALL /qn
...keep repeating the msiexec command line till you hit the last version (AcrobatUpd82.2_all_incr.msp)...
=============================================================================
Lots of repetion, but works for me. I tried to arrange them in one line separeted by semicolons but somehow didn't work.
Note: list your update versions in incremental order, otherwise process will error out.
Switches: /qn = quiet mode
First download all the .msp patches from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
save to a location, preferably a network location. Now all that's needed is to convert this batch file into an .msi to be deployed.

I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form. I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online. However, I think the form is an HTML web form. All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on. Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade? Help

You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

Auto number form field for Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard?

I'm creating an online form using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and need to know how create an automatic sequential system for each form.
For example, if a customer prints form 1 from the website, I need the next form to be tracked as form 2, and the next will automatically become 3, etc.
Is there a way to do this with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, or do I need Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
Thanks!

Neither will help with what you want. The web server would have to be responsible for generating a new number each time the file is served, and somehow modifying the document to include the number. The document could be set up to request a number from the server and returning it in a response, but it would still be something that's managed by the server. Both approaches require server-side programming.

Can you create editable forms in Acrobat X Standard?

Hi everyone,
Hopefully an easy question although I cannot find a definitive answer on the product page.
I need to be able to create editable forms that others can fill in and print or save using Reader 8, 9 or X. Can these forms be created using Adobe Acrobat X Standard? The forms have been created in Word 2007 but we want to disribute them as PDF's and allow certain fields to be filled in on the PDF. The form will be downloaded from a website, filled in and emailed back.
Any clarification on this is greatly received.
Thanks...

I know you can create forms with Standard but I don't think you can enable them so that Reader users can save them without the Pro version.

Even if you could do this, you would want to carefully consider whether you want a form out there for everyone to fill out and send in. There is a restriction to the amount of times you can receive data from an enabled form. After 500 times, you would be violating the license agreement.

Acrobat 8 Standard - Printing Tax Forms in Black - No Forms Toolbar

I have filled out some tax forms in Acrobat 8 Standard, however, the font color for the filled out text is blue, and thus prints as a hard-to-read grey when printing on the laser printer. I've searched and the standard advice seems to be to use the forms toolbar to change the font color, but when I go to View -> Toolbars, there is no option for the Forms toolbar.
Is there any way I can get this damned text to print as black? Seems kinda silly to have a form fill-out function that you can't print the result of!

I was very pleased to find this info too. Thanks.
But something a little more important than how to do it is why is it so hard to find? I'm sure there are many more people out there who can't find this and I think it's because it's hard to find. The intuitive functionality, offered by the Properties Bar in Acrobat, called the Control bar in Illustrator, and the Options bar in Photoshop. Acrobat also appears to be the only one in that list that doesn't contain a secondary tool pallet for each function offered by the Properties bar, found in the Window menu.
I've been through everything Tina looked at and most of them seemed like they should contain the font color, although I couldn't find the Document Colors Option. And if it turned out that you can't edit the color, why would it pick red?
So my two questions are, why is this solution so hard to find?
How do you change the default font color so you don't need the Properties bar?
Ok, I feel better now :)

Why can't I email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard?

Whenever I try to email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard, nothing happens. Outlook 2007 is my default
email program. I have checked the preferences to be sure that Outlook is checked as default, and it is,
but when I click on the email icon or select email from the dropdown menu, nothing happens. This is
so frustrating. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

Be sure that MAPI is properly active in your Outlook. I am not an Outlook user, but that is what is needed.

Email of Purchase Order coming with Standard Form

Hi,
I have configured NACE.
I am able to generate the PO through email.
But, the problem is, system always picking of standard form instead of "customized form", (though I have configured customized form for emailing).
Whereas, in case of printing, there is no problem and customized form is printing.
I do not understand why the system is picking up the standard form instead of customized form in case of emailing.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi

In NACE, check the output type "5- External send" is assigned your customized form or not

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

Form Events in Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to programatically have my form fields highlighted when opened by a user in Reader. I've seen some other posts recommending setting the app.runtimehighlight event to true but I can't find the form events. Any help would be appreciated.

Acrobat 9 Standard does not have direct access to the document level scripts. So with a one page form you could add the code to the open page action. You will need to open the 'Page' or 'Thumbnail' navigation page, select the page, right mouse click and select the 'Page Properties" and add the script using the 'Actions' tab.
