Can i fill in and save downloaded fillable pdf files???

Does anyone know if I can fill in and save pdf forms that were downloaded from the internet without owning Adobe Acrobat 7.0???
I used to have Acrobat 5.0 on my Windows based system - however on the MAC system I have not installed the Acrobat software (did not get the MAC version yet)
Preview allows me to open it but can not enter values into the fields!!!!
Any help appreciated...............
PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you both of you for the ideas - just tried it yes I filled in part of the form in Preview then saved it as post script - then the program tries to convert it back to PDF and displays it in Preview - but the second time Preview did not let me continue to fill in the form. Since the forms need to be filled in partially first and then later either readjusted or additional info provided - this system will not work without too much hassle.
I am waiting now for Adobe to get back to me to see if they will allow me to purchase the upgrade package - although my previous version was for Windows.

Which Version of Adobe do I need to be able to "extract" a page from a existing file and save/download to another file?

Acrobat Pro or Standard.

How do I save/download a PDF file as an actual PDF that opens in Adobe Reader?

When I save/download a PDF from Google Chrome it always saves as an Internet Explorer file instead of a PDF that opens in Adobe Reader.
Why is this?
And how can I fix it?
I really need PDF files for school and work.

What means "an Internet Explorer file"; what is the file type / extension?
Also, how do you "save/download" these files?

How can i record sound and save it in a file..?

Can someone plz provide me a simple code for recording sound and saving it in a file..

Nope...all of the code to do that is complicated...and since you apparently can't figure out google, I'm afraid you're likely out of luck.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Can´t edit a form to fill in and save

When I edit a PDF-form which is activated to be able to fill in and save I have to save a copy first. After that I edit the copy and save it activated for "fill in and save" and give it a new name. (Don´t know the proper word for this in English as I use a Swedish copy) Then I´m told its not possible to activate it for "fill in and save". (Don´t know the proper word for this in English as I use a Swedish copy) If i try to open the recently saved form in Acrobat Reader it says the form is activated to "fill in and save" but has been changed and that I should ask for the original. It is not possible to write in it then either.

What kind of code do you see?
Is that an HTML file or a PDF file for the Adobe Reader?

I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
== When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

Suggestion : add option to "open AND save" downloads at once

Hello,
Many times during the day, I need to download some pdf files. But I want to save them on my computer AND at the same time open them !
Firefox lets me just download (OR open) them. Then I need to manually go to the download bar to open them. In summary, I have to make several clicks for nothing each time ! This is making me mad ;(
Thanks in advance ;)
David
ps: in order to locate where to implement this suggestion please see the second image of this webpage https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file

You can submit that suggestion to Mozilla on this page - https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback - or by using Help > Submit Feedback... from within Firefox. The Mozilla developers rarely, if ever, visit this forum.

I cant save a fillable PDF and its saying there is a bad parameter. How do i fix this?

cant save a fillable PDF and its saying

Hi annerleavitt,
That Bad Parameter error is likely telling you that the PDF you're trying to fill in is damaged/corrupted. Where did you get the PDF? And are you opening it in Reader or Acrobat (what versions?).
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

Hi,
I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
trena.c

If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
View your collections, add a new one.
Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
Hope this helps.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

I can't open Firefox and I haven't saved my extensive bookmarks, which contains all my important websites. How can I start Firefox and save my bookmarks?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I use Kaspersky Internet Security. The past week, I've had problems opening Firefox - it has been slow. Today, it just won't open at all. At first I thought it was my Internet connection, so I called my provider, Comcast Cable. But I was also able to open Internet Explorer. I was told that I may have to remove Firefox, and redownload it, but it would erase all my bookmarks. How can I access Firefox and save my bookmarks?

Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (Firefox Safe Mode, not Windows Safe Mode).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
To export bookmarks to an HTML file that IE and other browsers can read, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Hello there,
Have you checked if your PDF Plugins are updated? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

HT3529 can you set up and save groups of more than 10 contacts for imessages for future use?

can you set up and save groups of more than 10 contacts for imessages for future use?

It can be done by creating a contact for that group which includes all their email addresses all separated by a comma or semicolon. You may have to format it just right depending on the email service you're using. Also, you will have to type this out in Notes first in order to be able to get the punctuation in there, then copy & paste the entire list into the email field of the new contact.
