Can I use PDF forms on an iPAD?

I have completed a multi page interactive PDF file. It is a survey and works fine off a laptop or desktop.
My client has expressed an interest in having this work on an iPAD. The idea is use the iPAD for its convenience and then send the completed form via email back to the home office.
Presently my file does not reveal the fields so I am thinking I need to do something more. I've got an iPAD but with less than a week experience. I am speculating that it is the nature of the platform and probably the only way to make this work is to have the form on a server and use safari to be the depository.
The business problem is a chronic web connection to work this way is not an assumption.
Thanks for any thoughts

You and your clients can try an iPad app under the title PDF Expert. Above all available features, I usually use this application to fill out PDF forms. PDF Expert even works with those forms that have built-in calculations. What is mostly important for me as a lawyer - sign up feature, that allows me affirm contracts, agreements, etc with the own signature right on the iPad and email back the documents to the office or clients.
More information and features you can find in the app's description: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-expert-fill-forms-annotate/id393316844?mt=8

Can't open pdf form on iPad

I can open the pdf form on my laptop just fine, but when I try to open it on my iPad running iOS 6.1.2 and Adobe Reader 10.5.0, I get this error "If this mesage is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the doc, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document." I did notice that when I open the pdf on my laptop, it pops up a note explaining what to enter for a particular field. Can the Reader iOS version not handle these pop-up notes on forms? Is this being worked on? Thanks.

I only know what's been said on the forums. I suspect that there will be support for static XFA forms in the future, though it seems like a lot of work for little return. I would be surprised if dynamic XFA forms are ever supported as it would be much more work, but the return may be greater. I hope that more support for JavaScript with Acroforms comes first.

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

Hi mariab,
What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
Best,
Sara

Has anyone found an app for creating fillable pdf forms on an ipad?

I have found many apps that allow me to fill in already created fillable pdf forms on an ipad, but I'm wondering if there are any apps that allow the creation of PDF forms on an ipad? (similar to adobe professional...?). Thanks for your time!

PDFpen pro can be used on the Mac to generate fillable forms. It is much less expensive than Acrobat.
For IOS, I would check out
PDF Expert by Readdle
DocuSign Ink
I know the allow you to sign your name on PDF forms.
I would think they can extend that to fillable forms.

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work? My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it. Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat. There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Can i use fitbit one with an iPad

Can I use FitBit One with my Ipad?

According to the website, It appears you can sync wirelessly to mobile devices like the iPad.
I would read the user guide for it to learn how to do it.

Your One can sync directly to supported iOS devices via Bluetooth 4.0. To see if your
iOS device is compatible with your Fitbit One, go to http://www.fitbit.com/devices.
Also iOS is a proper Operating System. Its just different to that of a computer.

Can i use pdf in i pad 2

can i use pdf in i pad 2

Each PDF reader will have their own way of importing files to the iPad.
Do I purchase a PDF reader on the App Store? Can you recommend a good one?
You can also email them to yourself, or store them in a cloud
For security reasons we cannot use the cloud. I must transfer with a wire.

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
Is there any way?
devices:
iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
iPhone 5S
Thanks!

well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

You can't use Microsoft Word on the iPad because of the different operating system but you can have a look at the following apps.

Can I use a stylus on an iPad.?.

Can I use a stylus with an iPad.

Yes, I use one all of the time. But the stylus for the iOS devices is not the trim little fine point that other devices use. Some find it a bit clunky unless you buy one of the more expensive ones.

HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.
