Can Reader users fill out forms created by Pro users?

I want to purchase Pro to send forms to customers and have them be able to electronically fill them out and send htem back, but will they have to have Pro in order to do this?

No, Reader is enough for this purpose, but if they have Reader prior to XI
then you'll need to apply the Extended Reader Rights to the file first,
which has some legal conditions (mainly that you're not allowed to receive
more than 500 submissions of the filled-in file done in Reader).

Can no longer fill out form--what happened?

I have an important form saved on my computer that had a typo in it, so I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro X, corrected the typo, then deleted the free trial. However, when I open the form with Adobe Reader I can no longer fill out the form. I was able to fill out the form just fine before I edited it with the free trial of Pro X. Is there any way I can fix this? I did not change any settings (as far as I know), I only corrected a typo in the form and now I am having the problem of no longer being able to fill it out. I appreciate any help, the form is for an important job application.

If the document was Reader-enabled so that Reader was able to save the filled-in form, and you used Acrobat to make changes to the text on a page (as opposed to text in a form field), the usage rights were removed. The modified document will have to be Reader-enabled, which is done with Acrobat.

How to determine IP Address of user filling out form

I have an online form and one of the requirements is to show (and then submit) the ip address of the user filling out the form. How can I find out this information?

String ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();

Saving filled out forms created in Acrobat Pro 8?

I'm at a loss and have searched through countless online forums and can't find a solution that will work. I have Acrobat Professional 8 and my employees use Reader X, can I create forms that have fields that the users can fill in and then save the forms to their local drive, completely filled out? I have seen some blogs that mention that this capability is in the "Save As" feature, but it doesn't appear to be in mine, so I don't know if I have a different version or am doing something wrong. Any help would be great!

You are the best! I have looked all over and didn't look there. Thanks again so much.

User fill out form before document opens.

My company is looking for a way to make our customers sign an NDA before they are able to view our documents. This would be a simple form that can be electronically signed and gives access to open the rest of the PDF. The user would be restricted from opening the PDF until they have signed the form. We would like to be able to receive notification that the NDA has been signed and keep a copy for our records.
I've seen this before, but have had a lot of trouble finding a solution online.
Thank you!

Here's one way: make a PDF file with your form fields. Make a Button and set the Mouse Up action to Submit a Form.
In the Submit Form Selections, select the HTML radio button, then add the URL to a cgi script, plus "#FDF".
For example: if you had a PHP file that parses incoming data, then sends it with mail(); you'd use "http://www.myurl.com/emailme.php#FDF".
Then post your PDF file on your server.
If you know PHP well, you can even have the PHP file return a "Content-Type: application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" header and send data back to the PDF file, which can be displayed in a PDF field.

Allow Mac Adobe Reader user to save filled-out form

I have created an interactive PDF form for a client's website. Her patients are able to fill out the form and submit it to her. She is able to receive the form, but cannot save it to her Mac using Adobe Reader for the Mac. She says it goes blank when she tries to save it.
I created the form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I double-checked in Acrobat 9 Pro, Extend Features in Adobe Reader, and it says "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader".
Does my client need to have Acrobat in order to save the filled-out forms?
I will attach a test copy of the form.
Thank you very much,
Heather

Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
Any insight would be appreciated...

There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

Okay so here's the deal.....
I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
Hope I make sense.
artisticweb

No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
to that using the source code.

User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

Hello,
I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
Thanks

No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

Can filled out forms have their data changed?

1) I want to use Adobe online forms to take applications for a scholarship. Can my candidates revisit their form on different occasions to add / change their entered information?
2) Can I give a collaborator access to ONLY ONE filled out form?
AJ Willmer

Hi ajwillmer,
Unfortunately, we cannot add or change the data once the form is submitted. If the user submits the form twice, you will received 2 different response.
Also, we can give collaborator access on one particular form and it will be form all the responses received on that particular form.

Form Action Mailto email address specified in text box from the user filling out the form??

I am very new to Dreamweaver and this is likely a very basic question, but never the less, I can't find the answer on Google or in the Help. I want the form below to always be e-mailed to [email protected] and also to the e-mail address supplied by the user filling out the form. The user supplied email address will be in the text box id "SalesEmail" listed below. How can I accomplish this? The user filling out the form would be my salesman, so they need the information, as do I.
Thanks,
David

Really needing to finish this before a deadline. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

How do I received the filled out form via email? After the user hits SUBMIT, I'd like to receive the filled out form via email.

Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

Need help filling out forms in Adobe Reader 10.

Just upgraded to Adobbe Reader 10. How can I fill out forms? There is no hand tool. I checked the security of the document. It states that filling out forms is allowed. Please help. There is no way that the sender of the document expected it to be filled out by hand. Thanks!!!

That only means that IF it had filable fields, you would be alowed to fill them in. It does not mean that those fields exist. If it's fillable, you would get a notification at the top of the PDF.

Can Reader users fill out forms created by Pro users?
