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 can not edit the form that I am filling in

    I can not edit the form that I am filling out. I saved it to Desktop and was allowed to fill it in. But I can not erase some words that I want to change.

    Are the words you want to change in form fields that you previously typed in?

  • 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?

  • How can I edit a form that has "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"?

    I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and added Extend Features in Adobe Reader. I need to edit the form, but "Save a Copy" isn't removing the "Extend Features...". I get an error message that I can't edit the form & to "save a copy" in order to edit. What can I do?

    When I saw the responses, I pulled out an old version and started over. I already deleted the one that wouldn't revert from extended functions and the copy I created to edit it based on removing extended functions with "save a copy". Thanks anyway. I'd love to know why it wouldn't remove extended functions.

  • I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

    If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
    application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
    case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

    That is not a workflow that is supported by the Adobe forms solutions at this time.

  • 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.

  • Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?

    Can you edit a person out of one photo and add them to another photo?  Like if you need the head shot from one photo to replace closed eyes in the other photo?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much!  Does this require software to be purchased?  I'm new to Photoshop.

    Subject: Re: Can you edit a person from one photo and add them to another photo?
    Welcome to the forum.
    Yes, this is done often. You will need to create a Mask of that person, to separate them from the background of the original Image.
    I like to do this with a Layer Mask, as it offers control, and really does not alter the Image, so you can go back and make changes.
    Let's say that you have Image 01 w/ the head of your subject, and want to place it into Image 02. In Image 01, make a rough Selection. I would include a bit of extra background, as we will take care of that in a moment. With that Selection active, Copy the head shot. Go to Image 02, and Paste it. It will Paste in its own Layer. Ctrl+T (Free Transform) can be used to Scale and also position that Layer with the head. Once you have that Scaled and positioned about where you want it, create a Layer Mask. In QuickMask Mode, just paint in the additional Mask to remove all traces of the background that came in with the head shot. As you can paint OUT, and also paint IN the Mask, you can work on this, as many times as you wish - even next year.
    For getting that Layer Mask looking good, work slowly, also see this http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshop/l/blrbps_5agirl.htm.
    I've got another tutorial, that addresses the hair area, and will post that, when I find my bookmark.
    Good luck,

    Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • Pass Values to Edit Form thru Query String and Save in List

    I have developed a custom Edit form from SharePoint Designer and I am passing values thru Query String as below;
    http://<>/cli/acc/Lists/GIInfo/testEdit.aspx?ID=262&com=POD_Send
    And, user supposed to save the form directly without changing the values came thru Query String as below. 
    Now, issue is, when user saves the form, values is not getting saved. It saves when we change the value in text box or when we do a text change event in form. Becasue data binding says Text Change even in data binding property.
    __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff22',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Actions')}"/>
    Kindly guide me what is the issue, or correct approach to do that? I want to pass values to Edit Form thru Query string and save in List without changing those.

  • 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,

  • Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

    Can I capture a picture with my ipad, and save it as a PNG and/or SVG file to a specific folder?

    Kind of, sort of. (You can't save as SVG, but you can export as PNG.) PS Touch projects themselves are self-contained UNTIL they are exported, and even then they'll get exported to a specific location. (e.g., To the Camera Roll or Gallery/Photos, to Creatve Cloud, etc.)
    The procedure would be to start a new project using the "add image" icon (looks like a landscape with a plus sign, in the lower right in the project selection user interface) > Camera. Take your picture, then PS Touch will bring you to the editing user interface. Edit your image as appropriate.
    Go back out to the project selection user interface by tapping the back arrow in the upper left to save. You can then export the project using the export icon (5th icon from the upper right).

    You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that, not Adobe Reader.

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • Can't Edit a form after converting it to reader extended

    I am struggling with an issue when creating a form. I create the form in Word, convert and edit in Acrobat Pro, then save a version as "reader extended" so that our users can fill it out. However, there were some errors in the form after I saved it as "reader extended". I tried to save a copy but it says I can't "edit form"...What do I do?
    here are some screen shots:

    so i have a pdf file I'm working on as  "test.pdf"   I save a version as "test_fill_in.pdf" with reader extended and then distributed.
    I was advised some of the form functions and fields were not correct so I needed to edit the  test_fill_in.pdf.
    To edit I did the following:
    Opened the "test_fill_in.pdf" in acrobat
    Save a copy as "test_fill_in_1.pdf"
    Received "You cannot edit this file as a form" message
    what am i doing wrong?
    I've had to recreate this form from scratch sooo many times!!
