Can't see info typed into fillable pdf: See Below

I created pdf forms using adobe forms central.
)    I have the pdf I created using FormsCentral on my desktop
)    I do a file save as pdf, so I can change the name of the document while still saving my blank original pdf document.
)    I write into my fillable saved as pdf doc and then email it to a coworker. The file size at this point is around 67 KB
)    This coworker opens up file and does a save as so they can rename it and save it to their desktop.
)    This coworker than adds information to the document by tying into the fillable pdf doc.
)    They email the document back to me
)    When I receive the document it is now 1 MB, Also I can only see what I wrote into the doc before I emailed it to her. However if I print the document everything she typed in shows up on the printed document. Or If I click in each field that you can type in the words or numbers she typed in show up but only in the field I’m clicking my mouse in
)    My question is would you say this is a user issue or an issue with the form itself, perhaps a bug.

Hey George, I emailed you the pdf docs. One using Windows Reader and One using Adobe Reader. It does appear that the fillable pdf docs do not work very well with windows reader. Windows Reader makes the file size much bigger and doesn't let people who don't use windows view info put into the file unless you print the doc or click in each space to view whats written. It does appear that the drop down menus and check boxes work in both adobe reader and windows reader.
Thanks,

I am unable to fill in info on a fillable PDF

I am unable to fill in info on a fillable PDF form. Do i need to down load anything???

If you're viewing that file with the Preview application that comes with OS X, I've found that it's not perfect at being able to read PDF files. You might try the free Adobe Reader. Once you install that it will take over viewing of PDF files in Safari. If you don't want that, open Adobe Reader's preferences and change that option in the "Internet" category.

Insert Word document with chart/table into fillable PDF?

My customer is using a PDF fillable form I created, which has a single text box to use for letters, etc. She has a Word document that contains a table/chart that she wants to insert into the fillable PDF, but when she brings it into the PDF the table/chart disappears. How can she get that part of her Word document to insert properly?

Hi,
just to let you know I have sorted this.

Saving data typed into a PDF

Hi folks,
There's probably a million questions like this one but I can't concentrate enough right now to try to go through everything.
I made a list in Excel, exported it as a PDF.
Opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Went through the Start Form Wizard, all worked nicely, put all my check boxes and fields in where I wanted.
Save it - and then open it in Adobe Reader.
"You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
After some careful googling, I discover to be able to make a form that is savable, I need Adobe LiveCycle. So I scout around on my work computer and discover I do in fact have LiveCyle Designer ES 8.2.
Now what? I do not know what I'm meant to tick in this program to make my PDF savable by other people.
I appreciate your time and patience! Hopefully it's a super easy question and that I feel like an idiot for asking
Kind regards,
--Sasha

Hi Sasha,
Using Acrobat, you can create forms that are called AcroForms. The forms created in LC Designer are called XFA (XML Forms Architecture) and are more data centric. While both will open in Acrobat, they are completely different animals.
The issue with users not being able to save the data with Reader is that the form is not Reader Enabled. You can Reader Enable a form using one of two methods:
Reader Enable the form using Acrobat Professional (V8 or below) or Acrobat Standard (V9 or above). Note there are licensing restrictions.
Reader Enable the form using the full server product Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5. This involves additional licensing fees.
Have a look here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU, at the features that are available depending on whether the user has Acrobat or Reader; if the form is Reader Enabled; and how the form was Reader Enabled.
The issue of Reader Enabling would also apply to AcroForms.
I don't think that you need to dive into LC Designer just yet, as forms created in LC Designer face the same issues about Reader Enabling as forms developed in Acrobat.
If your usage complies with the EULA, then you could Reader Enable your form in Acrobat.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Typing into a PDF form

I am trying to type into a PDF form that allows the form to be filled out and saved. However, when I type a letter, a number appears instead. Is there a setting issue that causes numbers to be typed instead of letters when depressing letter keys? Thanks

Hi Jon,
Even though you're only seeing this in your Acrobat forms at present, I still feel that problem is more likely related to your OS or even your hardware.
The forms works as expected everywhere else, so we know it's not a form issue. You've reinstalled Reader, so you should be dealing with factory defaults there.
I've googled this issue, and found that this issue has been reported (unrelated to Acrobat) by others using various hardware. For example, I've found the issue reported on an HP Pavilion, where the Num Lock key gets stuck on, and users get numbers when they type letters. I suspect something similar is happening on your system. What hardware are you using?

How can I re-insert pages into a PDF?

Hi- it will become obvious that I am new to Illustrator (Creative Cloud 2014 on a Mac, for what it's worth). I am editing a brochure and when I opened the PDF with Illustrator I was asked to select a particular page on which to work. Now that I have done that it saved as a separate page- how can I insert it back into the brochure format? As it stands now I have the old brochure in its entirety, and an edited, single page separately.
Thank you in advance.

If you have Acrobat Pro, you can replace the previous page with the new page and then, resave the new .pdf. It is a simple swap.

How can I integrate add-ons into a PDF (Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), such as Babylon English Dictionary?

How can I integrate the Fox add-ons into a PDF (Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), such as Babylon English Dictionary? Many PDF do support my add-ons. BTW, the PDF in question is one that I have uploaded to my web site.

Babylon would need to support Adobe Acrobat for that to happen.

Can I convert a file into a PDF in Adobe Reader and automatically attach it in the Reader?

I understand that I can merge files online. What I'd like to do is have my original PDF open and convert an Excel sheet into a PDF that is attached to the original PDF within Reader. Being able to do all of this in one place is the main reason I'm subscribing.

HI Elizabeth,
Yes, you are correct that merging can only happen online however if you are trying to achieve all the three task togather then i would recommend you to purchase the complete PDF solution Acrobat Professional.
You can achieve this task with the feature in Acrobat called as Action Wizard which create a batch sequence of all the three process. You just need to run the process and your job is done.
For more information:

unfortunately, with Adobe Reader it is not possible.
Let me know if you have any other question.

Can't download or open a fillable pdf with Windows 8.1 - desperately need help!

My son is working on a Boy Scout Eagle project. He recently got a computer with Windows 8.1. I also have Windows 8.1 on my computer. Neither of us are able to open the Eagle service project workbook fillable pdf form he already started and emailed to himself from his old computer or to download a new form from the BSA website. The latest version of Adobe pdf reader (11) is installed on both our machines. Here is the page from which we are to download the form:
Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook Procedures
Can anyone help us?

Have you tried opening the PDF directly from Adobe Reader? Windows 8.1 included Microsoft Reader, which is far less capable than Adobe Reader, and can't work with XFA-based PDF forms like the one you're trying to use.

How can I insert jpeg images into a PDF's Header and Footer?

International Clients send me a lot of pdf price lists (hundreds). I want to be able to easily add our letterhead header and footer jpegs to my Acrobat one time so that I can then have them easily placed and printed on each new original document I receive when I (re)print them as a new (compressed) pdf. This will streamline my work so that when I send them out and they start circulating among Buyers they can clearly see that we are the US contact for XYZ Client?
Thank you.

If you add a background or water mark, as opposed to a footer/header, you can specify an image to use.
You can also use JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button or menu item so that you can easily add the images to a documant, or even in a batch process, using a variety of methods. Post again if you'd like more information.

How can I insert a comment into a PDF stream?

I am creating a PDF stream manually (long story, don't ask) and when
debugging the resulting PDF by looking at the raw PDF stream, it would
be really handy if I could tell which parts of the PDF stream came
from which parts of my code, so I was trying to find some way to
insert comments into the PDF stream.
I came up with this:
(my comment here) pop
which I thought would create a string object on the stack and then pop
it off, but this PDF code still confuses Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions on how I can insert stuff into the PDF stream that
doesn't affect Adobe Reader, but lets me distinguish different parts
of the PDF stream?
Thanks,
Chris

the best is to insert screenshot directly in keynote. If it's for a paper version save everything as pdf and compile with "combine pdf".

I can't add chinese font into a pdf

I have scanned a book and OCR it into an PDF file. I want do some translation work that change the English to Chinese. I only use the Touchup tool, It's so hard to do, I have to right-click-properties-change the font to Simsun(It's the only Chinese font I can find in the font list), and when I type one word, the font set back to the original Arial, I can't do it in this way
Anyone have a good way to help me? I'll really appreciate your help

You don't understand our thrust. PDF files are really not meant for
editing! Only the most minor of changes can be made and even if you can
change a single letter, you cannot expect the text on the page to follow
its previous course. It might, but all to often it will not. I have
seen changing one letter ruin several lines of text! It is always,
always, ALWAYS better to create the document anew rather than try any
serious editing. Even with minor editing it is better to recreate the
document if possible.

Pull database information into fillable PDF

Hello,
I've created a fillable PDF from a printed short bill of lading. All fields work wonderfully, but I would like to be able to have the PDF generate a unique bill of lading number each time the file is opened. I'm assuming I would need to pull this information from a database?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

Figured it out:
function date() {
var fld = this.getField("BOL");
fld.value = util.printd("yymmddHHMM",new Date());
date();
This generated the date code of 1009212003. The BOL will always be unique and is almost impossible to duplicate until the year 3010.
Thanks for your help and nudge in the right direction, Try!

Can I imbed a GIF into a PDF for web viewing?

I want to email a PDF, and have a GIF animation while viewed from a computer. Is this possible?

And, no, you can't put a GIF in a PDF and have it animate. Multimedia in PDF is possible, but complex. Best avoided in my view, too many uncertainties in viewing.
