Can you create editable forms in Acrobat X Standard?

Hi everyone,
Hopefully an easy question although I cannot find a definitive answer on the product page.
I need to be able to create editable forms that others can fill in and print or save using Reader 8, 9 or X. Can these forms be created using Adobe Acrobat X Standard? The forms have been created in Word 2007 but we want to disribute them as PDF's and allow certain fields to be filled in on the PDF. The form will be downloaded from a website, filled in and emailed back.
Any clarification on this is greatly received.
Thanks...

I know you can create forms with Standard but I don't think you can enable them so that Reader users can save them without the Pro version.

Even if you could do this, you would want to carefully consider whether you want a form out there for everyone to fill out and send in. There is a restriction to the amount of times you can receive data from an enabled form. After 500 times, you would be violating the license agreement.

    I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

  • Can you create a form in Adobe XI without using formscentral?

    I am trying to create a form that does not fit with any of the templates offered by Adobe.  I used Adobe LiveCycle to create my form last time.  I now have Adobe XI and want to do a simialr type of form but none of the offered formats allow me the freedom of LiveCycle.  Is there a way I can still create a form without using FormsCentral?

  • Can you create a form that you can save to disk?

    I created a form for a client. While testing, I got a prompt that the file cannot be saved when completed. It can only be printed. What I'm trying to do is create an estimate form for my client he can fill and save. He then can email or print the form to get client approval. Thanks in advance.

    Hello graffiti,
    You can send out as many forms as you wish however you can only collect responses from 500 recipients according to the EULA:
    16.8.3 For any unique Extended Document you may only either (a) Deploy such Extended Document to an unlimited number of unique recipients but shall not extract information from more than five hundred (500) unique instances of such Extended Document or any hardcopy representation of such Extended Document containing filled form fields; or (b) Deploy such Extended Document to no more than five hundred (500) unique recipients without limits on the number of times you may extract information from such Extended Document returned to you filled-in by such recipients. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, obtaining additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite shall not increase the foregoing limits (that is, the foregoing limits are the aggregate total limits regardless of how many additional licenses to use Acrobat Standard, Acrobat Pro, or Adobe Acrobat Suite you may have obtained).
    If Mr. Met is going to receive back in excess of 500 responses then indeed he would need to get the Reader server product.

    yes I do, but the process you describe does not work.
    Allow me to describe the steps and perhaps you can tell me what you do different:
    Tools > Forms > Edit > Add New Field > Text Field
    Position, Resize, Properties : Read Only; Appearance Fill Red
    now seconf text field
    still in edit form > Add New Field > Text Field
    Position this second text field over the first one
    Properties : Read Only .... now which property or object can I use to enter the instructions???

  • Can you create a form to send each user in an organisation an email?

    I was wondeing if anyone knows if its possible to create a form, which can be invoked at an administrators discretion to loop through each user in an organisation and if they have an email address to send them an email notifying them they have an IDM account setup.

    Through search query you can get all users from specific organization. And after you can run getView on each user in order to extract email. All this can be done by rule.

  • Can you create a form in which its never possible for the same person te sign the form more than once.

    Hi, I've been looking into this for awhile and believe the answer is 'no' but was just wondering if anyone here would know of a solution.
    The company I work for has a formulier on which a number of Excel files are placed. This form is then sent to a five (often different) people who are then required to open the Excel files and if accord to place their digital signature. We would like to make sure that no one is able to sign the form more than once and also if possible to make sure they have opened the Excel files. It would be great if anyone had any tips...
    All the very best,

    I am not an Excel or Excel-to-PDF conversion expert, so I do not know how Excel forms are converted to PDF form fields. With this caveat here's what I do know.
    In Acrobat It is possible to create a PDF form in which there are JavaScripts associated with fields (any fields, including signature fields). These JavaSripts can do a lot of things, including checking the signer's certificates on the already signed signature fields. Then you can make all unsigned signature fields read-only, in which case the user will not be able to actually sign them. After that you can overlay a button field on top of each unsigned signature field with exactly the same dimensions and associate a JavaAcript with this button field. This JavaScript would put up an UI asking the user for the signing certificate and its password, check this certificate's CN against the list of already signed signature fields and initiate the signing of the unsigned signature field behind this button if your condition is satisfied.
    I never tried that myself but it could work. This looks complicated and it is but if you really want it you can try.

  • How can I create editable forms on an iPad?

    I would like to be able to have a form on my iPad (do not care what format it is in) that I can fill in fields and then print out or email. I do not need to save the data entered into the data fields on the form.

    Tab? Not really a function native to iOS except maybe in some browsers using a web form. Its possible you  might find an app supporting that, but i have my doubts. As for completing a form, there are several apps available that support that at a variety of price points, but you may have difficulty finding one that will write protect the file from anyone with a full version of Acrobat. Not impossible, but obviously a search through the app store and some close reading of descriptions and reviews is in your future.

  • Can you create a form not using a php script?

    I need to create a contact us form on my website using DW and have researched how and understand the easiest way is using a php script.  Unfortuntately, my webhost server does not support this and will charge me an arm and a leg in order to to do it.  Is there another way to have a functioning contact form not using a php script?

    Yes and no.
    You could use a mailto link for your form action instead of a PHP script.
    There are several problems with this method though. First, when you do that, you are at the mercy of the viewer's computer set-up. Mailto links use whatever email client is installed on the machine in order to send the message. Public computers (libraries, colleges, etc) almost never have an email client installed, so when a viewer on one of those machines clicks the link, nothing happens. Secondly, your email address is open for spam harvesters, so you may end up with enlargement and nigerian scam emails flooding your inbox.
    Since your provider doesn't give you a way to do it the right way on your server, you may want to look into email form services online and see if they are less expensive than your current alternative.

  • Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

    Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
    I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
    Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

    Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
    So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' -  even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
    Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

  • Can you create a template that has a header and footer to forms?

    Can you create a template that has a header and footer to forms?

    Yes but how are they going to create the Landscape versions?
    The problem with doing it in Pages '09 as rotated content is that the Headers and Footers are not rotated and there is inherent clumsiness in the rotated content usually being too large for the page when viewed at 90°.
    Best to make it in two or more separate documents.
