Cannot Edit Form

Purchased XI Pro with the single purpose of creating forms. Once created in Forms Central and 'Save a PDF Form' I cannot edit in Adobe XI Pro, When I select Forms/Edit I get the message to 'Save As Copy...' I do that then get a screen that says 'You cannot edit this as a form.' I can't do any of the neat features those nice video in the Adobe site says you can do. Appreciate any advise.

Hi;
Please see this FAQ on how to edit a FormsCentral form in Acrobat: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
Thanks,
Josh

Cannot Edit Form Created In LiveCycle

I created a form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I've been able to edit it in LiveCycle freely (which has been necessary since the client keeps changing his mind as to what should be in it & how it should look). But today when I tried to edit it in LiveCycle, it gave me the Import wizard instead. It contains FormCalc scripting & specific object names, which will all be wiped out if I do that.
I don't want to import the form and create a new one. I want it to edit the form that already exists and that it was able to edit in the past without a problem. How do I convince LiveCycle to do this?

This would be best posted in the LiveCycle Designer forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es

Cannot edit form in InfoPath when list was created in Visual Studio

I am using SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, InfoPath Designer 2013 and Visual Studio 2013.
When I create a list using the SharePoint UI, I can use the "Customize Form" button on the "Customize List" ribbon to customize the list form in InfoPath Designer and publishing the changes works just fine.
When I create the same list in Visual Studio and deploy it via a solution package, I can still use the "Customize Form" button to customize the list's form in InfoPath Designer, but publishing the changes won't work. The error message I receive
reads:
The publish operation could not be completed. It cannot be determined if the form template was successfully published. Try publishing the form template again, or change the list settings to
Catastrophic failure
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Eduardo, this sounds like a data connection or SOAP issue. Check out the following links for solutions similar to your problem:

Cannot Edit a Form in Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi - use Livecycle

Hi all,
I was advised to buy Adobe Pro XI yesterday by the Direct Sales Adobe team because it includes "everything I need" to create and EDIT PDF forms. I actually rang up to buy X but was told it was now XI.
I tried to edit a form today and got this message:
"this form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe Livecycle Designer to edit this form"
I was told this was included in Pro but can't get past this message. I previously had a trial of Adobe Pro X and WAS able to edit this very form.
It is very frustrating. I cannot edit anything I have been working on.
FormsCentral seems too basic as I need to be able to edit the field name in the properties of the field.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
David

We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them. Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat. Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!! From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade. We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products. We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $. Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back! They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!

I have created an editable form which cannot be saved as a completed copy by adobe reader users.

I have a created an editable form in indesign and acrobat, however when other users open up the form and fill it in they cannot save the completed copy. It comes up with that the user needs to click done signing, however there is no done signing button in adobe reader.

Unless they're using Reader XI then you have to first apply a special right in Acrobat that allows them to save the filled-in form in Reader.
The exact location of this command depends on your version of Acrobat.

I have created numerous forms in Designer and for some reason, "Edit in Designer" from PDF, I cannot edit any of the fields in Design View.

Is it possible you accidentally put the fields on the master page?

Cannot edit PDF form fields

Windows 8.1, IE 11, Acrobat Reader (11.0.10), Acrobat Pro X1 (11.0.10)
I received a PDF that contains what are supposedly editable form fields. When I open the document in Adobe Reader (11.0.10), a green bar appears above the top of the document stating that "This file includes fillable form fields. You can print the completed form and save it to your device of Acrobat.com", however, I am unable to type into any of the fields. Its document properties indicate that the file has "No Security", and that all operations are marked as "Allowed". I click "Highlight Existing Fields" and all the fields (dozens of them) appear highlighted, as expected. I simply cannot enter any data into the form.
To investigate further, I opened the file in Acrobat XI (11.0.1), and enter Form editing mode (Tools->Forms->Edit). I am unable to directly edit the form fields by clicking on them directly. There doesn't seem to be any invisible graphic layered on top of everything. The individual fields almost seem "disabled". I can, however see the list of fields in the navigation pane, and click on them individually from there and bring up their properties and modify them that way. I have checked the field properties and they all seem to be enabled, not locked, not read-only, etc...so I am at a loss as to what is preventing this form from being filled out in Reader, or edited normally in Acrobat.
Additional info: I checked the document properties, (Document Propertied-->Description) and in the "Advanced" section, the PDF producer says that the PDF version is 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x) so I suspect this might be part of the problem. I therefore did a "Save as other...-->Reader Extended PDF-->Enable More Tools" as an attempt to upgrade the file, but that didn't help.
Any help appreciated!

Suddenly cannot edit PDF form ..... ???

Hi all,
I'm new to this Adobe forum, this is my first post.
In brief, I have been using a PDF form from my employer to enter dates, hours worked, etc. etc. With free Adobe Acrobat, I have previously been able to consistently open, view and edit the form (i.e. enter info) with ever-changing dates and hours worked.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, I cannot edit the template OR do a "Save As" from an existing file and then edit. I have tried updating Acrobat, and I also downloaded a fresh copy of the PDF form, but nothing works. I have gone into Adobe options etc. but I don't see anything I can change that relates to the ability to enter info into a PDF. I can still open and view PDFs just fine, but I am now blocked from being able to enter info into the form, and at this point I have no idea why.
Any solutions, ideas, suggestions etc. greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Dave G.

Hi, Claudio -
No changes in the OS, and the last time I updated the Reader was quite awhile before this happened.
My OS is MS Windows 7 Professional, v. 6.01.7600, 64-bit, which I have been running for almost a year.
My version of Reader is 10.1.0
Thanks again,

Latest Adobe Reader DC cannot render editable forms

Hello,
I just wanted to have a discussion on the recent adobe reader DC. Has anyone else the below similar issues?
I created Adobe interactive formss from WD and triggered it using IE as well as Chrome. I had Adobe reader DC installed. As per Adobe this is a latest product and covers all the features of the previous products.
But I never got an editable form in Chrome. I somehow got an editable in IE. But when I used my SUBMIT button, the control never went back to SAP WD.
I struggled a lot and finally uninstalled Adobe DC and installed adobe reader 9.1.
I was able to successfully generate the form in IE in editable mode and the same SUBMIT button triggered data back to SAP WD.
But chrome could still not render the output.
Has anyone faced the same issue? Whats wrong with the latest version of adobe reader DC ? Adobe claims it to be the smartest release with all features integrated.
Thanks,
Ags.

Hey Diego,
Thanks for the heads-up. You saved me quite a few days of my efforts.
Its extremely hard to get older versions of reader 9.1 which works fine to my knowledge. my 9.1 got auto updated to 11 and now the app is not quite reliable. Sometimes it opens in IE and sometimes it says 'plz close othr sessions to open here' - strange.
Another crucial road block is that my app has to be integrated to iphone too, but strangely there is only reader dc available in itunes. So EDITABLE form is not working either in my iphone - safari or chrome
SAP or adobe must do something on this since its stopping a lot of our PoCs.
regards,
Ags.

Error with Provider Hosted App on Edit Form of a list item

We have an error on the Edit Form of one of our pages.
We have developed a SharePoint Online Provider Hosted app which replaces the standard edit form of a list item and has some further events behind the save button. Since this is rather new territory for us, we're using a roundabout way of achieving this by
using a script editor web part to display an iFrame of our app. That way we can pass the Url through to our app and retrieve query strings from them.
Our issue comes quite intermittently in that we sometimes get a "web page cannot be found" error or sometimes a "resource cannot be found" error, however, when we load another app on the site (from the same app project, but using an app
part), then go back to the Edit Form, the information in the iFrame suddenly renders.
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue at all? Ideally, we should be rendering the app to the Edit Form is the proper manner, rather than scripting an iFrame that points to out app in Azure. Would this be the cause of the problem?
Thanks
Tom

Hi thumper, if you have access to InfoPath, you can add the form to a page using the InfoPath web part. Otherwise, use SP Designer with instructions below:

Cannot add form fields in document

Acrobat Pro version 9.1.2
Windows XP SP 3
I have a document that I cannot add form fields to. When I try I get a message that says "You cannot edit the file as a form due to its security settings.
When I go to Advanced->Security->Show Security Properties. The security method is set to No Security and everything is "Allow" under the Document Restrictions Summary.
Where is there a security issue?

Lori,
How did you identify the PDF/A option? I am just curious for my future reference. I could not find it.
==================
Rupey,
The fonts are not embedded and that may also be something to address. A lot of these issues may be related to the 3rd party product used to create the PDF.

Post Migration from SP2010 -Attach File Button not working in any list new/edit forms

Hi,
We have migrated the SharePoint 2010 farm to Sharepoint 2013 on last saturday and we are noticing an interesting issue after the migration .
On any custom list on any web application ,When we create a new item,if we click on attach file button in the ribbon,nothing shows up on the screen.
In the browser Dev Tools its showing an error message as "Cannot read Property style of null".
This is happening on a javascript (form.debug.js) on line No : 5276
(document.getElementById("partAttachment")).style.display = "block";
There is no element rendered in html with id "partAttachment",which is causing this error to happen.
Solutions tried are
1) Modified the List Advanced Settings to disable and enable the attachments ,which did not work
2) Ran the Sharepoint Configuration wizard which did not fix
3)Tried reset the site definition for all pages in the site from site settings
4) Deactivated and activated all the activated features in the site collection
Its an OOB List New Form,no customizations has been done.
Similar error occurring with List Edit form as well
when you click on the List Item in the List default view when you navigate to the list and when you click on attach file,a popup dialog to upload attachments appearing,However its not working when you
navigate into the list item and tried to upload attachment.
Please help if any Solutions / thoughts

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE Standard edited forms do not display fields

I have a user who has Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE Standard, she uses it to fill out an editable form created with Adobe and send it to clients. When this form is saved and attached to an e-mail, anyone who recieves it and opens it in Reader 9.0 the fields that were edited do not display. However, If It is sent through the "Send by e-mail for review" option under the "File" menu option in the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE. It arrives and opens up with the input data in the fields.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is and why It cannopt be opened in Reader if just sent as an attachment in Outlook?

Lolanda,
Do you know if your users that cannot use the forms have access to the ADSCerts view in the Key Storage service? Check out slide 26 in the below link:

No. You have to purchase LCD separately now.
