Cannot fill in forms sent to me in PDF

recently loaded OS 10.5and iworks 8. Now I find that I cannot fill in forms sent to me by mail as a PDF attatchment.

If a PDF was actually produced as a full-featured form with editable fields, the free Adobe Reader and OS X’s own Preview let you fill in those fields. If it was a poor job of creating the form, those might not work. In those cases try FormulatePro. Though considered a beta by the developer, it seems to work just fine.

    I cannot fill in forms online. How can I fix this?

    Click the orange Firefox button and go to Options | Options | Privacy and checkmark "'''Remember Search & Form History'''".
    Some sites use Flash objects for which you'll need Adobe Flash to be installed. You can download that from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • Cannot Fill a form in 9.2.  Security setting is fill forms allowable.

    I have a document filled that is time sensitive.  When I try to type, the I-Beam does not move.  I checked the security property settings it shows that filling of forms is allowed.

    The security settings just tell you that if it were a fillable form, you would be allowed to fill it.
    Choose the hand tool, mouse over a field. Does it change to an ibeam? If not, you need to print it out and fill it in by hand.

  • Sending a filled in form as a non-editable pdf

    Hello,
    I created a pdf to be filled in and sent by customers. When the form is sent, though, the addresses receives the still editable form. I want the editable form to be sent as a usual pdf, so that the content cannot be changed by the anyone receiving it via e-mail. Is that actually possible?

    It would probably be better to send the data and not the form. The data should be sent to a secure web site for processing by a script. The reason for the secure web site is the probable use of personal information that should not be part of an e-mail (not secure and a potential for getting your company in trouble). When received, the script could enter the data in a database and forward a document to someone within the company for further processing, or at least notify them of the receipt of the data.

  • Cannot fill a form in Reader 9.x that was created using Professional 8.1.3

    I created a form using Acrobat Professional 8.1.3 that our students must fill out using Acrobat Reader 9.x
    My computer and the Reader 9.x computers have Windows XP installed.
    The form opens in Reader 9, but none of the fields show. There are no drop down boxes or areas to type the info showing and the save option does not show. The form opens fine in Reader 8. Reader 9.x is the only version installed on the problem computers.

    Susan,
    I'd be interested in looking at the file if you are free to email it to me.

  • Reader X - Cannot fill in form

    We have a lot of forms that had been created to be fillable, all for these forms worked with no issue under previous versions of Reader.  However, since the upgrade to Reader X many of the fillable forms no longer work, they open in read only to prevent modifiation.  I have even uninstalled Reader X, gone back to Reader 9 and they work again, as a temporary solution this is great but Reader X is the required software.  Shy of purchasing Acrobat for 5000+ users how can this be fixed?

    Hi,
    Please let me know if you are filling in the forms via a browser or via the application as such?
    Thanks

  • Cannot Fill In Form Using 10.1.3.23 IE Helper

    I downloaded a form from Fidelity.com to complete a fill in the blanks opporation.  It works using Adobe Reader 9, but X would blank the first field when I tab to the second field.  This looks like a bug in the IE helper because I saved the PDF file and opened it with Reader X and it works fine.  I also occasionally get an error during the download of this same PDF file that the document is too complex.  My work around is to save the document and open it with stand alone Reader X.

    Susan,

  • Cannot Filled in Form to Excel

    I am running Adobe X Standard.
    I am trying to export a PDF form with fillable fields to excel.  
    I have tired serveral methods shown on the site.
    Every time I get the form saved, the but data that was entered into the form is not exported to excel (or word) .
    I have tried these approaches
    File -> Save As -> Spreadsheet -> Excel
    Highlight table
    - Right click
    - Copy with formatting
    - Export selection as ->
    Tools -> Forms -> more form options -> Manage Form Data -> Export Data (fail)
    All of the above result in the form structure being saved, but none of the data that was entered
    Tools -> Forms -> more form options -> Manage Form Data -> Merge data into Spreadsheet
    This sees all of the data and creates a file, but all of the formatting is lost and the file is not usable. 

    You can flatten the fields first, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. It should then be included when exported to XLS. You can do this with PDF Optimizer, Preflight, or JavaScript, but Standard does not include the first two and JavaScript is harder than it should be with Standard, but you can set up a temporary Bookmark and use the following JavaScript as the bookmark action:
    // Bookmark action
    flattenPages();
    Or you can use the same code in the Mouse Up event of a button that you configure to not have a visible appearance.
    If you need to do this a lot, you should get the following free JavaScript-based tool: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Filled out form to email when i submit

    We using form central,  this is my project requirement :- after filled out form i need response as pdf attachment in email.

    I also had a problem with the adobe pdf form not getting submitted when Thunderbird was the default email client.  In my case I was getting an error message.  Internet Explorer and Thunderbird were both set to Thunderbird as the default email client.
    My fix:
    Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults [on the left] -> Custom, and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
    If you're using Windows Vista go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
    This worked for me.  I can now click submit (form set to mailto: and send completed pdf back) and it will open a new mail window from Thunderbird with the pdf attached!
    Thunderbird version version 2.0.0.22
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
    Hope this helps!

  • Form in Reader - problem wiath PDF/A Mode

    Hello,
    We use a portal to suggest to our clients form that they can fill online and then save on their computer (local).
    The problem is that when they click on the PDF document, the PDF is viewed in PDF/A mode.
    The consequence is that they cannot fill the form.
    The solution I found is to open my Adobe Reader.
    I go in edit > preferences > PDF/A View Mode > Never.
    Then when I open the form online, I can fill it. But it's a bad solution because our clients don't know they have to do this operation.
    Have someone a suggestion ?
    Thanks a lot
    Best regards,
    Arnaud_bxl

    It's not the case.
    It's a standard PDF
    Here it's what appears when I open the PDF (generated with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8)
    And here the preflight check compliance with PDF/A-1b
    Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat form created and emailed but recipient cannot save the form in reader after filling it out

    When I purchased Acrobat today, the Adobe sales rep told me I could create fill-in forms that I could email to others, who could fill them out using Adobe Reader.  When the recipient tried to save the completed form, he was unable to save it to his computer, only able to print.  Is this correct, or is there a step we are unaware of?  He owns Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but I'm using Acrobat 11 (purchased it today).  Acrobat Pro 9 cannot open the forms I sent...  now we are stuck. 
    Solutions?

    Hi DMOliver,
    Please try saving the form as 'Reader Extended' and check.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • Cannot fill forms created by LiveCycle Designer

    Dear all,
         By using Adboe Reader for iPad, I can fill the forms created by Adobe Pro, but cannot view pdf and fill the forms created by LiveCycle Designer. Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Jackson

    Thanks for the reply. Right now I can create froms in Adobe Pro, but I need to create an "image file" which is only avialble in LiveCycle designer. Did the Acroforms you mention supports Image field? I tried to create a form with image fields in LiveCycle Designer, and then save as static form. It will work for PC but doesn't work for iPad.
    Thanks
