Cant save my filled out PDF

The top of the pdf says it can be Saved As.  However when I go to save the PDF I get a message that says only a blank version will be saved.
I call the company that I got the PDF from and they were able to save on their computer, but it won't save on mine.
I was reading some other posts and someone mentioned to not have Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat installed at the same time.  I think I got Adobe Acobat as part of the Adobe CS4 suite and I don't even know what it is used for, so should I uninstall it from my computer?
Also when I open the PDF it opens in Safari,
Acrobat_com  application  Version 2.3.0.0
Adobe Reader application Version 9.3.4
Mac OS 10.5.8
Safari 4.0.3
Thak you in advance

In order for you to save it using Reader, the company would have to specially enable it for that purpose. Otherwise, as you've found, you can only fill it out and print it.

That is correct if you are on a Windows system. You should have one or the other but not both. In your list of applications, I don't see Acrobat though. Acrobat_com is not Acrobat.
If you DO have Acrobat, you can open the file in Acrobat (save as to your hard drive before you fill it out), fill in the form and save it from there. Just not with Reader.

  • My colleague cannot save a filled out PDF. It saves blank.

    Hi folks,
    I created an interactive PDF using InDesign CC and sent it to a colleague to fill out and print. When it's filled out she is unable to save it as filled out, it just saves blank. She also tried emailing it to me from Acrobat but it sent as blank. I had a look at her laptop and it seemed to want me to sign the document yet there was no button to "sign" the document.
    Please help.
    EDIT: My colleague is using Adobe Reader.

    Great thanks! My version said "enable additional features" instead of "more tools" so I selected that and then I got a pop up with a message basically saying I should now be able to do what I want to do. I have sent the PDF to my colleague so I'll report back if it works.
    Thanks very much for your help!

  • Fill out pdf online, then email

    We want new hires to click a link on our website where a pdf comes up. They fill out the fields in the pdf and then the pdf gets emailed to HR. It would also work if I could somehow save that filled-out pdf to the server. I could have the form submit to another page that triggers cfmail and attaches the pdf. Just can't get the pdf saved to the server after having it filled out. Any ideas?

    You can do it using the cfdocument tag.  I haven't used it yet, but this  Adobe help page seems to have a pretty good explanation.

  • Filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

    filled out pdf form, did not save, cannot locate

    Hi angel07h,
    Did you try to save the file, but the save was unsuccessful? Or did you just not have a chance to save the file? Where did you get the form? Did you download it from a website, or fill it out directly on a website?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Filling out PDF forms in Landscape Mode

    I have used Preview to fill out PDF forms in Portrait mode and it's very nice because I can save the modified file and email it to others, or just keep it for reference. Anyway, I downloaded a PDF form and tried to fill out the text. It highlights the form fields just right, with the blue glowy rectangle and everything, and when I type in the text it appears just fine, until that field loses focus, then the text goes goofy--it shows up starting at the right hand side of the field and goes in the wrong direction. It's as if Preview still thinks that the PDF is in portrait mode even though it's in landscape mode. Do you know what I'm doing wrong or if there's a fix out there?

  • Need to fill out PDF forms

    Does anyone have a good app for filling out PDF forms?  I used Acrobat Pro in Windows, but then my employer supplied it for me.  I'm not going to pay $300 to fill out PDF forms.  I tried it in Preview, as people say that works, but I can't get it to work.  The forms I have to fill out that are supplied by my employer won't accept editing in Preview.  They work fine in Acrobat Pro in Windows.  I also tried formulate.pro, but I couldn't save the form back to PDF, only to a propietary format.  Not useful for sharing these forms with colleagues.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Thanks.

    I know about that.  Unfortunately, the form can no longer be modified once you do that.  (According to others who have tried it.)  I know it's a pretty nit-picky list of requirements I have, but I work in a very Windows-centric, Mac-hostile workplace (even though a sizeable minority of people here use Macs).  I've been using a Mac since 2004, and it's been a battle to solve one problem after another: web pages that only render "properly" in IE, web applications that only work "properly" in IE, a voice messaging system that is Mac-hostile, and most recently this business with the forms.  My solution has usually been "if it doesn't work in Firefox or Safari, then it doesn't work."  Unfortunately, I don't have that option with these forms.  More and more of what I have to do must be done either online or at least digitally, and yet we are generating more paper than ever!  And no one who is responsible for creating/purchasing the apps to do all these things seems even to know about the existence of any OS other than Windows.  Sorry about the rant, but that is the world at Coastal Carolina University!

  • Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

    How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

    When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

  • Problems with filling out PDF forms

    We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • Save a filled-out form to Word - saved as blank

    I purchased ExportPDF so that I could save a filled-out form to Word. I needed to do this because, though the form has fields that allow seemingly infinite text to be inserted, the text is not visible when printed.  The document must be submitted by US Mail.  When I converted the completed document to Word, it erased ALL of the text I added and unchecked all boxes.  If this is all it can do, I need to unsubscribe and get a refund.  That is totally worthless to me.

    Hi,
    Did you try with different file? If so, are the results the same?
    Would you send your document as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.
    I have sent you my contact details on your email id.
    Regards,
    Florence

  • HT201232 software for filling out pdf forms

    software for filling out pdf forms

    You can see from this posting in the Adobe Communities that you can get Adobe Reader from the App Store; you can fill out forms on an iPhone with it. Reader will also work with the iPad. I only use Reader on a Mac, but even though Preview will open PDF's and can be used to fill out forms, Reader seems to work better, which may be true running in iOS also.

  • What subscription do I need to just fill out PDF ?

    All I need is to be able to fill out forms using Acrobat. What is the cheapest subscription I can get to do so?

    Some of my colleagues are having problems with filling out PDF files because in fact they are not using Adobe Reader Mobile to open the file on their mobile (even if they have the app), they are using some other built in pdf reader. Could this be the case ? (Btw. Adobe Reader Mobile crashes when I try to fill out any PDF forms on my mobile after upgrading to Android 5.0 Lollipop, (worked fine before) but this is another matter...)

  • I am trying to save a filled-out form as a word doc,

    I am trying to save a filled-out  acrobat 10.0 form as an Office 2010 word doc, but the data in the form is lost when the word document is opened, I only get the labels for the fields.  I was able to do this previously but not any more.
    Is there some button I need to push  or steps I'm missing?

    You probably need to flatten the document first so the fields become part of the document. When you look at a form, fields are markup, not part of the actual document.

  • Help inserting a filled out pdf form into a pdf report.

    Why can I not insert a filled out pdf form into my pdf reports?  I am new to Adobe Acrobat X. 

    See what it says under: File > Properties > Description > PDF Producer
    If it's an XFA form, is should say something like "Adobe LiveCycle Designer [version#]"
    You can also open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and enter the following line of code:
    xfa
    and with the cursor on the line, hit Ctrl+Enter, of the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
    If it's an XFA form it will return:
    [object XFAObject]
    Otherwise, it will return "xfa is not defined" and other stuff.

  • I can not open a filled out pdf-form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

    I have a form in Indesign CS 5.5 and made it fillable with Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I enabled the 'additional features' to make the document a 'Reader extended pdf'. Whoever I send the form now, can fill it out and save it in (the free version of) Adobe Reader.
    Problem is: when the recipients mail the filled out form back to me, I can not open the document. There is message that says: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    However, when I receive the filled-out file not by email (MS Outlook on a IMac) but on a USB-stick or something, I can manage to open the document the way it was filled out.
    I'm guessing something goes wrong in the mailing process...
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the advice!
    I'm afraid though that the problem is situated with the provider of the sender (when I open the email with my hotmail or gmail-account, it' s the same problem).
    The idea of compressing the forms into zip-files is not very usefull because - i'm guessing - 90% of the recipients have never heard about a zip-file and are surely incapable of making one.
    Some other ideas?
    Thank you though!
