Client can not fill out my Form in Adobe Acrobat

I created a form, I hve no issue opening it up and filling it out personally.
My co worker can do the same.
However, when sent to a client, they can not fill out some of the fields when opening the form in adobe.
Why is this?

Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe Reader? And which version?

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!

Upgraded to Reader version 11.0.10, now I can not fill out a form and save as same file

I used to be able to open a template pdf file and then fill out form fields (ie customer address, etc.), then save the pdf file to the same name. After upgrading to version 11.0.10, the reader gives an error that I need to change the name or folder. Any suggestions on how to get around this? Still works with Acrobat XI Pro on this computer, and Reader version 11.0.0 on another computer. I can't change the name or save to a different folder because the pdf file is attached to a customer in a database program.

Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

Filling out a form in adobe reader

Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
Thanks

That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

I can not fill out security questions-the form is shown up not completly

I can´t answer the security questions, because only the half site comes up. First line I see is "security question" last line is "alternate e-mail". On top I miss e-mail and Password, at the end I miss the age compared with support info.
OSX 10.6.8/ iTunes 10.7. with Mini, Macbook Pro, iMac.
Thank you for any idea how to overcome this.

The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account. If you aren't getting the reset link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Filling out pdf forms using adobe professional 6.0

I am trying to complete a form that is only available in pdf format. The form has lines where you are supposed to enter your information. I am using Adobe Professional 6.0. The "touch up text tool" allows me to add the text, but it removes the lines on the form. Using the line tool, I am able to underline the text I enter, but the line doesn't print out. If I try to printing with the "print with comments" option, it prints the line, but it also includes a comment with each of the lines. I read that the later versions of Adobe Professional have a "typewriter tool"--which seems like exactly what I need. Is there anything similar to that available for the Adobe Professional 6.0. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for your input. I found the best way to enter the information into the form was to use the "text field" tool(under tools, advanced editing, forms). I had to change the properties for the text field a little, so that the information would show up correctly on the form. Thanks again!

Trouble filling out word form

Ok I am trying to get a form tht is in word filled out on my MAC. The form is in Word so it opens in text edit. The thing is it is supposed to be two sheets that are horizontal but it opens in text edit as one form that has both sheets on top of each-other compressed vertically. How can I fill out this form on my MAC?

I am going to assume that you do not have Office on your Mac, so here are instructions to edit and fil it out in Pages:
Make sure that the Pages application icon is in your Dock. Navigate to your Word document in Finder. Drag the Word document from Finder over the Pages icon in your Dock, and let go. Pages will now open the Word document in its native format, and you can fill out the form. Once you are done, you can save the changes you made to it by pressing Cmd + S. This will save it in the Word document you opened. If you navigate to the "Save" item in the "File Menu" it will save the document as a Pages document. Don't ask me why Pages does this, it's just a bug in the application.
Good luck,
Will

A word document was emailed to me. I can open the document without a problem. Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form? When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

Can I send reminders to fill out the form if they have not been completed?

There is not a great response rate so I would like to remind people to fill out the form rather than sending it again.

Formscentral has no ability to send reminders so you would have to do this via email assuming you know who all has tried to fill out your form.

Create a Form in Acrobat Standard that can be filled out AND SIGNED using Free Reader

I am tasked with creating forms that can be read, filled out and signed and submitted electronically by users that have only the reader software. I am using Acrobat 5 standard. I have not yet found a way to successfully create a form field that would allow users to insert a signature of some sort. This signature does not have to be encrypted, or use the digital signature system Adobe Acrobat has where you create a profile, log in, etc. It could be as simple as the ability to insert a jpeg or other image of their handwritten signature. This is to avoid having to have them fill it out, and then print it and fax or scan it in. It would be great if they could fill it out and then just save it and email it. How would I do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks,
JOhn

With AA5, there is no capability to submit a signature - even electronic. You can create a form that can be filled out, signed in the sense of adding a name and date, and submit to a web site.
Insertion of images is not part of forms with AA5, but I think has become possible recently. Even so, they reader would also have to be compatible with the feature to be able to use it. If the typing of the name and the date would do, then you can add those fields - sort of the limit with AA5.
With AA5, they can not save the form with the data. They can submit the data as an FDF file to a web site. If you have control of the client machines, then you can consider e-mail since those issues can be worked out locally. Without control of the clients (like a general form on the web), don't bother with e-mail since there will always be some that have problems.

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

How can I print out a form as it looks after it is filled out???

I would like to have people fill out a form then when they
submit it or print it the page will print as it looks on the site
or email the completed form as it appears on the site. I have seen
things like this before but I am not sure how it is accomplished.
Anyone got some input for me?
Thanks
Jamie

what server side language are you using?
You can capture any form data in the page you send the form
to. That page
can display the data, confirm it, or do something else with
it (enter into
db, email, whatever).
For example,
Username: <?php echo $_POST['username'] ?>
Password: <?php echo $_POST['password'] ?>
Would give you the username and password of somebody that
just logged in.
You language specifics will change.

How do I create an online PDF form that can be filled out by recipient?

I have Create PDF Online and am wondering how I go about creating a document that can be filled out by a recipient. This would be regarding a questionaire type form where I would ask questions and the recipient fills in the answers. I know I have received these in the past from other people, but do not know how to do this myself. I don't know if this is even possible with CREATE PDF ONLINE or if I need to purchase a special Adobe software package in order to do this.
Thank you in advance for any information that any of you can give me.

i'm afraid i can't help you. i've never tried to create a document that can
be filled out. hopefully, someone else can help you.

People are filling out my form and saving it to finish later. It is not emailing them their form to finish and they are having to redo it.

Hi,
The form data will send out email when first time data is saved, but when the user save it for the second time or third time, it won't send out emails automatically, you have to click on the resend email link to have the email sent again. For the subsequent saves, they can use the link provided in first email to retrieve web data. Please check with your users if they have run into this situation and are expecting emails from second or later saves.
If it is not the case, please send me the link of your web form to [email protected] and I would like to try it.
Thanks,
Wenlan

I have purchased Adobe XI Pro and created a form for entering bowling scores to submit to newspaper for my high school team. I can not figure out how to get pdf's into my documents folder on my iPad so that I can access the files in bowling alleys where I do not have a Wi-Fi connections. I need to be able access files without going to acrobat.com. Help!!!@

Post the PDF files to a web site. The browse to them in Safari on the iPad. When you Open the files specify the Open to occur in Adobe Reader. Then you can have/Save them in your Documents folder on the iPad. An iPad has limited access to files otherwise.
