Converting an attachment on email so it can be filled out.

I have scanned an email with an attachment. The attachment is a form to be filled out. When I try to type it doesn't seem to accept letters. What do I do to change this?

I have scanned an email with an attachment.
So you printed out to paper both the email and the attached file then scanned the papers' content to an image that you created a PDF from using Acrobat?
If so then of course you cannot enter characters – after all you have an image / picture rather than any renderable textual content.
You can use Acrobat to OCR the image of text. Using the ClearScan option might facilitate accomplishing what you want.
If the email's attached file is the "form" and this form is not a file that has form fields that support your entering the requisite information then you don't have a "digital" form.
Rather, you have a "paper" form. Print it out. Pen to Paper. Mail or fax that back to its "home".
Be well...

Is it possible to create a standard form that can be emailed to anyone and once filled out by the receiver, have a button that the receiver clicks and the form is encrypted and attached an email back to the sender and a preset admin password would open it

Hello Graphicsguy123,
You would need to first create the form ( or Widget in EchoSign) first to generate a url which you can paste it in the email being sent to customers. You would need to make sure you have a Document Cloud Enterprise Premium account in order to create a Widget. If you don't have the account, you can use the trial version to test it.

How Do I Add A PDF That Can Be Filled Out And Submitted To My Email

I just finished converting an application to PDF using the forms wizard. This works really well as it makes it so they can only fill in the required information and not alter any of the other form. Right now I just have it posted as a downloadable file that they can save fill out and email back in. However what I'm wanting to do is have it where they can just open the PDF in another tab, fill it out and hit submit and have that automatically sent to my email account. What I've done is use:
<a href="digital_application.pdf">Click To View</a>
This in essence will open the application in another tab of the browser where they can fill everything out. However thus far their only option is either a "Print" or "Save" button. I'd like to add a "Submit" button somehow to where it's emailed to an account I've set up, or have it save to a file on the server. I don't know if this is something I have to code into the site, or If I can make a button on the PDF itself, or there's an option to make the PDF display a "Submit" button, just need a little help. Thanks!

You use the 'submit' method to submit the PDF's FDF to web based script page and have that page perform the email function.

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.

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.

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?

We have a form that we want to make into a form that can be filled out electronically. Can I do this?

If you mean a PDF document and want to separate it into several parts, there is no way of doing it with just the free Reader, buy it can be done with Acrobat. If you are talking of another type of document, please post full details.

Is there a format for at PDF form that can be filled out, saved locally and edited continually afterwards?

hello
on the html-based form http://www.samtaleterapi.com/oversigter/psykoterapi.html there isnt the functionality i want
it can only be filled out and printed
what i want is a form that can be filled out, saved locally on people's own computers, and and that the local copy can be edited and saved anew continually
can PDF do this?
can the end users edit and save the form with no other program than adobe reader?
if so, is this a specific format of PDF?
and if so, how do i create it?
thanks
rasmus

You can indeed create a PDF form that can be opened, filled out and saved by users of Adobe Reader. It simply requires one of the later versions of Adobe Acrobat. It has a function to enable this ability in PDF's.
The one down side is that there are usage limits (how many times form data can be collected) that you would want to familiarize yourself with in advance to be sure you don't violate the EULA. Exactly how thos limitations work are up to interpretation...

Will this app allow me to draw on the slides in the middle of presentation? Also can I fill out a contract and get signature at the end?

IF youre talking about Keynote, I dont think any of the presentation software options allow you to "Add a slide" during a presentation.
Since your posting this in the iOS folder of the forums, we can assume further that you are using an iPad or iPhone as the presentation device. In that case, if you tap and hold on a slide during a presentation, you are offered a pen pallete that you can draw on the slides with, but once you hit "Done", it disapears.
As for the Contract, again nothing i know of allows you to do that directly from within the presenation.

Many thanks ... after many trials and effort, the sender admitted he doesn't know what he did - he's new to Apple - so guess he'll have to get some training!

My iPad receives emails but I can't send out an email or reply

My iPad receives emails but I can't reply or send out emails.i have 2 email accounts. My work & personal.my work email is the issue.i tried going in and check password but nothing helped.any suggestions

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

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.

SP2010 and Infopath: Can't publish form, getting "An Administrator must approve this form template before it can be filled out"

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on this issue that I'm having, publishing an InfoPath form to SharePoint 2010 sharepoint site. To start off, I am admin of the sharepoint site I'm publishing to, with full permissions; I am NOT a central administrator
for sharepoint services though, that is our IT manager.
I have designed a simple form, questions and text fields, a button at the bottom to submit, and in the Submit Options for the form I added some emails to whom the form will go to once submitted.
I published the form the first time successfully, selecting:
-Publish
-To a SharePoint server with or without InfoPath Forms Services
Selected the site where I am an admin on
-Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser
--Document library
etc, next, next success, I got the URL for the form.
Went through just fine, until I opened the URL for the form and realized that I left the option to display the form Menu which I didn't want displayed to users.
I went back in InfoPath and removed these options from Form Options (Browser), tried to republish it, and at the "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser", the first two options "Document Library" and "Site Content"
are no longer selectable, greyed out, and instead I can only select "Administrator-approved form template (advanced)" option.
What gives here? Why was I able to publish it the first time without any issue, but once I remove the option to show the menu in the browser, I can't republish it. This is such a huge pain and causing so must wasted time trying to find a solution. I have no
code in the form, it's a simple form. I tried adding the menus back, and it's still giving me the same problem about admin-approved forms..
About 6 months ago I designed another form for another sharpoint site, and I remember having run into this issue before but found a way to get around it, but I can't find that info anymore.
Can someone shed some light on this please, I find this behavior so inconsistent..
Thanks in advance!

Hi Teredactle,
Based on your description, I did a testing per the below:
Create a blank form with InfoPath Designer, and add a Text Box and a submit button, the submit button send an email to a people.
Publish the form to a new library in my SharePoint site.
re-open the form via InfoPath Designer, and click File->Forms Options->Web browser, unselect some options
Then re-publish the form. I re-published the form via the Quick Publish and Publish->SharePoint server, they all worked well.
Whether you can use Quick Publish to publish the form.
As I cannot reproduce your issue, I suggest you create a new form, and test again, compare the result.
And test on another site, check whether this issue occurres on other sites.
Best Regards,
Wendy

After the uproar from Users about Standard being little more than Apple's Print to PDF; there hasn't been a Standard version for Mac since version 6. So many people were use the features in Acrobat 5 to create Forms that could be filled out by Reader. when the bought 6 Standard they were ready to hang the CEO of Adobe in effigy. When 7 came out is was Pro only.
I'm confused.
The current version of Acrobat comes in Standard, Pro, and Extended Pro versions. Only the Pro version is on the Mac. But that doesn't mean that the Mac community wouldn't have wanted the Standard version of Acrobat.
The Standard version is hardly a mimic of Apple's Save to PDF. The most important features of Standard is to enable Rights in Reader as well as add comments, form fields. etc.
The only thing that Standard does do are the pre-press and production features of Pro.
However, given the difference in price ($450 vs. $300) there is ample reason for business on the Mac OS to buy Standard--if they could buy it.
I didn't say PC users.
I should have said Mac users. Because the Print system and sytem by which Mac users view anything is based on the PDF engine. The Mac sytem can do anything Standard Standrd could do. although in order to placate Adobe the pdf engine used is a version or two behind. If the Mac OS could do everything Acrobat could do there would be no reason for Adobe to provide Acrobat Or Reader for Mac.
And you basing your assumption of what Standard can do a PC. Standard on Mac is basically Mac's Print to PDF wrapped in an Adobe Package. It shad no ability to confer rights to reader (that didn't come to Acrobat Mac until Version 8) and was unable to to create forms. The current version of Acrobat PC comes as Standard, Pro, And extended. There never has and never will be an extended pro version for Mac (that adds the ability to create XML based forms) They don't have the interest. To adobe is little more than a Play toy. Because Windows has so much clout They can dictate what they want. Apple not so much. One advantage Mac does have is that Forms creator is built in. on PC its an adon (it free but an addon or was).
Now back in OS 9 days and Acrobat 5.x Acrobat for Mac and PC were equal. except to have the print press features Mac users had to pay an addition $200.00. (It exactly as you described in your last sentence - except Acrobat 5.x without the printpress and The Acrobat 5 without Print press was $299.00 and $499.00 with Print press.) I know I've used Acrobat since version 3.
