Create a Doc for Filling Out and Sending On

I'm trying to create a document for pricing quotes.
The idea is that I (designer) create a document (writable) for a client to fill out, save (unwritable), and send to customers for price quotes.
I've tried:
creating text boxes - but when the document is filled out and saved, the client is still invited to change the fields (we don't want that!)
creating signature boxes - which pulls up a lengthy and complicated signature field
signing the document with multiple signatures - a hassle I wouldn't wish on a client
going to the "sign" field of Adobe Reader, clicking "Add Text," and saving the document. - The save option still leaves the text editable upon reopening; the email option requires an echo account, which we're not looking for because we aren't actually creating legal documents.
Any advice? I could really use it!George Johnson was helping before, when I hijacked Island Lady's thread (eep! sorry about that!)
I'm using InDesign to create the document, saving into Acrobat Pro, and and/or reading in Adobe Reader (which my client will be using).
A sample of the document is HERE

Here are the preliminary instructions I'm sending to my client:
Open the Document in Acrobat Reader 11.0.07
Click on “Sign.”
Click on “Place Signature” -or- if you’ve already done this once, click on the corresponding arrow, then click on “Change Saved Signature”
Select “Type my signature”
Type the word/s you would like to type in the “Enter Your Name” field (never mind that it’s not your name )
Click “Accept”
Drop the word/s in the text field you would like them to go in.
Repeat until the form is filled out.
Click “Signed. Proceed to Send”
Click on “Save a Copy”
Rename your document so that a copy is saved for you to email to the customer.
Email your document using your own email program.
Finished!

  • How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

    Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
    I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
    I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
    How do I do this.
    Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
    Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
    thanks in advance for your help.
    Amy

    I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
    Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
    Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
    or
    File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
    Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
    When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

  • I need to create a form on my website that viewers fill out and send to me on my iWeb created website. Is there a template or widget that can create fill-in forms?

    I need to create a form that viewers can fill-in and send back to me from my website.  I created the website in iWeb and would like a template or theme that has the form creator included.  It there a widget?  Sorry, I'm a novice.

    If you want to raise your web design skill level above that of the average iWeb user, you can try creating your own. The actual form layout is fairly easy if you use CSS to style it since the amount of HTML is minimal now that table layouts are a thing of the past.
    Here's some examples of forms created in iWeb...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iweb-snippets/form.html
    The formmail.php script is probably the hardest part to get your head around and the example provided in the download on the above page uses a very simple one along with a formmail-thank.php.

    Nowadays we need to consider mobile device users more and more so forms need to have the special inputs required to launch the various types of keyboard on these devices.
    Here's an example of a form which responds to browser/device width. On mobile devices, the
    jQuery UI Datepicker disappears to be replaced by the mobile version.
    For those of you who don't have a mobile device to test it on, this page also has illustrations of the various keyboard types and the alternative date pickers...

  • How can I open documents that I have had emailed to me to fill in and send back as it's not allowing me and I am paying for it ???

    I have had an email from work with an attachment to fill a form out, I have opened it up in adobe and paying for me to be able to fill it out and send it back I am on my I phone can anyone tell me why the document won't open please??

    Would you provide more information about what you are trying to do?
    Are you trying to open a PDF attachment on your iPad/iPhone?  What do you mean by "the document won't open"?  Do you want to know how to open a PDF attachment?  Or does the PDF document fail to open when you try?

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • 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.

  • Creating Auto Fill Prefix for filling out forms

    I am trying to find a program or a setting in Safari that lets me save different profiles for filling out forms on different websites. I am a realtor who does several reports a week, and it would be nice for auto fill to fill out the form completely and then I can just go back and make a few changes. Is there a way to do this, and can I set up different templates so I can switch the autofill depending on the site / property?

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure *Other forms* is selected. Once you've filled out data one any site, Safari should "remember" and autofill for you.
    Other than that, you could try the Safari Extensions Gallery here.

  • Can I make a form that could be emailed filled out and returned

    I'd like to create a form that I can email my students and that they could fill out and return.
    Is there a site or video that could help me learn this?
    Perhaps create a template?

    Not in Pages, except to create the basic form itself.
    The best method is create a pdf form, using Acrobat Pro to fill in the data fields of the form.
    The students can use the free Acrobat Reader to fill in the fields, which you can have sent electronically back to you or whatever database you want, or as a simple dumb form that accepts their typing.
    To have a quiz style multiple choice document, that even corrects and sums up results use iBooks [free], very similar to Pages, or a dedicated application for this style of work.

  • Essbase Trigger for SS Lock and Send

    Hi,
    I need to create a Trigger using EAS for any Lock and Send activity through Spreadsheet Add-In. Please guide me in developing the script, I can't figure out what to put in the Where and When condition in the Trigger window. Can't find any example on net.
    Thanks,
    Ash

    ok, I stand corrected. You can use a on-update trigger to capture changes. Thinking about it, you would have to create a where and when clause that would always return true. Like
    Where [scenario].currentmember
    when [scenario].currentmember <> [scenario].currentmember + 1
    I would suspect you would wnat to use the logging for this not send an email. This will spool the before and after values. I have not tried it, but I don't think it captures the information on who did it. that is why I would go the ssaudit route. In 11.1.1 you have transaction logging.

  • 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.

  • Create posting docs for recurring docs - Settlement period

    Hi Gurus,
    I am trying to run F.14 to create posting docs for recurring docs. What is the settlement period field used for? For a recurring doc that was created in May, i was able to run that during may end but now i want to run this for this month end and if give June month as settlement period, it's says batch session couldn't be created.
    Also, to which date does the posting doc get posted to? Does that depend on settlement period?
    All answers will be duly rewarded.
    Thanks
    N

    Settlement date is used for restricting selection of documents that are due.
    If you run for 1 day and documents are due to be created that day u will have a batch for that. If you run for a month the system checks the documents due in that month and creates a batch.
    This can be at any time and does not need to be during that period or at the end, posting possible depending on whether OB52 allows it.
    Note that the system checks which documents have been already processed so you cannot run multiple times.

  • FORM CANNOT BE FILLED-OUT AND SAVED?

    I want the user to fill-out and be able to save to their computer, without saving over my original. It works fine if the user has acrobat standard 8,but if they don't or only have Adobe Reader, the form cannot be filled out and saved. Only a blank copy can be saved or the form filled-out and printed. Please help if you have a solution. Thanks.

    Templates designed in LC accept data input from the users however users need to open these templates in Adobe Acrobat. Users can also use Adobe Reader however as designer you need to enable certain user rights for them to fill the forms like they do in Acrobat. For that you need use Adobe ReaderExtensions server this could be little expensive if you are just doing few forms. This server software is licensed based on number of uses or for unlimited uses. If you can not afford both there are few servers available over net to enable those user rights for a fee. You may Google them. You may check the following http://www.unrestrictpdf.com/get-license.html
