Design fill-in pdf forms

Hi,
Is it possible to let reports generate pdf fill-in enabled forms to let the user fill-in and then provide submit for upload to server
Thanks for any hints/direction
Per

BTW, most users of this form (which was created in Adobe Acrobat v. XI on a Mac w/iOS version 10.7.5) have no problem with it. Only certain users (on Macs) have this "password required" error show up. How do I make it workable for everyone, including these Mac users?

Fill-able pdf form behavior

I have a fill-able pdf form that spans 5 pages. When I enter data into line 1 of the fill-able form, the same text appears in line 1 of each page of the document. How can I stop this from happening?

Most likely this is how the form was designed, intentionally or unintentionally.

Filling out Pdf form

How do i fill out PDF forms? I have an android HTC Evo Design ...

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.

Filling in PDF forms in Adobe Reader Pro 9

I downloaded trial of Adobe Reader Pro 9. I need to fill in PDF forms for my job. I can't type anything in them. I enabled "Typewriter" but still can't type in them. Do I need to download an old Acrobat 7 or something to do this? Help! I need to do this by Monday (Dec 29).

>I downloaded trial of Adobe Reader Pro 9
There is no such thing. Check to see what you downloaded then get back to us for advice.

Using Database to fill in pdf forms

I have a question regarding using live cycle to fill out pdf forms using a data base. I am creating a side of my web site which would allow our members to select from preloaded pdf forms and fill them in automatically from their profiles on our data base.
The two essential components would be: a separate form created by the web site that reflects the pdf form.
A data base which builds the members profile every time they fill out a new form.
Steps to Using Site
1. Member selects a form from one of three areas
2. Form is filled from the members profile
3. Custom made form is created out of fields not covered profile to be filled out by member.
4. Custom made form adds to profile
5. Updated profile finishes filing out the pdf form.
6. Finalized PDF created
In order to have the website work intelligently and eventually fill out the majority of the form by itself, it will be necessary to standardize the field names common to all the forms. This will allow the profile information to find the correct fields that correlate to the database for every form.
As the member continues to use the site and build their profile, they will have less and less to fill in as the database will automatically do the work for them. Eventually, a member should be able to just choose a form and have it automatically filled and ready in a printable English version pdf format.
Is there anyway to do this through Live Cycle? I am not a programmer or a developer. However, I have business which has required looking into this. I would be willing to pay someone to help me with this. If any one should have any suggestions or can offer me their services, (paid of course) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You in Advance,

What application (including version number) are they using to fill-in these forms?

How to fill up pdf forms & sign pdf contracts using digitizer pen & tablet?

Greetings,
I travel a lot and bring tons of documents for clients to sign. As I am trying to cut down on travel weight, i fancied upon the idea of using a digitizer such as the Genius EasyPen i405 to fill up pdf forms and sign contracts so i wouldnt have to scan, save and email the forms back to the office thousands of miles away. I would like to know if it is possble to do that using such a device. If its possible, how? I use acrobat X. Any advise you can give would be greatly appreciated. Hope to hear from you soonest. Thank you.

Thanks for your response jallisy. I just thought about this because i read somewhere that the pen acts like a mouse cursor when you move it around the digitizer. I figured the pen could act as a mouse while the digitizer could act as a mouse pad, as such the size doesnt really matter, considering you need to press a button on the pen to engage the digital ink and you use the computer screen as your guide. I havent really tried one but am just starting to explore the idea as tablets like the Ipad are now allowing users to fill up forms and sign pdfs with a finger or a capacitive pen. Youtube offers all these interesting pdf signing and editing with the Ipad. I just really dont want an Ipad. I still think a solution is just around the corner. But i am not willing to buy an expensive tablet with limited storage and productivity features over a real laptop.
The genius site for the pen stated that i can sign microsof office docs but no pdf was mentioned. I guess they have a special software for that but the people at genius havent gotten back to me yet. Another way i was thinking about was converting all the pdfs to word, sign the word document and then save as a pdf again ... the document is prone to be edited though and formats could be accidentally changed so was really thinking about doing this directly with a PDF instead.

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?

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.

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!

How can I format fonts when filling in PDF forms with Preview

I have been using Preview to view and fill in PDF forms. The font that Preview uses to fill in the forms is very small and difficult to read. I would like to make it larger to match the document font size.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

Ipad app that will fill in pdf form and capture signature with stylus

Hello. I am looking for an application which will allow me to read, edit and fill out pdf forms AND capture a signature on the pdf form with a stylus. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently am using an ipad, second generation.

hullo there, i would personally recommend writepdf, i use this myself and you can do all of the above more or less, you can also create customized signatures and insert them into pdfs. i think what i like even more about writepdf is that you can directly edit docs, anyway, definitely look for it on the app store!

Fill in PDF forms

I have some forms that can be filled in and saved using adobe PDF reader. When I open them on my playbook, I can't type into any of the feilds. Is there anyway around this?
Thanks

Welcome to my world, yes we do need some one to figure it out how we can use fill in PDF forms. I consider my self some what knowledgeable about fill in forms, be cause I create many of them and some of them with java script. The only forms or sheets you can manipulate and save on your PlayBook is Word and Excel. PDF form you can only read them not save them but of course you can e-mail them from Playbook as attachments. I think what's happening is when we upload PDF forms to the Smart Phone or the Play Book it is arriving FLATTEN.
I believe ADOBE should look in to this matter why the fill form arriving to Playbook or Smartphone FLATTEND.
If any one knows how lets have it.....

Fill in PDF forms and save/export as *un-editable* PDF?

Hi all,
I have a client for whom I am creating an invoice template. I created the file in InDesign and have exported as a PDF.
Working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 on Mac 10.6.8, I have managed to add text fields for my client to fill in with job-specific information. (Job number, item / descriptions / costs and so on).
Is there a way that he/she can fill in job specifics, and then save or export the file so that when opened by their client, it appears as UN-editable?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I answered this here: Can I fill in PDF forms and export / save as un-editable file?

Edit Fill-able PDF Form

How do I edit a fill-able pdf form I created previously?

My mistake, you're correct. It was made in ms word.
The edit I want to make seems rather straightforward, but not only can't I get into the pdf, I can't figure out how to make the following edit; the form has several questions that require narrative responses that typically take more than a single line to answer. Currently, the pdf breaks the answer line into two or three separate merge fields instead of one that encompasses several lines. How do I create a single merge field that covers several lines?
