Distribute form in Acrobat

I distributed a few version of the same form. Now, all these versions appear in the tracker, but I want to keep only the right version. How do I delete the old versions?
When I try to delete, I get this message... What should I do?

Thanks for your reply.
I downloaded and applied all 19 updates, rebooting where required, and now I am up on Acrobat Standard v9.5.1. This did not resolve the issue...
I still get no action when I click Next on the "How do you want to collect responses from your recipients?" window with "Manually collect responses in my email inbox" chosen in the drop-down box. When I select "Automatically collect responses on my own internal server" in the drop-down box and then click next I can proceed to the next window and select a network folder or sharepoint server, but I will have to use my email for this distribution (some recipients are outside my company, and I don't have a sharepoint server to use)...
Also, just to be sure my first form wasn't corrupted, I created a new PDF document from my original Word document using the Start Form Wizard. The PDF created cleanly with no links or bookmarks. I did not use the "Extend Forms Fill-In" separately as you suggested. I just left it as the Form Wizard created it, then I added the four separate digital signature field boxes, one at a time (neither copying, nor using Place Multiple Fields).
This new form also would not distribute by email. What to try now?

  • Distributing Forms in Acrobat Reader

    Hello,
    I have created a fillable PDF in Acrobat 8 Professional. The form needs to be distributed from Acrobat Reader, however my client's computer does not seem to have that function. Does anyone know if Acrobat Reader can distribute forms? If so, how would I go about enabling this function from Acrobat Professional?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Amy, I don't seem to understand your question, and I would say that graffiti didn't understand it either. What do you mean by distributing a form "from Acrobat Reader"? As I understand things, Reader and Acrobat are no normally used to "distribute" forms. Are you perhaps thinking of recipients filling and emailing back the form using Reader only?

  • Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

    I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro.  That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible? 
    Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
    Thanks!

    The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

  • Create and Distribute Forms in Acobat Standard

    Hi,
    A customer has asked if it is possible to Create and Distribute Forms in Acrobat X Standard, the same way as is possible

    Yes it is. Here's a link to the Acrobat X Standard help file: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/standard/using/index.html

  • Responses from Distributed Forms

    Is there a way to send me an email notification once I receive a submitted response from a distributed form
    using Acrobat?

    Is the form being returned as a pdf or xml?  You can distribute the form, which will set up a pdf portfolio for your returned forms.  When forms are returned via email, you double click on the attachment and it puts into the portfolio.  From the portfolio you can export one or more forms (data) into an excel file.
    To export the whole form, click on File, Export and choose the file type you want.  However, if you just want the form data, I would suggest you distribute the form to create the pdf portfolio for that.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended crashes when trying to distribute form

    Hi.
    I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
    I have created a pdf file derived from an html and css file.
    The pdf file comes out perfectly with form fields automatically detected, etc.
    However, when I try to distribute the form, by clicking on
    1. Forms > Distribute Form...
    2. Manually collect responses in my email inbox..
    3. Save a local copy and manually send it later.
    Acrobat.exe crashes with faulting module acroform.api. when trying to create the response file.
    Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module acroform.api, version 9.0.0.332, fault address 0x00025878.
    Any ideas?
    I can successfully distribute a different form created from InDesign.
    Thank you.

    Any ideas?   there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13.   Perhaps if I uninstall it?   I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall?  I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - distributed form - unreadable reponses

    Have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - created a distributed form for emailing - emailed it to parents and most files come back readable - have 4 file that are not readable - they will print okay but they are not readable by the "responses" files - tried to save  them a a new pdf file but new saved files also came back unreadable by responses file. The readable files are of a size 257K whereas the non-readable file sizes are much smaller - any ideas as to what is happening to these?

    The files may have been filed out on a Mac using Preview not Reader. Preview is known to cause problem wrt form fields.

  • Distribute Form does nothing in Acrobat 9.0 Standard with XP Pro

    I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard via Enterprise Distribution (all features avaialble, none disabled).
    I made sure that (up top) Advanced > "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader..." was selected and saved in this document.
    When I click (up top) on Form >  "Distribute Form", I get either no response or the Next button does not work (when trying to distribute by Outlook email).
    I have used Add/Remove Programs and repaired the installation. Repair ran successfully. No change to Adobe...
    I also removed the installation, rebooted, reinstalled from enterprise distribution successfully, and rebooted. No change to Adobe...
    What should I try next?

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Fatal error distributing forms with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Fatal error distributing forms with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I click

    and chose a form for distribution and in the picture "Distribute Form" chose
    "Automatically download & organize responsees with Acrobat.com".
    I then click "Next" and write an email-address to send it to (i.g. to my own)
    and then click "Send".
    The program quickly writes

    ("Borland Database is not installed. Can not read load service provider of Corel address directory.")
    When I clik "OK" I get the error message

    I have undeleted and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat many times without any effect.

    What is my problem and how do I resolve it ?

  • Adobe [Acrobat] 9 distribute forms issue

    I'm trying to distribute forms through adobe [Acrobat] 9 and I can only send the form to people in my address book through Acrobat.com as an attachment, but not as a link. 
    However, I can send a link to the form to people not in my address book via Acrobat.com with no issues. I've also noticed when I add people in my address book to the list of recipients it says it can't resolve the address even though I specifically added it through the address book. We use office 365 and I'm using outlook 2007. Is there some known issue?
    [Edited by host for clarity]

    I'm using the retail upgrade version, currently on 9.3.0.  I had to upgrade from Acrobat 7 Pro when I got my new Win7 computer.
    One thougth... the more I investigate this problem, I can't help but wonder if I somehow turned off the screen that is supposed to come up when I click the Distribute Forms button.  I just ran through the 20-minute video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/acrobat-9-complete-forms-workfl ow and it reminded me of the wizard screen that is supposed to appear with the three options (use Acrobat.com, email, internal server).  I haven't seen it, which makes wonder if I checked the "always use this option" button and now I can undo it.  Every option that I've tried on the Forms menu immediately takes me to the form with the purple bar mentioned in my original post.
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 9.0 Crash on importing distributed form responces

    I am having problems with a particular distributed form that I am working with.  I have several distributed forms with no problem when it comes to importing the forms into a responce file, save one.  Whenever I open the responce file it will automatically try to import new responces and looks like it does one sucessfully but always crashes on a particular import.  The last thing it says before the crash is:
    "Importing data sent by Someone A. Someone, Psy.D>..."
    The only thing that is odd about it is the person used a ">" insted of a "."  However it would be silly if that was the problem because that might mean that data is not getting sanitized on import and is messing with the code.
    I have attached a bug report that was generated.
    A workable solution, if that responce form is the problem, would be if I could somehow remove the offending responce from the tracker but get the other responces.

    just to better explain my problem.
    1. i created the document in Word and used Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard to save it as a PDF and create form fields..
    2.  I then used acrobat.com to distributed and restricted the file to emailed recipients only.
    3.  The recipients received the file okay.  however were prompted to create a login and password in order to access the document.
         a.  through my understanding they should have been able to open the file and fill it out using adobe reader or Acrobat.
         b.  also my understanding that acrobat.com would track the submissions - has only tracked one via Adobe Tracking Notification.
    i use adobe products but an new to acrobat.com file sharing.  I thought this would be a more convenient way to track and discuss the form with colleagues but am finding it to be just the opposite for them.  Any insite would be helpful at this point.  thank you!  I hope this better illustrates my issues.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 forms tracker not keeping distributed form details

    Help needed with an issue we are experiencing with acrobat not retaining the distributed forms details (or review documents that have been distributed).  We are not able to retain the details of the distributed forms once we exit the application and close off for the day we loss the details anyone experienced this?

    Can you distribute a form and check if the file "AdhocWorkflow" is present at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on Vista/Win 7) or C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on win XP)? If present, can you send it to me at ambooATadobe.com for investigating?

  • Acrobat 9 Distribute Forms Problem

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard in Windows 7 Professional.
    I have created a form with all the necessary fields, but when I click on the Distribute Form button, nothing happens.  I've tried several ways to launch this wizard, but can't seem to get the original screen with the distribute options (Acrobat.com, internal server, email) to appear. 
    No matter what I try, all I get is the purple bar showing Please fill out the following form.  If you are a form author, choose Distribute Form in the Forms menu to send it to your recipients.  Since I am the author, I don't understand why I keep going around in circles.
    Any guidance will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kim.

  • Can't Distribute Forms - Acrobat Standard 9.5.5

    We have recently upgraded our last XP user to a new computer with Windows 7 Pro SP1.
    She uses Acrobat to create forms for our customers to fill out.
    Using Acrobat 9 to distribute forms on XP for a few years no problem. On Win 7, when we go to distribute on Acrobat, absolutely nothing happens.
    I have tried a complete reinstall, removing all settings etc. Acrobat is up to date, and so is Windows.
    I have recorded the problem with a completely new blank form. No signatures, certificates etc.

    Try uninstalling using the Acrobat Cleaner tool and then reinstalling.

  • Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat
    Adobe PCD
    Adobe PDF
         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.
      5.  Enter your serial number when prompted.
    Hope this one could help.
