Do customers need adobe to fill out forms

I am trying to do a meal order form to email to my customers for them to fill out and submit.  Do my customers need Adobe to fill out form?

The answer depends on which Adobe FormsCentral workflow you use.  If you plan to create a pdf form and email it to customers, then they will need the free Adobe Reader to fill out the form and submit the data to FormsCentral.  If you create a FormsCentral HTML form and email a link to the form, then your customers will need a web browser to enter and submit data.

  • Needing Program to fill out forms

    I am creating several forms for my company that our employees will need to fill out and complete, my question is do they need formscentral in order to fill these out and submitt them or do they need some other type of software in order for this to take place? Does this make sense?

    Hi,
    >>my question is do they need formscentral in order to fill these out and submitt them or do they need some other type of software in order for this to take place? Does this make sense?
    No.
    If you are distributing a FormsCentral HTML web form, your employees can use web browsers, such as IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome to fill out the form and submit the form.
    If you are distributing a FormsCentral PDF Form, your employees will need to use Adobe Reader/Acrobat or Adobe Reader mobile to fill out and submit the form.
    Thanks,

  • Need help filling out forms in Adobe Reader 10.

    Just upgraded to Adobbe Reader 10. How can I fill out forms?  There is no hand tool. I checked the security of the document. It states that filling out forms is allowed.  Please help. There is no way that the sender of the document expected it to be filled out by hand.  Thanks!!!

    That only means that IF it had filable fields, you would be alowed to fill them in. It does not mean that those fields exist. If it's fillable, you would get a notification at the top of the PDF.

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

    My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
    I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
    To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
    How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
    Any insight would be appreciated...

    There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
    For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
    What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
    However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
    If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

  • Realtor in need of help to fill out forms.

    I'm a REALTOR and I deal with a ton of forms that need to be filled out and emailed to customers.  I already have the PDF forms downloaded on my computer, however, I need to fill out these forms, save them, and email them over to my customers with all of the various lines, items and checked boxes filled out.  However, I can't seem to get my Acrobat 7 to allow me to fill these forms out.  Would someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to do to accomplish this simple task?  Thanks a bunch!

    Personally, I like the WD drives. Daughter has the half TB version of the drive and loves it...works seemlessly with her MBP.

  • Allow Mac Adobe Reader user to save filled-out form

    I have created an interactive PDF form for a client's website. Her patients are able to fill out the form and submit it to her. She is able to receive the form, but cannot save it to her Mac using Adobe Reader for the Mac. She says it goes blank when she tries to save it.
    I created the form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I double-checked in Acrobat 9 Pro, Extend Features in Adobe Reader, and it says "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader".
    Does my client need to have Acrobat in order to save the filled-out forms?
    I will attach a test copy of the form.
    Thank you very much,
    Heather

  • Can I save a filled out form in adobe reader

    How do I save a filled out form in adobe reader?

    When you fill out a filled out form in Adobe Reader, it is saved automatically when you quit the app (unless you crash). You could email the filled form, and it will open correctly filled out on Reader or Acrobat on Mac or Windows. (Warning: It may not look like it got filled out if you view it in Mail, Dropbox, or another iOS app, but it will appear correctly in Reader or Acrobat.)

  • I am low on the techy food chain and need help. Why does my g-mail address get rejected when I fill out forms on line. I do not have this problem with Safari :(

    When filling out forms or needing to give my g-mail address on Firefox, my address is always rejected. It comes up as an non valid address. I then have to switch to Safari to complete all forms. :(

    You don't download apps from the iTunes app store with Safari.

  • How to fill out form fields in Adobe Reader

    I was set a PDF, from my employer, but am unable to fill out form field, and sign it using Adobe Reader. I have an I Mac, with the latest OS, and a free version of Adobe Reader.

    Make sure you have the very latest version of Reader (XI), by going here: Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions
    If you still can't fill it in, maybe it doesn't actually have form fields in it. You can then use the commenting tools to add text to the file.

  • Opening filled out forms on non Adobe programs (like Preview) causes info to not appear.  How can I fix this?

    I didn't distribute using FormsCentral, I sent my form out manually.  I have now received lots of email responses with my filled out forms.  How can I easily save these as individual PDFs that are readable and printable, and not missing an information?

    Hello,
    yes we are using Adobe Reader / Acrobat on Windows XP / 7. We don't use a third party pdf product.
    I have repeated the following YouTube video and the PDF file in the email is emty (you can see the form but without the filled in text):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtU2mnQZlW0
    Is it possible that the Adobe Product wants to connect to Adobe server to enable the feature if I save the file? We don't have a direct internet connection - we have to use a http proxy with authentication.
    Best Regards,
    Ralf

  • Do I need Pro to fill out and save forms?

    I created a form for my business using Pro-9. What version is required for the end user to open this form, fill out the fields, and save the filled out form?

    You  might want to look at the FAQs at the top of this forum.
    A lot will depend upon your users and the product and version that they have. Your users should be using Reader version 7 or better and you should enable Extended Reader Rights.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Mac**Making a pdf fill-out form non-editable when it is completed.

    HELP!!
    If anyone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
    I see the forums are with LifeCycle but I need direction for the mac version of acrobat pro.
    I am creating a fill-out pdf form for distribution. I would like the person who receives the fill out form to complete the form,
    and click a "lock all fields" button or "form completed" button that will make all form fields lock/ non editable when emailed back to me.
    Where would I put this script? Can someone give me step by step direction for this button?
    I am a novice to this. I don't know how to run a javascript for the button or what is needed to get this completed.
    Can someone please help me.
    Thank you so much-

  • Attaching a filled out form

    Hello
    How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
    Any ideas would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
    - Open the Form in Designer
    - Add a button object to the form
    - Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
    - Change the Control type of the button to Submit
    - Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
    - update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
    *Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
    Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.

  • What subscription do I need to just fill out PDF ?

    All I need is to be able to fill out forms using Acrobat. What is the cheapest subscription I can get to do so?

    Some of my colleagues are having problems with filling out PDF files because in fact they are not using Adobe Reader Mobile to open the file on their mobile (even if they have the app), they are using some other built in pdf reader. Could this be the case ? (Btw. Adobe Reader Mobile crashes when I try to fill out any PDF forms on my mobile after upgrading to Android 5.0 Lollipop, (worked fine before) but this is another matter...)

  • Filled out form to email when i submit

    We using form central,  this is my project requirement :- after filled out form i need response as pdf attachment in email.

    I also had a problem with the adobe pdf form not getting submitted when Thunderbird was the default email client.  In my case I was getting an error message.  Internet Explorer and Thunderbird were both set to Thunderbird as the default email client.
    My fix:
    Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Defaults [on the left] -> Custom, and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
    If you're using Windows Vista go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set Program Access and Computer Defaults and set Mozilla Thunderbird as your default e-mail application.
    This worked for me.  I can now click submit (form set to mailto: and send completed pdf back) and it will open a new mail window from Thunderbird with the pdf attached!
    Thunderbird version version 2.0.0.22
    Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
    Hope this helps!
    Dave~
