Documents in fillable forms

Hi, can I include/embed another document in my fillable form so that the reader can download them, e.g. I may want to provide some detailed guidance to help the respondent arrive at the correct answers when completing the form.

You can't attached document to the form but you can add links on your form to direct people to external information.
Add a Formatted Text element, write so text, select the text you want as a link, then right click or look under the Insert menu to add the link.
Hope this helps

  • When editing a PDF document with fillable forms, I get an unhandled exception error when scrolling past the first page

    The first error is "An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in Acrobat.exe [4644]"
    A debug window comes up after this and I open Visual Studio (not my area of expertise), and a couple more messages come up that may be helpful.
    Unhandled exception at 0x625628db in Acrobat.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000044.
    Then
    [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for AcroForm.api]
    This is on Windows 7, running Acrobat Pro version 9.5.5
    No new updates are available either.
    Any ideas where to start? This happens with a couple of documents, but not all that are being edited.

    I am also getting the same error for fill-able PDFs. Were you able to find an answer/solution for this problem?
    I am using Acrobat X Pro on Windows 7
    Any help would be appreciated..

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

    I need to print this form now that it is filled out?  What can I do? 

    Hello PW, I am having this problem and all suggestions haven't worked yet. Where is the Preferences|Documents you are referring to? I am on a PC and using Windows.
    EDIT: I found it and did, but still not working.

  • How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    How do I create a fillable form from an existing document (PDF, Word, etc)?

    In Acrobat 11 you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    to go into form editing mode. You'll see the tools that are available, thought it may prompt you to autodetect the fields. I usually don't do this, preferring to create them myself.

  • Create fillable form with changing source document

    I want to create a fillable, saveable form in which the source document changes.  Hope I am using the correct verbiage.  Source document meaning the Word document that I convert to a .pdf, which I then use to create the fillable form.  This source document has client/description information that consistently changes.  Is there any way to easily create the fillable form, without having to insert/size/change the text boxes each time (iow, create a whole new form each time)?  I am using Acrobat X.
    Thanks,
    Julie

    If you can have a copy of the original form, create a PDF of the changed form and create a new PDF with a name different that the original form. This will be content layer of the document and not have the form field layer or form fields. You can then open the original PDF form and use the "Document => Replace pages..." to replace the underlying content of the original form while retaining the form field layer. You can now save the revised form. You may need to relocate form form fields due to changes in the form.

  • Can I convert a document to a FILLABLE Form?

    I recently purchased the Adobe ExportPDF and want to know if I can create a fillable form (application) from a document that we now have to fill out manually.

    Preview will open a .doc/.docx file directly. You can then export it as a PDF.
    LibreOffice v4.0.1.2 (latest) can open .doc/.docx and MS Publisher documents. It too has an export to PDF capability.

  • How does one attach other documents to a fillable form that was created?

    How does one attach other documents to a fillable form that was created?

    Are you asking about a web form or a PDF form? PDF forms don't support this, but for a web form you'd use File Attachment type field.

  • How do I NOT allow a PDF Fillable form I've created to be saved?

    I just got XI Pro ... I've never had a pro version before.  A co-worker who has used pro for ages (but has an older version) showed me how to make it so that a PDF filled form could be saved by another user.  However, in the version I have it seems that the ability for another user to save a PDF filled form is automatic ... I can't figure out how to shut it off.
    Our PDF fillable forms will be on our website, but we DO NOT WANT a user to be able to save the filled or the blank form.  Looking for a PRINT-ONLY option once it's been filled out. 
    Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks!

    This was recent;y discussed here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211
    There was a major change made with Reader 11 that allows it to save filled-in forms, add all sorts of comments/markups, and some other things without the document needing to be Reader-enabled, unlike all previous versions. This is what you're noticing. So the best you can do is attempt to clear the fields when the document is saved and/or when it's opened.

  • My newly created fillable form is not saving the data input by applicant

    I have created a fillable form from a word document using Acrobat XI. This has been uploaded to our careers website, however, feedback from some applicants is that have completed this rather detailed application form they are unable to save the newly input information and thus when the forms come back to us they are blank.  Is there a setting that I should have applied to prevent this from happening?

    It sounds like the users with the problem are using Adobe Reader older the version XI. For those users the form requires Extended Form Rights be applied tot he PDF form by you before they can save the from.

  • Fillable Form will not print from Adobe Reader on iPad or iPhone - Works on a PC

    I created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro.  I saved it giving it full Adobe Reader capabilities.  I emailed it to myself and a friend so that we could open it up on our iPad and iPhone using Adobe Reader, fill in the information and then print the document.   When we send to print, it only prints the form, but not anything we entered.     When I opened the document in Adobe Reader on my Dell PC, it worked fine and I could print the document including everything that I entered.    What could the glitch be with iPad and iPhone.  We are running the latest IOS6 version with Adobe Reader  installed.  Why won't this work?

    It should work with the update to Reader 10.4. "Enhaned compatibility with AirPrint means improved printing of completed forms as well as documents with comments."
    I don't have AirPrint on my printer to test. Is your printer AirPrint compatible?
    I can get it to work with Printer Pro which I'm running on my iPad.

  • Acrobat Pro XI - I can't seem to be able to edit font sizes in a PDF Fillable Form

    I have a PDF fillable Form which I wish to complete except for a few fields that need to be completed each time the form is submitted, and save it with those static fields completed and signed with an image of my signature.
    Sometimes the font seems to auto change it's size to fit in the field it is intended for, other times it is either too small to read or too large to fit in the box and be readable.  I've chosen the arrow tool and the menu choice Edit; Edit Text and Images, and they don't really seem to do anything.
    One part of the form has two fields for phone numbers (Business and Home) and the Business entry is always too tiny to read, while the Home field is OK. 
    Aside from that, there are also two boxes with drop down menus which say Select with an arrow next to them, and one of them for example has choices of Male and Female.  If I select one, later when the form is printed, the gender choice is overprinting on the word Select, making it hard to read.

    Thanks for explaining that.  I wish I had "Locked" all the fields before I started then, since I did get somehow get a couple of them rearranged by accident and it took some (not a lot) of work to get them back in the proper order.
    For the present file, which I am not adding captions to, how would I set the "read only' property?  I looked around in the Tools area and the only thing that looked possible that I found was Protection; Restrict Editing but I didn't go farther yet because it wanted me to set a password before proceeding.
    Is it possible to make individual fields "Read Only" rather than the whole document?
    As for the signatures, what I did is sign on a piece of paper, scan that into a JPG file, and then choose "Sign" from the top menu bar between the Tools and Comment choices:
    This allowed me to drag the image of my signature to the line on the form where I am supposed to sign it, and place it there.  Then when I save the form with that signature on it, if I open it again and go to Forms Edit, I get a message that the form contains no Form Fields, and asks it I want Acrobat to detect fields for me.  If I choose yes, it then detects fields that were not previously filled in, but not the fields in which I had placed default entries before saving it.
    I see where you mean about Signature on the left pane, but if I open that after loading a PDF that I signed using the above procedure, it detects no signature.  So the "Digital Signature" you mention must not be the image of the signature like I am using.  So if I want to  make the image of my signature into a "Digital Signature" that can be verified, do I have to go to some third party paid procedure like Verisign or EchoSign or something or can I somehow self certify the image of my signature?
    I notice, as a side issue, that if I upload the blank unmodified PDF Form to Acrobat.com, it lets me fill it out and saves the file with a "form" extension, and they have a menu choice to Sign, but if you choose that you just get a box in which it expects you to draw your signature with your finger or a stylus I guess, but the result doesn't look much like my signature, and then if you save it to the computer, it does save it as a PDF file, but if you try to print it, the printed document is blank, so that is kind of useless.
    Thanks for your continued help!

  • Problem with fillable form showing up as read-only

    I created a fillable form in Acrobat 8 Professional. It opens fine for me directly from where I saved the file or when I click on it from a link which I posted on our Web site. However, no one in the office gets the same results - it opens as read-only for them when I send it as an email attachment or when they click on the same link from our Web site.  We are using the same version of Acrobat Reader (10.1.3). What can I do?
    Thank you.

    The problem is the file is a PDF/A document, and the other users have the user preference set to display PDF/A documents in PDF/A mode, so any changes are not allowed. The users can turn this off (Edit > Preferences > Documents > PDF/A View Mode, or you can remove the PDF/A information from the document. The latter is the better appoach. Here's a link to an action that you can install that will do this for you: http://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/remove-pdf-a-information
    and here's one with more information: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2011/05/how-to-remove-pdfa-information-from-a-file/
