I'm trying to edit a form created in Adobe Acrobat 7; we're now using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.  I can't seem to edit text; why?

No.

  • I had an earlier version of Adobe Acrobate on my computer. Apparently when I had cloud I upgraded to version XI. It appears that my earlier version was destroyed by cloud.  I believe that my earlier version was a download product.  I want my older version

    I had an earlier version of Adobe Acrobate on my computer. Apparently when I had cloud I upgraded to version XI. It appears that my earlier version was destroyed by cloud.  I believe that my earlier version was a download product.  I want my older version back.  How do I go about getting it.

    You need to know what product you had and have the S/N for the product. If you registered the product you can obtain that information from My Account at Adobe.com.

  • Adobe Acrobat  X1 Pro- cannot edit a PDF we created. It says to use Live Cycle, Does this Adobe subscirption not include Live Cycle? The earlier version of Adobe did.

    Cannot edit a PDF we created in Adobe Acrobat X1 pro. The form tells use to use Live Cycle to edit. Does the X1 subscription not include Live Cycle? Our earlier versions of Adobe did include Live Cycle

    No. You have to purchase LCD separately now.

  • I am unable to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.5 with LiveCycle Version ES1.

    I am trying to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.08.2073 (installed with Adobe Pro 8).  I am using LiveCycle version ES (installed with Adobe Pro 9).  I can open the fhe form, but the tools are greyed out.  It apears the file is locked for editing, but I cannot determine where/how to unlock it.

    You should try to start in safe mode which runs a file check. You hold the shift key down during a start up till there is a progress bar towards thr bottom of the screen. This start will take a longer time than normal. In safe mode try the functioins you are having problems with to see if there is an improvement. Some links below to read.

  • I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

    Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
    Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

  • Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

    Hi,
    the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
    Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
    Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

  • Designer form prompts Reader X error:"This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader"

    I have a PDF form that was created using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. PDF version 1.6, so it's good for Reader 7.x and above.
    When someone using Adobe Reader X tries to open the form, they get this javascript error message:
    "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader. Without a newer version, the form may be displayed, but it might not work properly. Some form elements might not be visible at all. In an internet connection is available, clicking OK will download and install the latest version."
    Is there anything I can do to the form that would make this error message go away? Is this a know issue with Adobe Reader X or Designer?

    Is there any code running on the form?
    Reader X has come out with additional security features that must be disabled to get any PDF form w/code to work.
    Open Adobe Reader X --> click on Edit --> Preferences.  Under the General Category, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" (last checkbox in the dialog box).  Click OK and try to open your form.

  • PDF Form Requires a newer version of Adobe Reader

    New at this...Created my form in Live Cycle 8.0/Professional 8. Throughout company we are using Acrobat Reader 7.0 and are not at this time looking to upgrade. When our users open this form, get "This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe Reader..." and prompts them to upgrade. Is there anyway I can get rid of this message...a way to make my form know that users will be opening in 7.0 and accept without error?
    Also, I'm not able to get the Submit to Email button to work...getting "This operation is not permitted"...how can I fix?
    Funny thing is I had been able to get the e-mail button to work at one time, but now, all of the sudden, it doesn't want to work...even on my machine which has Live Cycle/Professional 8 loaded?????
    Thanks!

    Geo,
    Thanks for the quick response. Tried and received: "This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.
    Help...thanks again

  • PDF without full version of ADOBE Acrobat (Smart Forms)

    Hello,
    I try to generate a smart forms document as pdf-file by successfully using the otf-converter and afterwards the pdf-viewer.
    Because of company rules only ADOBE Acrobat 7.0 Elements and ADOBE Acrobat 7.0 Reader are installed and we are not allowed to install the full version of ADOBE Acrobat.
    Now the pdf-viewer methods generate error "did not find ADOBE application to display PDF documents".
    Can anybody help?

  • On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

    I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
    This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

  • Itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what now?,

    itunes will not open, message says library was created with earlier version. what do i do?

    Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

  • I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am do

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • How can I access and download earlier versions of Adobe Reader to put on my older model iPod Touch?

    We have model PC086LL iPod Touched from roughly 2008 for our school that are rarely used anymore because we've updated to iPads.  But, I want to be able to use some of the iPod Touches to store files to access remotely in emergencies.  Unfortunately I cannot access earlier versions of the Adobe Reader app that are compatible with this version iPod.  How do I get access to those earlier versions?

    SGMS Knight,
    Based on the model number that you provided, your device is an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
    According to the following Wikipedia page, the highest supported operating system for the iPod Touch 2nd generation is iOS 4.2.1.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch
    Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.0.1 is compatible with iOS 5.  However, the App Store does not have the earlier version of Adobe Reader that is compatible with iOS 4.
    As a user, you can download and install Adobe Reader for iOS only from the App Store.
    You may be able to find other free PDF viewers that are compatible with iOS 4 in the App Store.
    Good luck.

  • This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader !?

    Hi there
    I use LiveCycle 8 and I design forms for a target audience using Acrobat Reader 7..
    My problem is whatever I put in a form, I get a really annoying message when opened in Acrobat reader 7
    This PDF form requires a newer version of Adobe reader, Without a newer version, the form may be displayed but not work properly etc....
    This doesn't inspire confidence for the user.
    I get this message even if I open a new form, add a single textfield and save as Acrobat 7 PDF form.
    Is there a way around this ?
    Thanks
    Chris

    I am not too sure, I thought that saving as Acrobat 7 pdf,would do that. Is that not the case ? Are you referring to something else ?
    Thanks
