Fill-in PDF forms and save with no error messages. How?

I've saved a Reader Extended PDF enabling form fill-in and save, but users report error saying, "WITHOUT THE OWNER PASSWORD YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO SAVE THIS DOCUMENT." What do I need to do enable them to fill-in and save with no errors?

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 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.

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!

Good day,
In order to fill out PDF forms, they must be enabled with form fields. If this hasn't been done by the individual/company that's providing the PDF file, you may use Adobe Acrobat Professional to accomplish this. We offer a 30-day trial of Adobe Acrobat X Professional for the Windows platform here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

Yes, you can flatten the form, which converts the field appearances (and any other annotations) to regular page contents. Here's a link to a free JavaScript-based tool that you can use: UVSAR : Selective Flattener tool for Adobe Acrobat 8, 9 and X
The basic JavaScript statement is:
flattenPages();
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference, which is included in the Acrobat SDK and online.
For invoices, I created an automation tool that adds certain metadata to the invoice (e.g., invoice #, date, total amount), flattens certain fields, and adds a certification digital signature. the original field values are copied to fields on a hidden template so that it is readily available if it's ever needed.

Fill a PDF form and then save the pdf

Hi,
We are implementing an web application that will collection data on a form and the would like to populate a fillable PDF form. I saw the sample code using Acrobat IAC to open a form and then populate the form fields. However, with that example, I am not able to save the pdf file. Can someone direct me how to make that happened?
Thanks,
Lei

In that case, I'm afraid that the Acrobat SDK is a non-starter,
because Acrobat isn't for server use. You might like to check out
Adobe's extensive range of LiveCycle server products.

How can I save a partially filled in PDF form and complete it later, before submission?

When I try to do this (in Reader X), I get the following error message:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save a copy is only available in Acrobat Pro, so users wouldn't have this option. Most of users would have only the PDF Reader to fill in the form. They can either click on the disc or go to File\Save As...\PDF to save the form. It works ok on my computer, but obviously not on all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though.
Best wishes.

Upgraded to Reader version 11.0.10, now I can not fill out a form and save as same file

I used to be able to open a template pdf file and then fill out form fields (ie customer address, etc.), then save the pdf file to the same name. After upgrading to version 11.0.10, the reader gives an error that I need to change the name or folder. Any suggestions on how to get around this? Still works with Acrobat XI Pro on this computer, and Reader version 11.0.0 on another computer. I can't change the name or save to a different folder because the pdf file is attached to a customer in a database program.

Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

PDF form and save

I created a survey using pdf forms that I am testing out. There is a submit button at the end of the survey that is linked to my email address. Once someone hits save, a window pops up giving the option to submit by outlook or through an internet email address. A colleague of mine is also testing the survey but when she hits submit, a window pops up forcing her to save it. She doesn't have the option of selecting to send it through outlook or through and internet email address.
Any ideas why this may be happening?

You have to Reader-enable the document. For a recent discussion, see: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4989762#4989762

I have ADOBE X reader installed in my systems. When I wanted to open an online pdf form, Mozilla puts up a error message and the form does not open.

When I try to open a online pdf form, I get a error message to close the reader and try it again. Sometimes, the message does not come but what I see is just a BLACK screen in Mozilla.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

If the above doesn't work, force iPad into Recovery Mode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

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.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.
