Fillable form help....

Hello,
I am having a problem with a fillable form. I want to be able to circle around an object as opposed to having a solid circle.
To make it clear, I have an area on the form where it asks for the persons gender, I want the person to be able to click on either male or female and have a circle around their choice.
The only option I get from acrobat is a solid circle which i dont want.
Is there a way to just have an option to circle?

thank you,

None of the standard fields behave that way. You can fake it with buttons and some JavaScript, as demonstrated with the following: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=JBzD4guSToeYu0qLkvfvgA
You'll have to study it a bit to see how it works.
It's often better to slightly redesign the layout so you can use radio buttons or check boxes.

I need help in converting a pdf to a fillable form in my adobe

I need help in converting a pdf to a fillable form in my adobe

"Adobe" is a company. If you mean "Adobe Reader" then you can't (at least not easily). You need Adobe Acrobat for that.

I pay monthly for the cloud. I am trying to get the Adobe XI so I can make a fillable form. It won't open on my computer. Please help.

I am a cloud customer and pay for the service monthly. I am trying to create a fillable form. No luck. The Adobe XI won't open. I need some help. Thanks

Hi Olivia,
What happens when you try to open Acrobat?
I checked your account; it looks like there may have been a hangup with the order processing. Please Contact Customer Care so that an agent can help you get that straightened out. I suspect that may be why you're unable to open Acrobat.
Best,
Sara

HELP! How to unembed fonts in a fillable form.

I am using the trial version of the Adobe Designer 7.0 on a Dell computer and thinking of purchasing the product. My problem is that I somehow have embedded fonts in the form. I am creating a fillable form to be filled out online but the file size is 511 kb. I have an original form with no fields that is only 11kb. I need to have this form I created in Designer to be MUCH smaller. How can I unembed the fonts? I have SAVED AS - didn't help. Went to Advanced (in Acrobat), PDF Optimizer, Audit Space Usage-didn't work. And File, reduce file size - at that point is where an error message comes up saying "This PDF contains Adobe XML form. Such PDFs cannot be optimized." Help! My trial version will be running out soon.
Meg

meg7,
In the Save dialog, there should be an option at the bottom that allows you to un-embed fonts. An additional pointer on fonts:
- Use the following fonts if you can (they are available in Acrobat and Reader, and do not need to be embeded:)
* TimesRoman, TimesBold, TimesItalic, TimesBoldItalic
* Helvetica, HelveticaBold, HelveticaOblique, HelveticaBoldOblique
* Courier, CourierBold, CourierOblique, CourierBoldOblique
* Symbol, ZapfDingbats

Need help with folder level javascript to automate "save button" on a fillable form

I have been racking my brain for the past 6 hours trying to get a simple save button to work.
Background: I am using Acrobat Pro 11 to create a save button on a fillable form. My intent is for the end users (my team of 3, whos computers I have access to) to be able to fill out the form, click save, and have the filename appended with date and other info and saved to a local folder on their machine.
I am attempting to take the default form name i.e. Support Call Log.pdf and have three of the feilds within the form generate a new file name. --> Support Call Log_Brad_121_2015
End users will fill out the form using adobe viwer X.
Instead of putting the code that I have tried, modified, and tried again and again. I would like to ask for a fresh start and then see if I can locate my error after. I need to know what to put in my folder level script, line for line.
I also need to know the correct syntax and format to establish a new file name with the extracted feild data, saved to the same exact file path as the original document.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, I am about to go crazy!!!

Didn't let me do it, invalid. So, here is what I have now changed my button code to:
//get field value
var fv1 = getField("Technician:").value;
var fv2 = getField("Date Received:").value;
var fv3 = getField("Unit Number:").value;
// Split Path into an array so it is easy to work with
var aMyPath = this.path.split("/");
// Remove old file name
aMyPath.pop();
var NewFileName = "Support Call Log" + "_" + fv1 + "_" + fv2 + "_" + fv3 + ".pdf";
NewFileName = NewFileName.replace(/[\s\!\?\<\>\'\"\*\/\\\=\?\^\`\{\}\|\~]+/g, "_");
aMyPath.push(NewFileName);
//save
mySaveAs(this,aMyPath.join("/"));
Im still getting the error dialogue box, and nothing shows in my javascript debugger window when I click the button. Seems to be something goofy with my Folder level script:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction(
     function(oDoc, cPath, cFlName)
          cPath = cPath.replace(/([^/})$/, "$1/");
          try{
               oDoc.saveas(cPath + cFlName);
               catch(e){
                              app.alert("Error During Save");

Help help...Making existing livecycle fillable form mobile(ios/android adobe reader) compitible

Hello Everyone,
I am new to livecycle designer. I have a fillable pdf form(having almost all the field types, dynamic image uploads, and javascripts). I don't know if it is possible to have fillable form for mobile devices( for iPhone,ipad,Android).
Does any one have idea how can I make my existing pdf form compatible with mobile devices??
Thank you all,
Jay

Hi Jay Lakhani,
You will not be able to use the form on mobile devices unless it is rendered in HTML format.
If you want your XFA forms to run on mobile devices, you need to do the following:
- Create a HTML render profile in CRX. A default profile comes with LC installation. Check this for more details on this (http://helpx.adobe.com/livecycle/help/mobile-forms/rendering-form-temp late.html)
- Secondly, you need to have LC Mobile workspace application present on your mobile device. This app is available in respective app stores.
This is what you need to render the forms in HTML on mobile devices.
Additionally,
This documentation (with snapshots) describes mobile workspace working (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/livecycle/topics/mobile-ws-end- user.html)
One youtube link on ES4 describing use of Mobile workspace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPZTXfnsMpw)

I have been unsuccessful in exporting a fillable form from our Canada Revenue Agency. Help?

I need to export a PDF which is a fillable form from our Canada Revenue Agency because it won't print in Adobe. Help?

Exporting fillable forms isn't viable, and could even leave you subject to penalties for government forms. That is a non-starter. Focus on getting it to print, why not describe your problem in the Adobe Reader forum.

Help - PDF Fillable Form stopped working

I have a couple of PDF fillable forms (from the IRS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) that I have added information to and saved before, but now they won't let me save any changes I make. For the Mass form, I've tried downloading a new one and using it, but it also won't let me add info and save it. What can I do?
Thanks for your help.

SOLVED:
In my saving options I had maximum compression methods on so when reading on the tablet in reader, the forms were not showing any options. Have altered and all good.

Help with fillable form

How do you convert a word doc into a fillable form?

Normally you'd do it with Acrobat. Acrobat includes a form wizard which attempts to detect where form fields should go, but there is usually a good amount of manual editing needed. You can also add form fields to the PDF manually. More information on creating forms is in Acrobat's help doc and in a number of tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

Mac OS 10.9.2 Reader 11.0.7 does not initialize, cannot fill in fillable forms and side scroll bars does not operate. Can you please help?

Mac OS 10.9.2 Reader 11.0.7 does not initialize, cannot fill in fillable forms and side scroll bars does not operate. Can you please help?

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Please Help me! Adobe Acrobat PDF fillable form questions!Desperate!!

Hello!
Hopefully can quickly answer these questions because I need to get this out by tomorow night :/ I am new to creating Adobe Acrobat Fillable forms, my yearbook adviser wanted to make the yearbook/journalism application a pdf fillable form so I went with the flow. Now I am having issues. I created it with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 if that helps
1. How do I get individual checks? they all check on the same answers, I need individuality lol. I know radio buttons is jus one chance so thats why I decided against them
2. How does one do a submit button exactly?
3. Somehow, I got to the step to distribute the forms but it says error licensing issue? Any ideas?
Iplease give all an any thoughts on my questions you have no idea how much I appreciate any help!

If using check boxes, you need to give each a different field name if you want them to behave independent of one another. You can create a group where at most on in the group can be selected, similar to a radio button group, by giving each the same field name but different export value.
For #2, it depends on the details of what you want to do. A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server or to initiate an email with the form data for the entire form attached to the email. If you want Reader users to be able to save the filled-in form and/or submit the entire filled-in PDF, the form has to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat.
For #3, please provide the exact error message.

Need help with numbers adding instantly in fillable form

I am doing a fillable form in acrobat where certain text boxes are being added to one another based on the users answers. It is basically a checklist for life insurance. Only problem I am having is certain numbers from equations aren't being added to my total instantly. You have to click on another box before it will do the addition. Other boxes that don't use a calculation add in instantly. Any idea how to fix or get around this???? Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Thanks for the reply! I was able to reset the field calculation order
but have one field that is not populating right away and I have
changed it's order everywhere?

Help needed creating a fillable form and emailing it.

I'm new to all this and have no clue where to start. If there is a document that lays out how to do this, a link to it would work. I need to create 2 fillable forms. 1 will need a submit button and once you click submit, it automatically sends the form. The 2nd one will need to allow the end user to select to whom the document is to go to. I think it will have to open an email message to do this, but I'm not sure. Please advise.

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

How do I get the text in a fillable form to print?

I have a unique problem in that I frequently use fillable forms downloaded from one particular site (court forms). All of the forms I can fill in and print without a problem...except for one. I can fill it out, save it, but when it prints, it prints out blank. I assume there is somet mistake with this particular form that the permissions are set to not allow the text to print, but I can't figure out how or if I can change that. Again, it's only with this one form (see link below). I have no such problem with any other fillable PDF on this or any other site.
http://www.courts.state.hi.us/docs/form/hawaii/3FP272.pdf
Thanks for any help.

Report this issue to the form's authors. Since it's secured it's not easy to find out what the cause of the problem is, but more than likely they set up the fields as "visible, but doesn't print", instead of "visible".
