Filling out enabled forms in Reader 10 vs Reader 11

Reader 10 requires you to "sign" in order to save the form but Reader 11 does not.
The message (in purple banner) in 10 is:
Click 'sign' to fill out and sign the form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'
The message in Reader 11 is
Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form.
I have both versions so I saved in v10 after "signing" which not a requirement of the form I built.
Reopening in 10 does not allow me to enter any more data . Message in purple banner is gone.
This is a problem as the form is 14 pages long and most folks do not have all their answers together at one sitting.
Reader 11 allows me to partially complete, save, close, reopen and continue filling out the form.
Is this really the way these versions work?

    If the PDF is a form fillable PDF, which I assume that it is, email it to yourself or send it to DropBox and open it on your computer. You should see the fields filled in there. It works for me if I do it that way.
    Adobe Reader supports it, but the other apps don't. I assume that if you email the PDF to a computer user it would be readable in Adode Reader.

  • Filling out a form in adobe reader

    Im filling out a form in adobe reader for a scholarship. It was going well until I hit a certain section. Instead of typing the words horizontally, it was typing them vertically. Is there any easy way to fix this? I dont want to have to handwrite the entire thing.
    Thanks

    That's an interesting form. It looks like it started out as an XFA form that was created in LiveCycle Designer, and somehow converted to an acroform on a Mac. Whatever the process was resulted in setting the rotation on some of the field to 90 degrees. As Mike said, there's nothing you can do about it with just Reader.
    If you had Acrobat, you could set the proper rotation for the fields. If you really want to do this and don't have Acrobat, you can install the trial version of Acrobat 10. Or you could try contacting the creator of the form and get them to fix it.

  • I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.

    I am filling out a form that requires me to put a passport photo using Adobe Reader.
    However, when I click on the square to insert the photo, a screen pops up telling me to "select a PDF file and import it as an image" and just an "OK" button to press.
    When running the debugger, I get NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method. Field.buttonImportIcon:6:Field Click here to add a photo:Mouse Up. Any way around it? Below is the problem I'm talking about.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I've converted  photos into pdf format and it still won't allow me to insert the photo. I wouldn't know whether it'd be too large or small since I cannot insert it in the first place.
    "Warning: Javascript Windows: Select the PDF file to import this button as an image" is the message that keeps appearing. I can't seem to find anything related to this.

  • Please help!!!!!! i filled out a job application using adobe reader but i cannot send the file back via email because the file is protected with a lock. how do i unlock this file to send it?!!!!!!!!!

    Hi kevinv1987,
    It doesn't sound like the PDF was password protected (or Adobe Reader would prompt you for a password). Instead, it sounds like that file may be marked locked by your operating system. Are you on Mac OS or Windows? In either case, here are instructions for removing the lock icon from the file:
    Remove the Lock Icon from a Folder in Windows 7 (check Microsoft's website if you have a different version of Windows)
    On Mac OS, select the file in the Finder, and choose File > Get Info. Then, just deselect the Lock checkbox.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Problems with filling out PDF forms

    We have problems with filling out PDF-forms. Aotomatic filling of forms is deactivated and we use the Adobe Reader 11.0.05. The problem is: After some time the inputs are wrong put down in the form. For example: I write 120 and in the form stands 125. We have already extinguished the cache. Thanks for your help in advance.

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

  • How may i fill out a form on a scanned form saved in pdf format?

    how may i fill out a form on a scanned form saved in pdf format?

    With Acrobat you can either add interactive form fields (manually or with the Form Wizard), or you can use the Typewriter tool to add a type of text comment. Exactly how you do either of these depends on which version of Acrobat you're using.
    If you only have Reader, there's nothing you can if the document doesn't have interactive form fields or if it hasn't been Reader-enabled to allow use of the typewriter tool or other commenting.

  • My autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    my autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

    Back up all data, then test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    1. Press the down-arrow key. (Credit to ASC member iNeight.)
    2. Quit and relaunch Safari. Force quit if necessary.
    3. Click in the first field to be filled, and then select
    Edit ▹ AutoFill Form
    from the menu bar. You may have to reload the page in order to do this.
    4.  Select
    Contacts ▹ Preferences ▹ vCard
    and uncheck the box marked
    Enable private me card
    if it's checked.
    5. Select your card in Contacts. Then select
    Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.
    6. In Safari, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ AutoFill ▹ AutoFill web forms: Using info from my Contacts card
    If the box was already checked, uncheck it and then check it again.
    7. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.

    8. Run Software Update and install any available updates.

  • Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    Firefox 7 is forcing me to fill out a form field that isn't required. I've used FF on this site for years but when I upgraded to FF7 it no longer works. IE it works fine.

    It's our internal applicant tracking systems (resume database). It works fine in IE and all previous verisons of FF but in FF 7 a bubble icon pops up stating that "Please fill out this field".
    The field is not required but states "Require all of these words" if you to run a search based on those parameters.

  • I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported with the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the new version before using the older version?

    I need to install Mozella Firefox 2.0 to fill out a form that is not supported to input info from the newer version that is installed on my PC. Do I need to delete the newer version before using the older version? If so, how do I delete the new version and install the older version?

    If you just need it for one site you can use the portable version of Firefox 2 instead. You can install the portable version on a USB key, or if one is not available choose the custom install and install it somewhere on your hard drive. The portable version will not interfere with your current version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - the link for Firefox 2.0.0.20 is near the bottom of that page.

  • When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • Filling out a form scanned to PDF

    Is this Possible? I would like to be able to fill out this form that I scanned to pdf...while it is still in the computer, then print it out completed so I can mail it off. I just can not seem to figure this out, please help!

    This isn't a question about PDF Specifications; this really seems to
    be about software.
    If you have Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, the answer is
    yes. Please ask in the Acrobat Windows or Acrobat Macintosh forum.
    if you have Adobe Reader only the answer is no.... but you also have
    some software to scan to PDF, so see if that has a forum.

  • In filling out a form with a list of names, is there a way to sort it, such as an alpha sort?

    Is there a way to sort names in adobe?  Such as when filling out a form?
    Or should I just give up and do the industry standard and use excel?

    Reader cannot do what you want. Yes you can use Excel, Numbers, and a dozen other spreadsheets. Or you can use database software (I tend to use FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Go, but there are many other choices), you can also use Form software (which again is just a simple database).

  • Unable to fill out interactive form fields in the pdf form.

    The only Flash Player that is remotely connected to Adobe Reader is the plugin.
    Can you temporarily uninstall the plugin (or both ActiveX and plugin using http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and see if the problem disappears?

  • How do I fill out a form already converted from pdf to word

    how do I fill out a form i converted from pdf to a word doc?

    What kind of "form" is it?  A .pdf or .doc file?
    Generally I would save the file somewhere (desktop or document folder).  There is a save button for attachments in mail's header section.  Then open the file with an appropriate app like Adobe Reader for .pdf files or Word or Pages for .doc files.  Fill out the form and save.  Then email the form back as an attachment.
