For created in acrobat pro is empty

Hello,
I've created a form using adobe acrobat pro for Mac.  I sent it to a coworker who is also on a Mac and he filled it out.  He then emailed it to another co-worker who is using a PC.  When the PC co-worker received the form, it was blank.  when the PC co-worker mouse-overed the fields, the information came up but didn't stay on the form. 
We need to to fill out the form on any computer (Mac or PC) and be able to send it to any computer to view it's contents and be able to print the form with the contents showing up...
can someone help?

This is a known problem with the Preview application on the Mac. For more information, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  • Looking for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In

    Hello everyone,
    I am Looking  for a Programmer to Create An Acrobat Pro "Embed" Plug In.
    The purpose of this is to be able to easily embed YouTube  Video's within Acrobat documents so that It can stream the content into  the PDF file.
    Many  have suggested to download the content and embed it, but doing so will  violate the user agreement with YouTube plus it would increase the size  of the PDF file considerably.
    If there are any Programmers out there that  would be interested in taking this project on please let me know. I  believe there is a real need for this tool which people would really  like to have.
    The  programming goals for the project would be as follows:
    1.  Take the Free YouTube API and create a plug in for Acrobat that would  allow you to easily embed content into any PDF. The content must be PC & Mac Playable within the Latest Version Reader.*
    2. The "Embed  Plug-In" Would essentially allow you to just copy and past the embed  codes from YouTube, Hulu, or any other web source that provides an  "Embed Code" so that the content can easily be placed within the PDF.   This embeded content could be videos, audio, playlist systems, ads,  etc.. "anything with embed codes."
    3. You would be able to select  an area of the PDF for the placement, paste the code and then be able see a preview of the content, then be able to  resize the content window. if it resizable like YouTube Files.
    4. You need to be able to "Add" to the defined the "Trusted Source" from the Emebed Code information so that it does not require every instance of the content loading to require the user to select "Allow" each time it loads.
    The  Market for this is as follows:
    - Web Based Magazine Creation, that turn into  Flash Magazines that were created with Indesign, Acrobat then Flash. This process  would easily allow anyone to create interactive content, with ads and  multimedia. Anyone cab be interactive publisher with no need for Flash  Programming Skills which is currently what is needed to achieve much of this process.
    - Educational Institutions that want to create  lesson materials with Web Content.
    - Business's that wish to  share media elements from the web within PDF presentations and Business Materials, such as training materials, Marketing Research, etc..
    If you need  examples of how this might be used please contact me to discuss it  further.
    I have a project that I am working on that needs this type of functionality and the deadline is approaching so I am seeking any and all help  I can find to reach my goal. This Plug could also be a plug in to Indesign as well. Whatever it will take to reach the desired goal.
    Thanks  for your assistance.

  • What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9?

    What levels of Acrobat are needed to use forms created in Acrobat Pro 9? I want to use my form as a job ticket but want to know what levels of adobe reader are needed for the end users to be able to fill out & submit the forms without any problems.

    Reader 7 and higher should be able to fill out forms and submit if the pdf format allows Reader 7 to fill out the form. However, without problems is a different issue. Submission of forms via email is ALWAYS a problem. It is always better to post the form on a website and have the form filled out on the web and have the data stored or sent to a database for further action.

  • How to remove security from pdf created in Acrobat pro 10 to allow addition of watermark?

    Hi All,
    I am a newbie to the forum. I have a dynamic form created in acrobat pro 10. Each time I open the form to add watermark on it, i have a message that says " You don't have sufficient permissions to perform this tasks" and as a result the watermark process will not proceed.
    When I created the form, I save the form with no security in the default. But,when you click on the form properties, it will display that this form has some pdf restrictions such as :
    Changing the document " Not Allowed" .
    Document assembly " Not Allowed"
    Page extraction " Not Allowed"
    Filling of form fields " Allowed"
    Page exratction " Not Allowed"
    and host of other restrictions.
    My question is how will I change this dynamic fillable form to allow all options as "Allowed" as this pdf form has some restrictions.
    If all options are allowed like in normal pdf, I am able to add the watermark but when a restiction is placed, the message "You dont have sufficient permissions to perform this task is displayed.
    Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to add the watermark as a control for this forms during distribution. If you want me to send the attachment and the message, i would greatly welcome it.
    Many Thanks!
    Lovina

    Hi George,
    Yes, the form was created in livecycle designer. So, what can I do to add
    the watermark and removed the options of not allowed to allow acrobat to add
    watermark?
    Many Thanks!

  • Printing a pdf document created in Acrobat Pro 9.0

    Solved the problem of printing a pdf document created using Acrobat Pro 9.0 with SL - tried many different things form adobe etc and by accident discovered while in Acrobat you have to select ADVANCED in Print then click onto SAVE AS IMAGE in next box and then OK and all prints as it should. Just thought others may want to know this if they have had problems 1

    I'm reviewing your post and while I see a fix, I can't locate the problem that you may have originally posted. Since I'm having issues, I'm hoping your's were the same.
    Sometimes when I print an Adobe Acrobat 9.0 document, most of the printed word fail to print out (although they are in the PDF document). Almost all graphical elements print and the occasional line of text--but most text is missing. Was ti your issue?
    Thanks.

  • Form created in acrobat pro 6 blank in acrobat pro x

    We recently upgraded from adobe acrobat 6 pro to acrobat X pro and when opeing some filled out forms from acrobat 6 they are not filled in in acrobat x pro if we reopen them in adobe acrobat 6 they work fine. Is there something we have to do to make the forms populate the data in acrobat pro x that was created in acrobat pro 6.
    We are running microsoft windows 7 x64.

    You can export the data in Acrobat 6 and import the data in Acrobat X.

  • PDF files created in Acrobat Pro X for Mac will not print correctly on Windows - text is missing

    I recently created a PDF file with pictures and texts in Acrobat Pro X. However, when I send it to my coworkers (who work on Windows computers), the printed file contains only images, and no text. I am using Century Gothic - a font that is installed on these Windows computers. When they open the files, they can see the text and everything exactly as it is meant to be. However, upon printing, the text disappears completely.
    We are using a Konica Minolta Bizhub printer to complete these printouts. When I print from my computer (the Mac), the files print perfectly on this printer. However, when using the same printer, a Windows user cannot print the text in the PDF's.
    Has anyone else run across this problem? I am thinking of trying to embed fonts, however it doesn't seem like it would make much of a difference (since the fonts show up fine on a Windows computer anyways). Is there a known issue with printing PDF's on a Konica Minolta printer?

    The archive format you used embeds all fonts, as does Press and Print type job settings. The standard job settings does not embed all fonts and that might be where the problem was.

  • Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

    I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good.  I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad.

    If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save.  If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved.  If I select “Save”, the modification is saved.  So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save.  Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
    With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit.  So there is no prompt to Save on close.  The modifications are saved automatically.
    If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
    Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
    You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open.  Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user.  This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
    I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

  • Can I upload forms I created in Acrobat Pro (containing Javascript) add attachment fields to them?

    I am developing fillable forms for our company. We have the following requirements.
    1. Develop the forms in Acrobat Pro.
    2. They contain extensive JavaScript, including custom functionality to validate the fields on the form before saving.
    3. The forms must include some way to allow the users to attach files when requested.
    4. Each form will be sent out to multiple recipients.
    5. Recipients may not have Acrobat--only Reader.
    I have solved most of the problems, and I'm getting stuck on #3 (because of #5). Short of using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which I do NOT have), I don't know how to get a Reader-extended fillable PDF to allow attachments. I want to know if FormsCentral allows it. I read the online help and tried a test form, but I don't see how to add an attachment field to it after it's uploaded--it appears to be in a "final" status that can only be sent out to recipients after that.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Acrobat 8 Professional includes LiveCycle Designer 8, so if the form was created with LiveCycle Designer 8 or older, the yes should have the option to edit the form. Acrobat 8 Professional under the menu option 'Forms' will have an option to open the form in LiveCycle Designer. If the form was created with a newer version, there could be some issues with newer features not available in version 8.

  • Can't use the "send by e-mail" button on forms created in Acrobat Pro 9 with Firefox

    I created a form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.2 with a "send by e-mail" button as usual (not using LiveCycle Designer). Since a few months, users cannot send forms using that button USING FIREFOX works fine in Explorer. I've been creating and using those forms since 2 years whitout any problems but now this is A BIG PROBLEM for our office as all our reservation forms uses this technology.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. create a form using Acrobat Pro. add an action button " send a form". send the Entire PDF form not just FDF. go in advance tool to give all rights to end-users (in French it's "étendre les fonctions d'adobe reader" I think it’s enable the usage rights for Reader ion English.)
    2.publishing the form on my website (or send by e-mail to someone who use reader)
    3. filling the form
    Results:
    when the user fill the form he can't send it by e-mail using the button. Nothing happens when hitting that button. It is not possible to save the document as well. Nothing can be done, not even printing or saving it. I've tried almost all browsers I know and nothing works.
    Expected results:
    the form should be send by e-mail (as an attachment in general) like before. please help me! this is really important, our office have a lot of calls and we are just 2 people here (non-profit organization). should we buy Acrobat Pro X ?
    I can send you the form, my e-mail is rgelinas at canadianclub-montreal dot ca
    thanks all!

    When your customers opened the PDF form (which was as an email attachment) on iPads, it is highly likely that Apple Mail (not Adobe Reader for iOS) was displaying the preview of the PDF form.   Please note that Apple products on iPad/iPhone (e.g. Apple Mail, iBooks, Safari) do not render field contents or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, underline, strikeout, freehand drawing, etc.) in PDF documents.
    The Mail sections of the following FAQ documents describe how to open PDF attachments in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    For iPad, see How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)

  • Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

    HELP!!!!
    I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
    If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
    Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
    Cheers!

    >. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
    That's correct.
    >but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
    LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
    price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
    typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
    offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
    to buy to save forms.
    > I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
    There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
    a different one.

  • Form created in Acrobat Pro 9 not able to open in Reader 8? Help!

    I created a form in Acrobat Pro, version 9 and enabled the extended features so that the user in reader is able to save the document after filling it out. The only problem is that it seems that the document can only be opened in Acrobat Reader X because when opened up in earlier versions of Reader, it asks to be upgraded in order to fill in the form. Is there any way of "saving down" the file so that people can view and fill out the form who are using Reader 7 or 8 or 9?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your reply Torben. When I export the pdf after adjusting the settings in pdf optimizer, I have "discard form fields" unclicked, but it still flattens the form fields and so that was the reason I did not save down and make compatible with version 7 or later.
    Any other suggestions? There must be a way to make it compatible while keeping the form fields.?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Form created in Acrobat Pro 8 not editable in Acrobat Pro XI

    I created several forms in Acrobat Pro 8, using LiveCycle Designer. I upgraded to Acrobat XI a few days ago when I learned it was unstable under Windows 7. I am now finding I cannot edit my existing forms in Acrobat Pro XI because it doesn't include LiveCycle Designer. This has apparently been moved into a separate product that will cost me another $300. Moreover, I can't seem to save my existing forms at Word documents to re-import them into Acrobat XI, so I can re-create the forms from scratch. I suppose I could print and scan them, but that will result in a less legible form.
    This loss of functionality and cross-compatibility between versions is disturbing. I feel I have just paid $200 to get less functionality than I had before.
    It also appears that the most expedient method for creating new forms in Acrobat XI is to upload them to FormsCentral. I am reluctant to upload these to a third-party server, and resent being required to do so in order to maintain any functionality.
    Is this an ill-planned marketing strategy to get people to buy another software package (which isn't happening in my case), or is there some work-around I am not seeing here?

    To create a form in Acrobat, you first create a PDF that you will be adding form fields to. Normally yo'd create the source document in a program like InDesign or Word, convert to PDF, and place the form fields where they need to go. Acrobat includes a Form Wizard that can attempt to add fields where it thinks they should go, but I rarely use it, preverring to add the fields manually. To do this, select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    and you'll be switched to form editing mode. At the top you'll see the various form field tools that you can use to add fields to the document. This type of form is known as an Acroform, as opposed to an XFA form (static or dynamic) that LiveCycle Designer creates.
    Acrobat 11 comes with the FormCentral form creation application that allows yo to create forms that can be used with the FormsCentral service. It allows you to export a form to PDF, which can be further edited in Acrobat. FormsCentral can also work with a PDF form (Acroform) that you create entirely in Acrobat.
    I think an Acroform is the more versatile type of the three mentioned since they have the widest support in the PDF viewers that are out there, but which you choose depends on your needs. Each have their advantages.
