Form created but saved as pdf.

I originally created a form using forms central, saved it as a pdf to test knowing I needed to go back and correct typos etc. Unfortunately it is no longer in the forms central section! I tried importing it but get the message that it has already been distributed. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but it's a 7 page long form with multiple questions-lots of entry! Please help.
This is my 2 form I created so I learned a valuable lesson. Thank you in advance for anyone's help.

Are you saying that you deleted the original form in FormsCentral? Were you the author of that original FormsCentral form?
You can't import a FormsCentral PDF form back into FormsCentral. You wouldn't be able to fix any typo anyway since it would be an imported PDF and not a be a form designed in FormsCentral anymore.
If the issue is only a few typo in the static text then you can make the changes directly in Acrobat.

Form created but not visible!!

Form created but not visible!!
Hi everyBody,
I've created 2 user Forms binded with a 2 user tables (with diffrent UDOs) and everything works perfectly. When I tried to run it on a machine at a customer, the first form functions perfectly and the second one is created but does not appear!!!,
I am lost!!
Is there a problem of SQL Server 2005?!
Is it because of the nature of the machine (server or client machine)?
Is there a problem of configuration (Operating System)? I'm using Windows XP but the other machine is using Windows 2000.
would somebody have an idea or suggestion?
Thank you in advance

HI Haifa,
When the second form opens (but doesn't appear on screen) choose Windows--Cascade from the top menu. Sometimes a form will open outside the viewable area in the SBO client so choosing this menu option will reset it.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Unexpected form error when saving as PDF

I created a form and when I tried to save as PDF for offline input, I get an unexpected form error message. I only added open ended questions and name, email in the form. I used an existing template form and modified it (Market Research template)

Hi,
Thanks for sharing it. I was able to save the PDF form. I think I might know the issue. We've heard from other customers that they get an error when trying to save to disk (either from saving a PDF form, or exporting the submission). When we've heard this in the past, uprading to the latest Flash Player seemed to fix the issue.
Can you check and see what version of Flash you have? You can do this by going to here - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then try installing the latest version of Flash, from here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Thanks,

How to send a form created with liveCycle in PDF

Hi,
I have Acrobat 9. I created a form that I put online in pdf. A client can compile this module with acrobat reader but on send the format used by acrobat reader is .xml. How can I use pdf and not xml?
Thanks to all than can answer me!

Sending PDFs without an Email Client Software installed needs to be handled at the server. Using a Microsoft .net web server, and SMTP host, you can send e-mail with PDFEmail.net. PDFEmail.net doesn't require Adobe Acrobat or Reader installed on the server, and works on remote and local web servers with access to a local or remote SMTP user account. PDFEmail.net doesn't require programming knowledge, just upload the scripts and the libraries to your webserver application root, and point the Submit URL action to the script.
For more information, and online demonstrations, please visit:

Hope this helps!

Hello. Can I still use the forms central to modify my pdf.-files after the software is not supported by adope?

Hello. Can I still use the forms central to modify my pdf.-files after the software is not supported by adope?

Formscentral isn't designed to allow for the modification of PDF files, forms or otherwise. If you have saved forms created in Formscentral as PDF you will continue to be able to modify them in a program like Acrobat. Hope this helps.

Creating Editabe Forms but saving as fixed non-form pdf

I am trying to create a PDF for a client that has 2 editable forms. They want to be able to open the pdf, add info to the 2 form fields but then save the pdf as a fixed, uneditable pdf (no text boxes, no purple bar at the top, etc)
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks.

i think i solved this by using text boxes instead of form fields.
Other users that get the file will still be able to edit them. Reader users cannot change that.
Provided they have acrobat, as long as they were altered to add reader rights they might be able to fill in new blancks they would be able to save the new information. They could fill them and print them but nothing else.
Go to
Document > background choose add. click on color
choose white. the set opaciy to 1% apply.
Next go to adavnced > Print Production > Flatner Preview
click on apply
save as new file.
won't be able to add or take anything away or edit.

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

I downloaded a form and saved as pdf yet cannot attach to email, says in use but all are closed help!

i downloaded a form and saved as pdf yet cannot attach to email, says in use but all are closed help!

for the moment you can Forcequit, as Eustace said.
Really quit a program you do by clicking the menu bar of the program where its name is, on the bottom you see "Quit (appname)"; when it is in the Dock, rightclick it in the Dock and choose "Quit".
Now about yout attachment: it does not matter what you did to it and where you moved it, as long as Preview is still open it doesn't let it go.

Data saved from PDF form printable but not readable?

I created a Reader extended PDF to send out to clients to collect data.
I must have done something wrong as when the forms are coming back, they forms are populated in OSX Preview, but not when opening the PDF in Acrobat.
When the form is printed, all data displays correctly.
Is this something to do with the way the form fields are formatted?
any help appreciated!!! Thank You
FILE IM HAVING TROUBLE WITH

For some reason when I click on the field in Acrobat the data shows?!
It's actually not printing either unless i print from Mac Preview and then it destroys the line height.
Any ideas?

PDF form created from excel is missing fields when copied into word ... sometimes but not others...

Hello,
As part of my dissertation project I have created countless tables in excel. Using the Save as PDF feature on Mac Office Word 2011 I created that tables as PDF's which I dropped into my word document and Cropped them down to size.
For some reason, when I open the word document on the PC, some of the info in the tables is randomly gone. Also, when we send the word file (with embeded PDF's) to a journal for publication they try to combine all the files as a PDF and the tables again lose data.
1) Why is this happening?
2) I also noticed that in Mac Word 2011 I had an option to "Save as Adobe PDF". when I select this option I am given several other options (see below) for the type of PDF that will be created. Which of these options would be ideal to overcome the problem listed above.
high quality print
oversized pages
PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)
PDF/A-1b:2005 (RBG)
PDF/X-1a:2001
PDF/X-3:2002
Smallest File Size
Standard
Thanks,
Paul

Hmm -- one of my customers is a turkish building company
(Kusadasi BTW), and when *they* add some contents to the DB,
they´ll be entering turkish chars. It´s in particular the
turkish "I" which is pretty different, and this is when a search
for keywords containing a western "I" will fail.
Could that be the problem in your case ?

How to save Fillable PDF form created in XI - So Acrobat Reader can fill out and send back

Hi, Im extremely hopeful someone can help me with this question, Ive had extreme luck with this question site, you have all been amazing.
I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat XI and I have saved my work and Im ready to send the form to my client.
I have been told that I need to save my file in a manner that the general public that does not have Acrobat XI, and mainly has acrobat reader, will be able to open, fill my form out, and send back to me completed.
How do I do this.
Ive run a couple tests with coworker and its not allowing the saving of the information that she filled out.
Does anyone know how I need to save and distribute this form so I get it back filled out from my clients? that probably have only reader?
thanks in advance for your help.
Amy

I think I figured this out???? My pdf tester has gone to bed, so hopefully I will know by morning if this is my solution......
Open the PDF in Acrobat XI (the form you have saved that is ready to be filled out to whoever you distribute the form to).
Choose Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader (Acrobat 8/9) (if you have XI do not do this step, but do step 4 for XI)
or
File > Save As >Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features (Acrobat X) (Its actually not in save as, but in save as other)
Save the PDF using a different file name, you will be using this new file to be the file you will distribute.
When you now open the PDF in Adobe Reader you will be able to fill the form and save the data and then send it back to the author that is requesting the form to be filled out.

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

Saving several pdf forms to one file

Hi to all,

Hi,
The problem is that on every form you fet while calling the function module, you get the header information of an ADOBE Forms so when you try to open it you will see the latest one ...
The ideal solution is to merge all your document into one , unfortunately it's not possible while using ADS in SAP .
An alternative for your problem is to modify your form in order to have page break while changing of forms . Then you will retrieve only one form with all page and that should work.
Hope this is clear and help you .
Regards.

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

Intermittent problem saving a pdf form

I have created a 17 page PDF form in LiveCycle Es with many dynamic features, such as adding or subtracting more lines to a table. The whole document is about 700KB ( 800 after being partially filled in) in size. I put fillable password protection on it and ran it thru Adobe Extension, checking Basic Fill-in and Final.
Most users are happy with it except two people are having problems saving it to their computer. Both downloaded it from Firefox to their computers, then opened it and began typing. Sometimes they are able to save their work and other times not. One was able to do a Save As and rename it, but that didn't even work for the other. One was getting an error message saying to the effect that the volume for the file was externally altered and cannot be saved.
They are both using Reader 8 or 9 and one has Vista while the other has XP. I have downloaded the form at work and at home and cannot duplicate their problem so I suspect the problem is at their end.
Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I think have a similar question as you answered here. But I want to just make sure I am understanding your response.
I have created a PDF form in LiveCycle and saved it as an Adobe Static PDF form. When I supply this form to my users. The only way they can fill it out and save it is they must have Adode ACROBAT. The free Adobe Reader will not allow a user to fill out the form and then save it electronically. They can only fill out the form in Reader and then print it out. Is this correct?
So any one I want to fill out the form and save it electronically will need to have Adobe Acrobat and at least the Standard addition...which costs money.
