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.

Can I edit a form created in Adobe Designer/livecycle in Acrobat Pro. 8

Hello
I have a client that sends me PDF's created in LiveCycle. IN the past I've used the following information to open these files.
You can however create a workaround if you absolutely must edit an LCD form in Acrobat. If the form is not a Dynamic form, open the form in Acrobat and choose Document | Extract Pages. (You'll know if the form is not a dynamic form if the Extract Pages command is not grayed out). The extracted pages will not permit accessing the form objects in Acrobat. All scripts in the document are lost and naming conventions for field objects are bizarre. However, the form is editable.
If you want to convert an LCD dynamic form to an editable Acrobat form, you need to use Acrobat 7 Pro. This won't work in Acrobat 8. In Acrobat 7 Pro choose File | Create PDF | From Web Page. Open the form in the Create PDF From Web Page dialog box. Again, all scripts are lost and field object names are bizarre, but you can edit the form in Acrobat 7 or 8 Pro.
But these files must be saved as Dynamic pdf's. I have tried saving them as static forms but the Document | Extract Pages is still greyed out when I open in Professional? What gives how can I get around this most annoying situation? I need to get the extract pages from being greyed out?
Thanks,
Dan

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.

Editing form created in earlier version of Adobe Acrobat

I'm trying to edit a form created in Adobe Acrobat 7; we're now using Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I can't seem to edit text; why?

No.

While creating a PDF document usinf Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it generates additional blank pages.

While creating a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it generates additional blank pages. How do I resolve this issue?

I might make a wild guess that you are using WORD and have used hard page breaks. If that is the case, then likely what happens is when you print to PDF the document is being reflowed to match the printer and the forced page break may end up on the next page and be forcing a second page. Just a guess.

Issue attaching files in Adobe Reader from a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Extended

Hello all,
I am having issues- big ones- please help!
I have created a simple form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 extended version that will be made available in a local drive for our salesmen to open not online or in html format- fill in and send back to their manager and the factory- there are 2 e-mail submit buttons on this form and the user selects which one to send to.
This form also has a button for save and for print. Everything works great except that the attach a file button I created. It works in Adobe Acrobat, but not in Reader. When you click the button in Reader it compresses but nothing happens.
I have tried many different things- including extending the rights to adobe reader.
Also, this form has a password protected security and I have given permission to print, to fill in the form and sign existing signature fields. When adding the security I made sure it said compatible with Adobe 3.0 and later versions.
I know I have to do the security before I extend the rights to reader and not the other way around.
Don't know what else to do.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
A.

I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it. Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format?
For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out. They fill it out and click a button to email it to me. When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
Thank you for your help thus far. It has been much more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

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.

After upgrading from acrobat 9.5 to XI pro my users have complained on slow typing when filling in form that were created in version 9.5?

The issue is they type but there is 2 second delay when it appears in the field.

I see, I misread your reference to Reader 11 to mean you were using Acrobat 11, but it looks like it worked out anyway.
The base-14 fonts are special in PDF because they are guaranteed to be available even if they are not embedded. If you select a non-base-14 font for use with a form field, the entire font usually gets embedded, since each glyph it contains has to be available for use with the field. This can take up a lot of space if you do this a lot, and the space isn't reduced if you change back to a base-14 font later because the internal reference to it is not removed. This is caused by the bug I mentioned.
In your case, however, the entire font doesn't get embedded because fonts like it (e.g., large asian fonts with a lot of glyphs, Arial Unicode) would take up too much space if fully embedded. If it did, a 100KB PDF could bloat to 20MB with that one change. Instead, users are expected to have such fonts installed on their system, which is why you were prompted to install the font pack. This despite the fact that the font was not actually used by anything in your document, it was simply the orphaned reference to it that triggered this. This should get fixed in Acrobat eventually so this type of thing doesn't happen again.

Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro. That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible?
Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
Thanks!

The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

PDF forms open with data in Acrobat 6 but open Blank in Acrobat 9

I have various forms which I have filled with data using Adobe Acrobat 6 Professional. Now When i open them using the same, it shows the data inside the form (like it should).
Unfortunately, there are these new forms released that are not compatible with Acrobat 6 Pro, so now I upgraded and have both Acrobat Professional 6, and Acrobat Professional 9 installed.
When i open the forms with data which I have saved when i used Acrobat 6 Pro, they open all blank in acrobat 9 pro, what shall I do.
I have been looking for this answer for days now. All the data is very important, and I do not want to loose it, these forms are my business please help...
I am stuck in between different versions of Acrobat. Thanks.

Hi there,
I'm having this exact same problem, so I wanted to bump this back into circulation, since I've yet to find a fix - let alone any information on it - anywhere.
I can't attach a file at this point (confidentiality), but I'll try to create one that I can upload.
In our case, they are Government forms. I know they have security on them, and I know that Acrobat 9's security differs from that of Acrobat 6, so I have to figure something 'broke' in the compatibility.
Basically, we've used Acrobat Standard 4, 5 and 6 for ages. I finally got the go ahead to upgrade everyone to 9 Standard (and a few to 8 Standard). These forms, which were filled out over the past number of years, all show up fine in any Acrobat (Reader, Standard or Pro) from version 7 and below. Opening them in 8 or 9 show the form in it's entirety, but the fields completely blank. If I open it again in a lesser version, the data is once again viewable.
I'm really hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Although I've read the contrary, I can't believe Acrobat would create a product that didn't allow you to open previously created PDFs - even if it takes a patch, or plug-in, or some sort of setting change.
Well, that's my call for help. Hopefully someone has some answers since this thread died a year ago.
Thanks!
Dave

Cannot save data in form create in acrobat

We have a form created in Acrobat 9 pro and it is setup so that it can be filled out and saved in Adobe Reader 11. We use this form on our small business domain and most of the time the form will save but lately we see an error that tells us very little just "Unexpected Error Occurred" and then no matter what you do you cannot save the form data. It's setup with a master form, then they save it individually by a new name. When this error occurs we just can't save it, nor can we print it! It's as if the data isn't there any more. I'm not sure what is happening but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

Hi,
First of all, check the PDF producer of your form. Open Form in Acrobat -> Go to File -> Properties -> Look for PDF Producer in "Description" (Tab).
1. If your form is created by Acrobat then Reader XI should be able to save the form.
2. If it is created by LC Designer then you need extend the rights for Reader in the form.
For Acrobat 9 Pro --
Go to Advanced > Extended Features in Adobe Reader

How do I create a form that is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

how do I create a form That is fillable and saveable with acrobat reader 9

To create forms on your computer you need to purchase Acrobat Standard.
Better yet, Acrobat Pro.
To provide Extended form Rights you need to purchase Acrobat Professional.
Or Standard, unless you need to enable digital signatures in Reader.

I want to let Reader users add a photo to a form created in Acrobat 9.

I have a form created in Acrobat 9. I want to allow Acrobat Reader 11 users to add a photo. Can I bring the form into Live Cycle Designer to do so, or will that cause conflicts with the Acrobat form?

In that case you can't do it with an Acrobat form. Moving to an LCD form is not a mere technicality. The two technologies are very different from one another and are not compatible with one another. You should think and test it carefully before making such a move, and make sure to keep backups of your Acrobat forms.

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.

When I left my former employer, Pollinate Agency, I bought a MacBook Pro with Acrobat Pro (version 9 or possibly 9.5) installed from the company. I recently had a serious computer crash, and needed to get all contents erased. The support provider didn't have my product key, so could not reinstall Acrobat Pro for me. Since then, I have gotten the product key sent to me from my former employer, [ REMOVED ] So I need help in re-downloading, installing and activating the Acrobat Pro software on this computer.

Please remove the S/N immediately (I can't or would). Never post them online. As for download you can go to http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html on the right panel to get 9 pro. I am not sure there is a MAC version there, but that is the first place to go. If it is the proper version, then please back it up to CD and/or portable HD, not the system HD.

Form created in ES4 won't save data entered in acrobat readerXI

I have created a large form in Live Cycle Designer ES4. If I save the form as a pdf and open it in Acrobat Reader XI I get the message that I cannot save data entered in the form only print it. All I want to do is to put the form on our web site for people to download, complete, save and e-mail it back to me. I did consider an alternative method which is if I distribute the form and take the distributed pdf and save it locally, when it is opened in Reader you get the submit button on teh purple bar on teh right hand side. This will confuse a lot of our users so if there is a way to not have the submit button then that would work but how do I stop the submit button appearing on the purple bar?

You have to Reader-enable the form. You can do this in Acrobat 11 by opening the form in Acrobat and selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
Reader 11 can save non-enabled AcroForms (forms created in Acrobat), but not non-enabled XFA forms (forms created in LiveCycle Designer).
