Form Creation in Acrobat X Pro - unable to save as Reader Extended PDF

I am using Acrobat X Pro on the Windows 7 OS. I have created a document in Word (Office 2010), saved it as a PDF and added form fields. When I try to Save As Reader Extended PDF, the options are grayed out. How do I create a form from a Word document that allows all end users to be able to type in the fields, use a digital signature, save a copy and print the PDF with the completed fields?

In create the document in MS Word and save the file. Then I select print, and choose Adobe PDF as my printer to save it as a PDF. I then open the PDF file and select Tools, Forms, to create the form and add fields as needed. After I'm finished, I attempt to "Save As" and try to select Reader Enabled PDF, but the options are grayed out and unavailable.
Blessings,

  • Unable to save as "Reader Extended" in Acrobat 9.2

    Hello,
    I have created a form in Acrobat 9.2. When I save the form and open it in Adobe Reader I can complete the form but I cannot save the completed form, only print.
    I need to save the save the form as "Reader Extended" but I cannot find the option when I am saving the form in Acrobat 9.2.
    Any ideas?
    David

    It should be under Advanced - Extend User Rights in Adobe Reader... (or
    something similar to that)

  • Acrobat 8 Pro fails to Save As or Create PDF or otherwise save new PDFs

    I am running 8.1.2 on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.4 and the whole Master Collection installed.
    So, here's what's going on: If I open a PDF in Acrobat and make changes to it, I can save it, but I cannot "Save As." It will go through the normal routine of naming and locating the file, but then it will just gray out all the menus and prevent me from closing the document or doing anything else.
    It does the same thing if I Create PDF, or if I attempt to scan something and save it as a PDF.
    Basically, saving a NEW PDF file from Acrobat fails. I have been working around it by creating a dummy file and naming any new file the same thing, which it will overwrite.
    Anyone have a clue on this? I've tried reinstalling Acrobat, but it hasn't helped.

    I have installed Photoshop Elements 6. When I attempt to start the program(in windows XP). It attempts to start(hour glass appears), then nothing happens. The FAQ has this issue and says it is associated with a Licensing service problem and links you to a patch. However the patch is for Vista only. I'm running XP any solutions?

  • Answer requested from adobe techs only - deals with forms creation in Acrobat 9 Pro

    Need to accomplish the following steps, and how to do so in Acrobat Pro 9, or if not possible in that program, what program is needed to do so
    1, Create a pdf form which can not be modified by viewer
    2, Post our website and ask for certain information in answer to questions posted
    3. Enable responders to fill in answers by typing on their keyboards and then be able to print their own hard copies if desired
    4. Trigger automatic signal to require field entry if respondent fails to complete all required fields before saving
    5. Receive responses electronically back to the creator of the forms via an Adobe created data base

    No techs here. Most of the answers are in the manual.

    Hello,
    When I try to save a form as “Reader Extended PDF” in Acrobat Pro, I get an error message “This document could not be reader enabled”.
    The steps I’m following are described below:
    1.    Insert electronic signatures
    - In Tasks, click on “Add New Field -> Digital Signature”.
    - Move the square to the place where you want to put the signature and click.
    - Fill in the “field name” with the name of the person who has to sign here.
    - When it is done, click anywhere on the screen.
    - In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
    - Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
    - Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
    2.    Save the Form
    - In Tasks, click on “Close Form editing”.
    - Go to menu “File -> Save as -> Reader Extended PDF ->Enable additional features”, click on “Save now”.
    - Fill in the file name and click on “Save”.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.0.0 on a W7 workstation
    Here's a screenshot of the problem.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Fatal error distributing forms with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

    Fatal error distributing forms with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    I click
    "Adobe Acrobat Pro/Formularer/Distribuer formularer/"
    ("Adobe Acrobat Pro/Forms/Distribute forms/")
    and chose a form for distribution and in the picture "Distribute Form" chose
    "Automatically download & organize responsees with Acrobat.com".
    I then click "Next" and write an email-address to send it to (i.g. to my own)
    and then click "Send".
    The program quickly writes
    "Authenticating email-addresses"
    and then gives the following error message
    "Borland Database er ikke installeret. Kan ikke indlæse tjenesteudbyder af Corel-adressekartotetek."
    ("Borland Database is not installed. Can not read load service provider of Corel address directory.")
    When I clik "OK" I get the error message
    "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I have undeleted and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat many times without any effect.
    The same procedure has been tried on another computer without any problem.
    What is my problem and how do I resolve it ?
    Operating System Windows XP
    Has worked may times before
    Same results with other files
    No recent system hardware or software change

  • Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

    I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

    I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
    1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
    2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
    3. If it's a browser
    (a) what is the browser
    (b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

  • Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?

    Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?
    Attempted to re-install the original Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro from the disk provided with the purchase; and it has put me in a trial; and is requesting that I purchase the software I already paid for, two years ago.

    You can try a repair (may need to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features). A reinstall is a last resort, but if you go there be sure to uninstall from the control panel, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any part left of the Acrobat folder. Then reboot as the administrator and reinstall. Be sure to disable antivirus during the install.

  • 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.

  • How to keep Reader from being installed if running Pro? Running Acrobat X Pro. Occaisionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system. NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro). How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

    Running Acrobat X Pro.
    Occasionally, a website with a PDF triggers Reader to be installed on my system.
    NEVER want reader (that's why i bought Pro).
    How do i keep Reader from EVER being installed?

    I don't get a pop-up. Something triggers the Reader installer to be loaded on my system. This occurs without my knowledge. Then, the next time i go to open a PDF, instead of it opening immediately with Acrobat Pro, I get the first screen of the installation stuff for Reader (Accept/Decline Terms of use, etc.). At this point, i get out of the install, go into control panel and uninstall Reader (which is listed as a loaded program, even though i haven't finished the install). After i uninstall reader and open a PDF, it opens correctly with Acrobat Pro. This happens once or twice a month at least. Is it possible that the Adobe Acrobat Update Service task loads Reader on my system at some interval? How do i block Reader form EVER being installed or loaded?

    Irenedix

    Hi Irenedix,
    If you are using Acrobat you can try the suggestions mentioned above.
    Are you using the Create PDF service from within Reader to create pdf?
    If yes then please check if you are able to login to: https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf  with your Adobe ID and able to convert the document to pdf.
    If yes then within Reader you can try the following:
    Choose Edit > Preferences (Win)
    Click 'Online Services' or 'Adobe Online Services' on the left-hand side
    Sign out of your Adobe ID and sign back in.
    Regards,

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
    “No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
    or
    “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”
